I don't know about you, but I am ready to properly transition into my fall wardrobe. It was really hot in Los Angeles again this weekend – we've had a terribly weird October so far; it's also been windy so it feels, as my friend Marissa said, like you're walking into a hair dryer every time you go outside. I'm over it! I am ready to put on a sweater and some boots! (I was at a birthday celebration this weekend and three of us were sincerely gleeful discussing the one day it was cool enough for jeans.) Or, at the very least, I am ready to look at some boots online!
For my friends who need wide-calf boots or narrow-calf boots, I once again remind you that Dolce Vita carries wide-calf, extra-wide-calf, and narrow-calf options. (As well as standard calf ones, obviously.) I appreciate a brand that recognizes that we all have different calves! (They also offer up to size 15.) I love these nearly-flat suede ones, and these kitten heel "black cherry" ones. (These Inez suede ones are also gorgeous.)
Another PSA that Macy's big fall sale runs though October 25, and they've got limited markdowns on boots, BUT those markdown do include their selection of Frye boots. (Including these combat boots I dig. It's nice to have some shoes you can really stomp around in.) I spent some time looking for lower-priced boots, too – why is everything so expensive? – and Nordstrom Rack has a bunch of boots in now as well, many of which are under $100. (I think I had the original version of these Nine West ones in like 2003. They're still so pretty to me!)
Last year, I wore some M.Gemi combat boots all over the place – the heel was chunky enough that they're easy to walk in – but they aren't making them anymore. We do have an M.Gemi code for 15% off, though – DWB15 – and they're one of the few places where I've seen an ABSOLUTELY flat knee-high boot. (It's pricy, so that 15% off packs a punch.) Obviously, I'm also always tempted by a boot called The Jessica. I'm also DYING for these Doc Martens but...does one NEED floral embroidered Docs? I mean...maybe? They're just so good! (Doc Martens also has a really robust official resale site, btw. Including these patent lace-ups that I love.)
Or maybe one of these will tempt you:
