Look for boots that are stylish but not overly trendy. You want to select a pair of boots that will last a long time, are comfortable and in a colour that will go with everything. Black is always a good choice as well as brown. If you already have the basic colours in your boot collection, that’s when you can incorporate fun shades like the Purple Jessica Simpson slouched boots above.  You should have a variety of heel heights as well – flat, low, stacked, wedge and stiletto for dressier events.

Boots make great investments because you can wear them in a myriad of ways. Wear them with skinny jeans, tights or dare I say it, leggings. Boots can make your ensemble hip and trendy or laid back and casual. It’s all in the way you put things together.

Little Grey Dresses for Day & Night

(Images: Bergdorf Goodman)

Christian Louboutin Candy Lace & Patent Spike Pump ($835) – A wild mix of black lace, red patent leather and gold spikes, these shoes are not for the faint of heart!

Jimmy Choo Bright Corset Bootie ($895) – These booties give off the ultimate tough rock edge. Wear them with jeans for a chic daytime look or balance them with a feminine dress for evenings.

Dolce & Gabbana Tall Leopard-Sole Boots ($1095) – Hot boots are made even hotter with the cool leopard print soles. Infuse a bit of ‘rowr’ to your ensemble!

Alexander McQueen Skull Zipper Pump ($895) – Totally to die for pumps in a lush metallic red and accented with the playful signature skull and zipper details.

Fendi Colourblock Patent Pump ($720) – These are pretty tame compared to all the other shoes but they’re no less as fierce. The hot pink is a fab contrast to the black patent.

Christian Louboutin Low-Cut Patent Bootie ($995) – Seen on all the top celebrities, these booties are definitely the “it” shoe for fall

Dior Serpent Pump ($820) – A beautiful pieced scalloped detail give these red hot shoes a cool tough vibe.

If you’re looking for a gift idea for a birthday, anniversary or just because, these shoes would definitely make her day. Of course, you don’t necessarily have to buy these exact shoes, they’re shown here as a guide as to what’s hip and fun for Fall 2009. These beauties can all be purchased at Bergdorf Goodman.
