Nothing basic about these stunners... very similar to a pair of YSLs I just saw, at about the same price (a tad cheaper) and just as beautiful. I love the black slick patent leather in a flat boot, because it says "cat woman" without having to do death defying stunts (i.e. walking in stiletto boots!)  I would pair these with a pair of leggings and a cute oversized sweater for fall (like a riding boot, but not.)

Lately we have seen these boots in almost every magazine. Again, Nicholas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga has managed to deliver an unexpected and eccentric shoe collection for fall.

I like these rubber and leather boots, although they are not for everyone to wear. The rubber adds an airy and soft look to these super stylish shoes. I don't believe they will be that difficult to pair.

Desirable: Christian Louboutin Very Brode Pump

At first these shoes appear to be nothing special, but I like the pink color and Spanish feel. They kind of remind me of a Christian Lacroix collection back in the 80s. I think these shoes will look fab with anything black, navy or even gray.

I just adore these super cute ballet flats. They have the comfy feel of a slipper, but a leather sole, which makes them perfect for a stroll around the city

Repulsive: El Vaquero Buff Boots

I truly believe in karma, and any women who deserve to wear these hideous boots must have done something really bad back in the days of Calamity Jane and the gold rush because these boots are a monstrosity even by wild wild west standards.

This is a beautiful, timeless boot. The caramel suede is classic and will go with everything. Although they are pricey, these boots aren’t going out of style any time soon! They are also available in black leather and black and purple suede. Although the purple is fun and very popular for the season, if you’re looking for a fashion investment, stick with either the black or camel.

Desirable: Christian Dior Karenne Flower Salome

John Galliano was inspired by Faberge's magnificent jeweled eggs when he created this salome. The sculpted heel is a reminder of the delicate Faberge masterpieces.

Affordable: Joie One Way Woven Side Crunch Boots

I simply love these cute boots. They will be easy to pair with any kind of outfit, from dresses to jeans. I think they are on the way to becoming a must-have boot for fall.

Repulsive: Sonia Rykiel Patent Wedge Boots

As far as I remember, Sonia Rykiel has always been around. She was crowned "the queen of knits" in 1967.

But I wonder what someone once voted as one of  the "10 most elegant women" would think of these hideous boots bearing her label?

Although I am a little too old for this style, I adore these boots. Fringe boots are super fun and adorable to wear, but be aware that there is a fine line between being whimsical and being tacky. So, if you decide on a pair of fringe boots, make sure that they do not have too high of a heel or a platform.

These Joie boots have the perfect combination of trendiness and elegance. They would be perfect paired with jeans or a mini-skirt, or they would look fabulous with tights and a simple t-shirt dress.

Tall, slouchy boots are ultra sexy and everywhere this season. Joie brings us the perfect pair in a perfect shade of brown, black and gray. (If you didn't know it was Fall by the changing leaves, you could certainly tell from all the shades of suede!!)  I would pair these with black leggings and a cardigan for an equestrian chic look!

Simple, cute, and classically funky.  You could do so much with a bootie like this. I like the platform under the ball of the foot, and the rounded upper adds some playfulness. And don't we all need some added playfulness? I would pair these with--yes, you guessed it--skinny jeans and a tee or dress 'em up with ... none other than a dress (not a gown, something cocktail)!

Yes, ladies. It's that time of year... time to dream about when the weather will be crisp enough to don a great pair of boots. This particular boot is stunning to say the least. Love all the delicate folds in the ultra soft suede. And that color is perfect for fall (a natural brown like that of a moccasin).  I would wear these with leggings or skinny jeans with an oversized "boyfriend" sweater.

I really don’t care for this brand at all. I usually think their shoes either look odd or dowdy, and these shoes are no exception. The leather looks really luxurious, and it’s a pretty shade of beige, so it’s a shame the shape of these boots is so strange. The shape of the boot top is just weird and too loose. I haven’t tried them on, but it looks to me that they will almost look like they are too big on the ankle. And the heel just doesn’t go with the rest of the boot. Plus, the white of the platform just detracts from the nice leather, and makes the whole shoe look cheap.
