The leaves are falling, temperatures are dropping, Starbucks red cups are out in full-force--all signaling that my favorite fashion season has arrived-Fall/Winter! And what are the fall/winter wardrobe essentials? Well: sweaters, leggings, scarves, and of course...boots, boots, and more fabulous boots! I have been loving fridge accessories for this fall, so I will definitely be wanting some fringe on my footsies. One of my favorite versions of the fridge shoe is made by none other than Gucci, the label that's well-known for their sexy show-offy aesthetic. Although these Gucci boots are from last season's Fall/Winter '08 RTW collection, I am still dying over them, annndd they're still on trend, so yay! Gucci's flat leather riding boots with flying leather tassels are so luxuriously rock chic. Elle Macpherson loves her Gucci devendra mid-heel boots..she's been spotted on numerous occasions mixing up her outfits, always incorporating fierce statement boots...and in the words of Tim Gunn, she's definitely making it work! The boots are also over the knee, and we all know that OTK boots are spot on for this season.
