    Every woman, whether she admits it or not, has a shoe addiction. Stiletto pumps should have a home in every woman's closet and strappy anythings add sex appeal to any outfit. The real power player in the woman's shoe department, however, is the boot. Tall, heeled, slouchy or whatever the style, boots always make a statement when you put them on. Whether you're trying to achieve casual comfort, add an edgy vibe, or be an all-out sex kitten, there's a style of boot that will do it for you. With all the variety in boot fashion that is now available, it's not a bad idea to invest in a quality pair or two to add to your shoe collection. Quality leather boots can be a little hard on the wallet and, while I'm not saying that they wouldn't be worth it, maybe your bank roll just can't quite handle a designer pair at the moment. That's no excuse or reason to not join the latest shoe craze and rock some killer boots so click on the slideshow to see some favorite leather boots for $100 or less!

    These Platform Pumps Make It Chic To Be Square!

    Pointed, rounded, almond, peep toe... you may think you've got your bases covered when it comes to shoe shopping, but there's a new style on the block that's ready to take over. Square toe platform pumps are popping up everywhere lately -- designer and bargain brands alike -- and are bringing that ballerina-inspired pointe shoe look to the style scene. The flattened toe provides a vintage feel, especially if you go Mad Men style with a pencil skirt, while the platform gives the look a modern edge. Be careful when indulging in this trend, though -- if you're looking to elongate your legs, you might not want to throw out all your pointed pumps and replace them with their snubbed-toe counterpart! However, all you leggy girls can lust after the trend without fear! Of course, your credit card may have reason to fret if you go overboard... check the slideshow to see a selection of hot square-toed platforms!

    Hot Leggings For Fall's Cold Weather

    Why not add a whole new meaning to the term "hot pants?" Most of the time, all we ask of our leggings is that they're comfortable and versatile enough to throw underneath our favorite tops. When the colder weather strikes, however, we need a lil' something extra if we plan on leaving the house. The blustery winds can be enough to make you want to wear nothing but sweats, but the change of season doesn't mean you need to sacrifice looking cute in order to stay warm. Whether you're sick of them or not, leggings aren't going anywhere soon, so while that's more than we can say about summer, we've got some cold-weather safe picks to add to your legging collection Heavier fabrics from jeans and sweater materials to velvet and suede are one way to keep your tush toasty. And don't underestimate simple additions such as patches, zips and buttons to give your garment just a little something extra when facing the fall. Regardless of temperature, any of this season's takes on the now-staple, skin-tight classic are bound to make you look hot: it's not about the warmth your leggings will bring you this upcoming season -- it's about the heat the new season will bring to your leggings to make you look hotter than ever!

I'll skip lunch for a week to justify those awesome pumps that I have recently added to my collection.

    The ubiquitous Ugg Boots that Oprah made famous a few years ago may have seen their best days. Still, there are times when the weather gets chilly, and you just feel like being comfy, and it seems like there's no better solution than your favorite worn-in jeans tucked into some beat-up shearling boots. Or maybe you're into that whole mini-skirt with Uggs thing, though I never really got that. In any case, there are now so many variations on the classic for you to choose from, whether they're flats or wedges, suede or quilted flannel, real or faux, tall or short, etc. Fur boots can even be dressy - as evidenced by these black Vanessa Bruno booties. So whether you're still rocking the basic shearling style or looking for a new interpretation, check out the SLIDESHOW for some cozy winter boots!
