Here are some great boots to add to your fall wardrobe.  The pretty brown color screams fall, in fact. They can be worn with skinny jeans or a sweater dress with tights.  In my opinion, the “ruched” middle is great for us gals who can use a little more “volume” in their calf muscles.  It creates a nice illusion for “chicken legs.”

I’m a woman who likes a heel, but I know there are many of you out there that can’t stand them. That’s why I decided to feature these cute BCBGGirls ‘Lonnie’ flats as the Deal of the Day just in time for the holiday party season. The patent leather dresses them up and the silver hardware makes them really pop. These flats will feel right at home with the best of the party shoes.

You could even wear them on New Years Eve.

They’re only $58 at Nordstrom right now and about $85 everywhere else.

Talk about bootie-licious! How can you deny this sexy lil’ ‘Pauline’ boot from BCBG?  Love the pointed toe, love the seams, love the heel, love the patent leather, and I’m obsessed with the v-shape at the top of the ankle.  I’m so done with summer thanks to fall fashions like this, and I’m really glad the ankle boot is in this upcoming season because now I can stock up–who knows when this will happen again?  A polished boot like this looks amazing with a wool or tweed skirt or pants–the shine really compliments a winter-weight material.

Get this at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for $79 (they go back up to $134.95) after this weekend!

They also come in red:

I love a good flip flop as much as the next girl, but I get sick of watching the whole world pad around in rubber shoes every summer day. Might I suggest a dressed up version, the slingback thong sandal, perhaps? Thongs are just as comfortable as your favorite flip flops, but they pack way more style and you can probably get away with them at work.
