Be Jealous Of Your Own Feet: Fall’s Hottest Flat Black Boots |
|
If you’re sick of flip flops like we are, dive feet first into fall boots. There are so many amazing styles this year – from your basic flat boots, to over the knee boots and leopard booties. Our favorite has got to be the classic black boot; we can’t wait to pair this sophisticated style with skinny jeans, leggings and beyond.
Here are some of our favorites of the season so far:
These Modern Vintage Camie Suede Flat Boots ($350) are a perfect classic boot, but with suede’s added texture and the slightest of heels to give a little height and polish, especially when worn with your best fitting jeans.
The Theo Flat Boots ($425) from Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent strike the perfect balance between tough and tender with their buckle strap detail and exposed zipper. These would be great with jeggings, a blazer and a crossbody bag, channeling an urban equestrian look. Love it!
You’ll need something new to wear with the summer dresses you’ll be wearing with cardis or blazers, and the Steven by Steve Madden Abee Tall Boot ($249.95) is the perfect pair, since its military-inspired buttons are too great looking to hide under pants.
And the Banana Republic Hero over-the-knee boots ($250) are amazingly sleek and sexy worn over skinny jeans, skinny cords or even under your best fitting work pants.
For a more rugged, casual style, we love Madewell’s Flat Motorcycle Boots ($230). The pebbled leather and buttoned ankle strap lend added interest to this pair, sure to become utility players in your fall wardrobe, during the week and and weekends alike.
Get ready for fall fashion with our shopping guides to the best flat boots, blazers, skinny jeans and fall handbags.

First Big Butts, Now Small Busts: The Embrace-Your-Shape Trend Hits Above The Waist |
|
The itty bitty titty committee is back in session.
According to the New York Times, women with small busts are doing less to pad, plump and hide their mosquito bites, and doing more to flaunt them. Their source? A petite lingerie company owner (Lula Lu) who says most small-busted women don’t come to her for padded styles and a community of blogs like Small Bust, Big Heart.
We’ve told you about the big butt trend (courtesy of Kim Kardashian) and the padded panty trend (courtesy of Kelly Ripa) and this is just more evidence that a “flaunt what you got” campaign is sweeping the nation. Victoria’s Secret models be damned.
Got a tiny bust? Check out some of our favorite styles to flaunt your goods:
The beauty of having a small bust is that you don’t always need a painful underwire. A super-comfy bralette is a great way to go; this Hanky Panky Signature Lace Bralette ($46) is an especially sexy one.
Don’t cover your little ta-ta’s with padded, stuffed bras – flaunt them with sheer, lace bras like this sexy DKNY Signature Lace Seamless Underwire bra ($32).
Another super-sexy, wire-less option is this Cosabella Ever Wire-free Bra ($43). Your boyfriend will be a fan, too (trust us on this one).
For everything you need to know about undergarments – check our guides to the best bras for smaller busts, SPANX, and the best wireless bras.

Brooklyn Decker Displays A Surprisingly Cute Way To Ease Boots Into Your Wardrobe |
|
Sports Illustrated cover girl (and wifey of tennis hottie Andy Roddick) Brooklyn Decker stepped out in a surprisingly cute combo of jean cut-off shorts and short Frye boots. I love this idea. What a better way to show off your new fall boots then with bare legs? Pair them with black dresses or pleated skirts this summer, then skinny jeans and leggings for fall. Get Brooklyn’s exact look (hot husband not included) here:
Brooklyn lovers her BCBGMAXAZRIA Textured Pullover Sweater ($188) and so will you. Pull it on over a white tank and shorts while its just starting to get cold, then layer it with vests or blazers this fall.
Take advantage of great end-of-season deals on shorts, like these 7 For All Mankind Josefina Cutoff Denim shorts ($84.50, down from $169) that are still available in every size and are 50% off. Pair them with short boots for an extra kick.
Brooklyn also loves her FRYE Women’s Carmen Harness Short boots ($297.75) in this dark brown wash. Invest in this rich leather pair and you will wear them with everything through winter – skinny jeans, jeggings, skinny black jeans, tights and more.

Meet The Michael Kors Frannie Convertible Boot: Four Pairs In One (!) |
|
These genius boots barely need an introduction–in my case, at least, it was love at first sight. These Michael Kors Frannie boots are the hardest-working boots you’ll ever own. With just a few zips, you can transform them from high boots to mid-calf boots, all the way down to ankle boots.
In versatile black suede and a flat sole, not only do they go with everything but you’ll actually be able to walk in them–every day–from fall until spring. Phew. It must be tough being that perfect. Oh yeah, and they’re 40% off. Happy Wednesday. Get a pair (or more like four) in your size before everyone else does.
Don’t think you can justify it? See what our fashion math equation says. Check out our guide to the best over the knee boots, booties, leopard print shoes and clogs for fall. Then see more best find of the day picks and all of this week’s online sample sales.
