Ms. New Bootie

DKNY

As they reappear season after season, boots are perennial staples in our closets — most notably, fall's favorite footwear. The wedge ankle boot, a popular member of the boot family, is known for its simplicity and distinct silhouette. Designers are constantly drumming up ways to recreate the look of this footwear icon. So, it's no surprise that the beloved bootie graced the runway in fall 2011 collections with revamped style.

Check out ten of this season's fresh interpretations after the jump...

Sheer & Striking Shirtdresses

Smart collars and button-down shirts aren't just for the boys. A favored classic trend, the oversized boyfriend shirt, has returned — with a twist. With a perfect blend of the masculine and feminine, shirtdresses are both classic and sexy.

An inventive way to wear this weathered fashion style is with sheer and delicate fabrics. For a demure look, Salvatore Ferragamo offers a comfortable and airy shirtdress. For a more romantic take on the trend, try the Chloé silk python shirtdress, which is perfect for a night out.

Spring's Chicest Sack

Michael Kors Rattan and Leather Box Clutch at Net-a-porter

Peel open the ambrosial pages of any reputable fashion rag and you'll spot the same spring accessory, over and over again: the day clutch. Unlike its sleek and sparkly evening counterpart, the day clutch adds subtle structure to a designer jean and blouse combo. It's the perfect way to add sophistication to a beachy maxi dress and if played right, it can transition to a casual evening out. Opt for a casual woven clutch to add a bohemian flavor or a matte, melon colored leather.

The classic camel coat

It's that time of year again! With the bitter chill of winter upon us, we mourn the loss of the suns hot rays by wearing those mundane coats. We're all guilty. I know you own that dark (usually black) colored coat that sits in the closet until you feel that big gust of wind telling us it's time to bundle up. Luckily, the runways this season are saving us from the bitterness, as camel colored coats are a must have this season. Just like the color black, camel goes with everything you wear, not to mention it adds a little flair to you day. From blonde, caramel, and burnt toffee - there are a plethora of colors to choose from for any occasion, whether you're heading to work or going out to get the groceries. As a timeless piece, designers like Alexander Wang and Chloe have featured camel coats on their runway, but you don't have to spend an arm and a leg - H&M and the Gap have wonderful camel coats just under $70. Throw one on with long legged trousers and flats to keep it professional or you could make a statement by wearing skinny jeans and black knee high boots. No matter how you dress it, the camel coat is the hottest trend for the season and definitely on top of my Christmas list.
