Slip Into Fall’s Hottest Shoe Trends
Via CollegeCandy.com:
So, it’s fall and besides the ho-hum return to class, this lovely season means nothing but greatness. And by greatness I mean new shoes!! There’s no better excuse than the approaching cold weather to stock up on the season’s hottest boots, heels and flats. So, for those of you with less time on your hands than I have, here’s a list of fall 09’s must-have kicks. Just click on those beauties to buy ‘em up.
OVER-THE-KNEE-BOOTS:
This show-stopping style is EVERYWHERE and comes in as many varieties as its shorter counterparts, appearing in every incarnation from leather to suede to exotic skins, and with heels ranging from sky-high to nonexistent.
EMBELLISHED FLATS:
A perfect transition from class to dinner to a party, these versatile shoes offer a more comfortable alternative to stilettos without sacrificing one bit of glamour. This year’s flats have a dramatic edge, covered in everything from studs to beads to jewels, and they add sparkle to every outfit, whether it be your favorite skinnies and boyfriend blazer or your slinkiest LBD.
CUTOUT BOOTIES
Last year’s basic booties and this summer’s cage heels and gladiators combine forces this season to create a truly amazing phenomenon–the cutout bootie! Perfect with leggings, or with tights and a minidress, these showstoppers make a dramatic statement without making you look like you’re strapped into snowshoes. The trick to finding the most flattering style is the cut–look for booties that dip down and expose your entire ankle (so more like “shooties”–shoes and booties, get it?) rather than covering it, so your legs are elongated and not cut off.

Degree 6 Clothing: Eco-Style for the Concious Human
You’ve seen these new eco-friendly fashion lines and products right? All promising that they’re saving the Red Woods and Polar Bears but we found a line that isn’t trying to save the world, they’re only trying to “produce the highest quality clothing possible while making conscious choices to minimize [the] impact to the planet.” Sounds pretty good to us! Degree 6 Clothing, is a sustainable apparel line for men, women and children that focuses on two of the world’s pressing environmental issues: water conservation and carbon emissions.
That’s why Degree 6 refuses to manufacture their T-shirts with cotton because of the excessive waste of water, and instead uses bamboo fabric, conserving almost 35 gallons of water in the process! Not to mention that dense bamboo forests absorb 35% more carbon monoxide than equivalent stands of trees. But other than materials, Degree 6 also uses recycled shipping materials and hybrid delivery vehicles. More than their eco-friendliness Degree 6 produces effortlessly sexy pieces, like the Bamboo Boyfriend T, $92, that has the slouchy, off-the shoulder neckline that you crave. Since Degree 6 Clothing is taking its steps to reduce their carbon footprint, the rest is up to you.
