Lavender argyle rain boots, $19.99

detaillavender argyle rain bootsEver feel like the climate where you live keeps you from wearing what you want?

My current obsession with rain boots started in September with these floral rain boots, but I figured that I wouldn’t have much use for them living here in the sunshine state. Last month, I wanted to move to Seattle when I saw these cheery daisy boots. And just last week, my resistance was almost cracked by these super sassy cherry rain boots.

Well, I finally caved — and here is the pair that did me in with lavender argyle.

So, I’m hoping for lots of rain next week because I’ll be wearing these regardless.

Sizes 6-10 are still available; ships to the U.S. and APO/FPO addresses.

Blue suede boots, $44

detailblue suede bootsEver notice how some women can make casual look effortlessly stylish? The key is to put as much thought into casual purchases as you would when shopping for formal wear.

For example, jeans and sneakers might go together like cheese and macaroni, but that doesn’t mean that sneakers are the only casual option. Tuck those skinny jeans into these blue suede boots for a fun look that’s just as comfy.

And if you’re not as crazy about the blue as I am, they are also available in black. Or get them in both colors since they’re just $44, down from $59.

Sizes 6-11 available; ships worldwide.

Dolce Vita Houston slouch riding boots, $175

rear detailslouch riding bootsRiding boots have been big this winter, but to be perfectly honest, some styles I’ve seen remind me too much of what I used to wear to muck stalls.

Then I saw this pair from Dolce Vita. The design is the perfect combination of carefree slouch and fine leather work. In short, they’re gorgeous and very wearable whether you get the black or brown pair.

They’re also on sale for $175, half off the original price of $350. Ground shipping is free, but they also ship worldwide.

Sizes 6-10 available except for 9 and 9.5 (otherwise a pair would be headed my way).

How to wear boots in winter

bootsIn Tokyo right now it’s cool and clear and gorgeous: so I am out and about seeing fabulous winter fashion ensembles. The key element appears to be boots, boots, boots (and coats, but that’s another story).

Cool Japanese women have been in boots from the moment the temperature dropped, accessorising dresses, skirts, pinafores, asymmetrical skirts and boleros, knits and jeans. It’s a fantastic look and, providing you are in a temperate climate, very successful.

I am almost overwhelmed by the choice available: flat, heeled, buckled, cowboy, rubber equestrian style, fur-trimmed, wedge, black, tan, white (this is impossibly elegant), biker, platform-sole, quilted, not to mention the high-end labels (Burberry’s rubber is very popular), so I’ve done some thinking on the best way to wear boots in winter.

Save your boots by saving those wrapping paper rolls

bootsHere’s a great idea from Angie at YouLookFab: save those cardboard wrapping paper rolls after you’ve used up the paper, cut them in half, and use them as boot shapers to keep your boots from getting bent out of shape! It’s an idea I’ve put to use this week on my awesome new boots (thanks again, Mom!) and it works fabulously.

If you’ve already thrown away the rolls, or have more boots than rolls, then check out her post for more ideas from Angie and her readers.
