Booties Go Boyish With Suede Desert Boots For Fall! (thefind Guest Post)
From our friends at thefind:
If you’ve been a fan of the casual-yet-chic desert boot trend — more western and slightly edgier than the oxford styles, but with that same boyish charm — or even if you weren’t quite sold by the flat takes on the style, you may find a new obsession in this season’s heeled versions! Without sacrificing the desert boot’s laid-back feel that makes it so popular, these takes on the trend give the style a sophisticated update, while the added height makes the original low-key look significantly more strut-worthy while still keeping its comfort. Additionally, the suede finish makes the look a little more luxe, and somehow just manages to automatically scream ‘Fall!’ If you’re not afraid of height or a nice chunky wedge, take a look at Tory Burch’s ‘Denise’ wedge , but if you want the height without the blocky look, consider these Steve Madden lace-up Taara boots! For a more classic desert style, try Madewell’s Suede Sandstorm Boot in a fall-festive shade like “Flint” or play it safe and stick with black like these ‘Kallin’ boots from Aldo for a pair that will carry you through the winter!

I recently took a gander at the Not Your Daughter’s Jeans offerings for fall, as well as a sneak peek at holiday and resort for 2011. The brand takes a huge fashion-forward leap and expands its lifestyle offerings with colored denim, skinny leggings, wide leg, flare styles, and wear-to-work dress pants. My absolute favorite (and the pair I took home with me, compliments of NYDJ) are these brilliant Alisha Skinny in Fine Line Twill in Crimson Red, $104. In honor of NYDJ launching e-commerce at NYDJ.com, we are doing a giveaway — THE WINNER WILL GET TO SELECT ANY PAIR FROM THE SITE! Choose from the array of jeans, skirts, and pants, in regular, petite, or plus sizes. The new NYDJ.com provides free shipping and exchanges on every order, btw.
