Cozy, Warm & Stylish?  Is It Possible?

There are some days that make you just want to stay inside, wrapped up in your favorite sweater and cozy pair of socks, right?
But let’s face it – we don’t always have that luxury.
So why not take a little bit of that warm and cozy feeling with you?  You can keep your toes toasty and still look like the stylish fashionista that you are – if you pair your knits and your footwear together….

Stylish Winter Boots for Warm Toes

We just got an early blast of winter – which made me remember that I hadn’t replaced my old pair of winter boots.
Oops!
There’s nothing quite like waking up to two inches of snow… and the realization that you having nothing to keep your feet warm and dry!  Hey, at least it’s a good excuse to go shoe shopping
And while the classic “Moon Boot” may be warm and cozy, they aren’t quite the style statement I’m trying to make:

Luckily, there are lots of stylish options to keep my toes warm, dry and fashionable this winter.

New Boots from Silhouettes

New Boots from Silhouettes

Boots are a great look for fall.  There are slouchy boots, tall equestrian-style boots – even cute little ankle boots – perfect for pairing with a great pair of jeans.
But for those of us with generous calves, boot shopping can be a real challenge.
You can sometimes get a boot repair person to add an elastic gusset to the inside of the shaft.  Of course, if you can’t try the boot on before you buy it, that makes things all the more challenging.
Luckily, the fashion world is listening to our pleas for stylish boots for wider calves.
Silhouettes has a great line …read more

How Do You Like Your Boots?

Tall boots are such a great wardrobe accent for fall and winter.
They’re great for adding an extra layer of warmth with skirts, or you can pair them with a pair of jeans or pants.
But the question remains, how do you like your boots?  Do you like them with straps, or with zippers?  Ruffles or with laces?  Not sure what I mean?  Let me show you…

The “Narcissa” boot from Lauren by Ralph Lauren are accented with leather straps that spiral up the shaft of the boot.  They’re available in several colors and come with branded brass hardware.

If you’d prefer zippers rather …read more

Divine Details Or Dreadful?

Don’t get me wrong – I love to make a statement with my footwear as much as the next woman…
But these boots are an awful lot of look for one outfit.
I’d like your opinion please – am I right, or are these boots just too much for the average person to wear?
Let’s start with boot A:

The “Tangy” boot by Beverly Feldman is made from embroidered suede and trimmed with “sculpted” patent leather.
Our next contestant… less embroidery – more horse shoes:

And the lesson for today is…

Especially hot pink Muppets.
Seriously, leave the puppets alone and pull on something something… I don’t know, stylish, or attractive – I can even work with trendy here!
You want a bold color?  Let’s see what we can find that won’t make my eyes ache…
How about the “Denver” boot by David Tate?

Waterproof and fashionable? Is that possible?

Waterproof and fashionable?  Is that possible?

It’s snowy, sloppy and hovering right around freezing today.  The roads and sidewalks are covered with slush – there’s no way you can wear a pair of fashionable boots today, right?
Wrong!
Water-proofing technology has come a long way, and that means you wear a pair of fabulous boots and keep your toes dry at the same time.  No more slogging around the city in heavy rain boots!
Need some proof?  Check out these sleek black “Aquatalia” ankle boots by Marvin K. Holly:

How about a tall boot with high heels?  The “Minna” by Sudini should fit the bill:

And then there’s the ultimate test… …read more

Finally – the perfect fit solution for boots!

I love boots – they’re versatile, fashionable and can be worn any time from morning until night.  But what happens when your calves are too heavy, or legs too thin, or you’re too tall or too short.
Boot unhappiness!
TOMS has finally found a solution and created a boot that should fit almost anyone who wears it.  The Wrap boot is essentially a shoe with a long, stretchy cotton band attatched to the top of the shoe:

To wear the boot, you slip the shoe on and spiral the wrap around your legs.  You can go as high as you’d like or keep …read more
