Wardrobe Wish List: Michael Kors Frannie Boot
Via our friends at CollegeCandy.com:
Style can be really stressful, especially for someone that is so obsessed with fashion that I can’t walk a street without being drawn in by some supernatural force to pretty much every store I see. No matter how full my closet is, there is always a new trend coming out that makes it feel incomplete (and keeps my wish list a mile long).
So anything that takes a little stress out of fashion, I’m all about it.
Which is why I am in love with the new Frannie boot by Michael Kors.
Why, you ask?
Well it’s leather, it’s chic, it has an adorable fold over top. And, oh yeah, did I mention it’s four trends in one?
That’s right. This boot has three zippers, which allow you to instantly transform your boot from above the knee, to below-the-knee, to mid-calf, to ankle booties. Tell me that’s not the most genius thing you’ve heard in a while.
I can wear them as-is over skinny jeans, fold down the cuff for a more conservative right-below-the-knee look, zip off the top layer for a mid-caf boot that will fit nicely under a boot cut pant (because how annoying is it to have that bulkiness that makes it look like you have gigantour calves?), and then zip off the top two layers for a trendy ankle bootie that looks adorable with a mini dress and opaque tights.
It’s so perfect it makes my head hurt!
These boots are the answer to my fashion stress. Owning these means an end to my drooling/crying when I pass a shoe store with a window display full of ankle boots and I’m stuck wearing my knee-highs. I can simply zip off the top and instantly be on trend once again!
Too bad genius comes with a very steep price tag. As in, a month’s rent. Here’s hoping Target or my pal Steve Madden will get on board and bring me a little Michael Kors knock-off that is both fashion and wallet friendly.

Fashion Pulse Daily Gets Gifty at ModCloth
Check our our guest blog and holiday gift ideas from one of our all-time favorite e-tailers, ModCloth!
Leading up to the holidays, we’re asking a few of our favorite people to give advice on what to give this season. First up, the lovely Julia of Fashion Pulse Daily!
Here’s what she has to say about the items pictured above:
For the BFF: Paper Planes Neckace – “She’ll love it, and you have automatic borrowing rights, since you guys share everything anyways…”
For Mom : Pear-y Cute Bento Boxes – “She’ll appreciate a chic update from the semi-translucent and blue-lidded tupperware!”
For the Boyfriend’s Sister: The Treasure Tree Jewlery Stand – “Thoughtful and cool, yet it doesn’t impinge on her own personal style.”
For the Intern: Knot Your Average Bracelet – “Because she’s ‘knot your average’ intern – cool, quirky, and a little thank you for her hard work”
The “Oh, I Didn’t Expect You to Get Me Something” Backup Gift: With the Grain Coaster Set – “Definitely gives the appearance of a thoughtful gift – everyone could use more of these”
The Office Grab Bag: Happy Hedgehog Mouse Pad – “It’s gender-neutral, totally practical, a great price, and uber adorable.”
For Myself (Come on, I Deserve It!): A Stud-y in Chic Blazer – “I just can’t resist the sheen emanating from the lapels”
