Q & A: Boots for Fall

Hi guys! This is the first in a series of Q&A Sofia and I will be doing with each other. We both have similar interests--art, fashion, design--but we  have different areas of expertise. For instance, when I have graphic design questions or photoshop issues or shoe dilemmas or need typography advice I go to Sofia.

Question: Sof! I DESPERATELY need (read: want) two new pairs of boots for the fall...I don't want to spend tons of money but I do want them to be high quality in both material and style so I can wear them to work. My work is fairly casual but I do want something that looks polished and will elevate my jeans or cords. I like brown and black, zippers up the back, knee high, motorcycle style..ummm ok I think that's it...HELP me??

Answer:

Ok so you asked this question at the perfect time! The Half Yearly sale for Women and Children at Nordstrom just started on Nov 1st! I would start by shopping in my department (salon shoes) because the quality is so much better than women's shoes.

Cole Haan is a great option because the price point isn't too high (especially on sale) and they have Nike air in the sole so you will be extra comfy. My favorites won't be on sale but they are great...black AND brown!




Another Trend that is really popular amongst the designers for fall 2012 is the short boot...motorcycle, dicker, combat etc. Jimmy Choo has an awesome one called the "youth". It is $995 so for a more realistic version you should try the VC Signature "warren" it is going on sale and it is very similar. It is about $200 on sale, I believe.


If Salon boots are too pricy then women's shoes does have some more mid-range pricing. A few brands I recommend are Sam Edelman (trendy), Frye (classic western), Ivanka Trump, Enzo Anglioni.


Sam Edelman (cute huh?)


Happy Shopping!

Rain

Today was the first real rain of the season, it smelled wonderfully clean and fresh outside.

I enjoyed waking up to the sound of the drops on the roof and I'm excited to fall asleep to its steady tapping tonight.



Also, I think I may need to invest in some rain boots since I will be commuting in the rain. Which ones do you like better?
