Bootie Call

Fashion may be ever changing, but one thing that ALWAYS stays constant is a womans love for a great boot…or any shoe for that matter! While we patiently await the arrivals of Fall's newest booties, we bring you some great transitional and pre-fall boots with all the suede you could possibly need! From ankle to knee high and lace ups to buckles, here are booties to buy now.

Our first pick combines classically elegant elements to make, in our opinion, the ultimate boot. The Samia Boot by House of Harlow 1960 is a sky-high wedge meets over the knee suede beauty. With its straightforward silhouette, this boot can be worn with anything- from your favorite jean-leggings and flowy lace tee, to your bondage-style mini dress.

These equestrian-style boots pair perfectly with your skinny jeans or a loose sundress. The Nichola is definitely an every day staple and can be worn for years to come. I would call this an investment piece, but Boutique 9 prices their line accordingly, and for $200.00, these boots are a steal!

If you're looking for something to wear around town (what? you don't like wearing knee-high boots in 90 degree weather?) you'll love the very boot-like Gauntlet Snake Sandals by Jenni Kayne. This beautiful pair of snakeskin booties slip over your foot and sling back over your heel. Fortunately for us, this stunning pair of booties is 70% off at ShopBop right now, which brings us one step closer to pairing it with a dazzling sequin tank and high waisted skirt.

Now onto the real booties! With the Glen Platform Booties by Ash, we’re combining leather, platform, open toe, and buckle elements to make one lovely pair from Fall's must-haves. While this pair comes in black, we love the fresh look of silver hardware against the cloudy gray leather. Since the buckles give these booties some attitude, we recommend following the military trend while styling your ensemble. Some black leggings, a white tank, and olive military jacket will bring this look together. The trick is to let your boots and jacket do the talking.

Last, but certainly not least, we turn to Tory Burch for her expertise on combining trends. The Victor Oxford Wedge Bootie speaks for itself. This navy pair of lace up oxfords meets booties is a great wedge that you can pair with anything. We would style it with a knee-length, belted dress and a couple of equally stacked bangles.

Wedge or heel? How will you Fall for your bootie call?
