Everyday OTKs!

First of all ... what exactly is OTK, you may ask. OTK is just a short acronym for the trendy boot style that's here to stay. Over-the-Knee boots are flattering because they elongate the leg while keeping you warm and covered for these chilly days ahead.


For many of us, we may already be aware of this hot boot trend, but thigh-high, stiletto versions may be just a little too impractical and dangerous to go running around in during the day. Plus, while these sexy shoes may be perfect for a night out with the girls, they're too risque for everyday errands and activities.


But we love this boot trend too much to not find a way to wear it to work, to school and anywhere else that strikes our fancy! Opt for a version that is flat or wedged for more standing support, and look for looser fits of leather and suede to give your look a casual, edgy vibe. Equally cute over leggings or paired with a pretty dress, you'll find yourself loving your OTKs everyday!

No longer does colder weather mean hideous, bulky snow boots! Gone are the days of thick rubber soles and heavy tread.

In fact, colder weather foot fashion is now something to dress your outfit around and are worth showing off!

Without further adieu, our three must-have boots for fall:



OTK (Over the Knee) : The more leather the better with these fall staples! Worn over skinny jeans or leggings, these thigh highs are a must for the cold weather. Balance the height out with a flat heel to look stylish and not like a street-walker. OTK=FAB!

Lace-Up Booties: A modern twist on an early 1900's school girl style. These instant classics are perfect when folded over with tweed skirts and jackets, or tied high over leggings with an oversized chunky knit. Class is in session and you're the most stylin'!

Shearling Ankle Boots: Yes, you're shearling jacket should officially be jealous now. Fashion meets function with these cutting edge (and really warm!) fall musts. Comfy, cute and matches everything!
