I’m a big fan of Taryn Rose footwear. Taryn is an orthopedic surgeon turned shoe designer. She creates shoes that are ergonomically designed for the utmost comfort. And though Taryn Rose shoes are super comfortable, they are also stylish too.
These lace-up oxford wedges come in your choice of dark brown or black suede. These shoes feature a cream leather lining and Poron foam padding. Perfect for those days at the office when you don’t want to wear high heel pumps, these sophisticated shoes are professional enough to be worn with just about anything in your workday wardrobe.

Slouchy Boots for Fall

Slouchy is a terrific term for many fall fashions… Slouchy wool cardigan. Slouchy leather hobo. And of course, slouchy boots. Today, let’s take a look at some of the slouchy boots available at net-a-porter.com. Though long and sleek boots are definitely in style this season, slouchy ones can still find their way into your wardrobe.
Stella McCartney Slouchy Faux Leather Boots
These types of slouchy boots are a staple for fall. You can wear them with everything from your favorite jeans to a mini-dress and tights. With a 3 1/2 inch heel they are just tall enough without being sky-high. You …read more
MARC by Marc Jacobs Adjustable Tie Boots

In looking for some unique black boots, I came across this pair from the MARC by Marc Jacobs line. Featuring a black leather upper and 4 1/2-inch wedge heel, its the tie around the shaft that makes these boots special. This adjustable leather tie gives these boots some much needed texture.
Though I like the tie, I’m still not sure I’m sold on these leather boots. At first glance I loved them. But the more I stared, the less I liked these boots. What do you think?

Colorblock dresses have been very trendy for the last year or so. We see a lot of colorblocking in fashion but it’s not often that we see it in boots. Here Fendi does it well with these tricolor leather boots. These knee-high boots are sure to be a hit for fall.
These Fendi boots are available right now at Net-a-porter.com for $995. Net-a-porter displays them with a Fendi crystal-embellished top and Miu Miu leggings. They’d look equally as fabulous with a minidress and tights or even a cropped jacket and riding pants.

Sigerson Morrison Hurache Boot

In this week’s edition of “Ugly Shoes of the Week,” we have the Sigerson Morrison Huarache boot. Can you even call these things boots? Or are they just a bunch of straps that go all the way up to your knee?
These black leather boots feature an open toe and allover straps. I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to start making boots with open toes and cut-out details to make them wearable in warm weather. To me, boots should be boots. Save them for fall and winter. And when spring rolls around, break out the sandals.

If you are looking for a cute, warm winter boot, head to Nordstrom. Their half yearly sale is still going on and they have a variety of fantastic cold weather boots on sale for 40% off.
One of my favorites is this ankle boot from Børn. This boot features a walnut brown leather upper and a genuine shearling lining. The plush shearling spills around the top of the boot for a very warm, cozy look.
If you want to buy heeled boots for winter, choose a wedge or stack heel like this, rather than a thin heel. Though stiletto heels might be …read more

I’m not sold on these boots. My first impression is that I hate them. The wild plum and yellow leopard print is not visually appealing to me. Maybe they’ll grow on me. What do …read more
