In the Mid West, the weather has more mood swings then a woman pregnant for the first time. One day you will be wearing short sleeves and shorts. The next day you could be wearing layers under a winter coat with jeans and leather boots. Either ways, the leaves on the trees have completely changed colors and every day is considered visually pleasing.
After this weekend, I have a feeling the winter-coat-weather is going to stick. You could walk through a little boutique or down the sidewalk and see women in an assortment of different boots. Tall, tan leather boots have become in-style recently in the Mid West. Though about a year ago in New York City, my best friend attending NYU started wearing them. That’s how it works here.
The best part about boots is that there isn’t just one type. Uggs are perfect for the cozy look with long flannel top, just make sure you are wearing them for function and not to make a fashion statement. Black Leather or suede flat boots are perfect for that classic jeans and all black-everything-else look. The black buckled heel-boots that just cover the ankle is perfect with a dress or a skirt. Last, but, not least, you can’t rule out the leather heel-boots that rise up to your knees. These are perfect for when your trying to add a little sophisticated flair to you're look.

The Desert Boot as gained popularity in the men’s fashion world. Not only has the boot made a statement through celebrities and their fashion but by everyday people. Nathan Clark, the creator of the fashion accessory has passed away at 94 years old. Clark who died on June 23rd, created these lace of ankle boot. The boot got its name, Desert Boot because they were worn by desert fighters in Burma during World War II. Those in Britain did not immediately like the suede material and crepe sole of the boot. However, in America, the boots were loved. What really made these Desert Boots notable was the fact there was a lack of maintenance. Labels such s J.Crew, Dior, Opening Ceremony and TOPMAN have interpreted the Desert Boots. Clark is the great-grandson of the founder of Clarks, a brand that sells women and men’s shoes.

Anyone who knows me or has even passed by me on the street could probably tell you that I do not do the outdoorsy thing. Not only do I not do the outdoorsy thing, but I won’t even lie in a hammock under a tree because I don’t like nature falling on me. I don’t enjoy sitting in the grass and though I have since gotten over it, when I was a baby, my mom had to take me to the beach wearing socks and shoes because I didn’t want my feet to touch the sand. Nevertheless, I am super excited about this fall season’s camping inspired gear. I am currently digging these Belle by Sigerson Morrison Suede Lace-Up Ankle Boots. They kind of remind me of those high heeled Timberland boots that (to my complete bewilderment) were popular a few years back. To be clear, this incarnation is way more fierce, and while I may purchase a pair I will not under any circumstances go hiking.
