Frye Riding Boots

November 21st, 2009 Rhonda No comments

Frye Riding Boots are not only a classic boot but they are currently a popular style among boots trends this season. With all of the sky high heels and platforms, they are also a comfortable alternative to looking chic during Fall and Winter. Riding boots typically have a 1 inch or less heel, making them super comfy, yet stylish at the same time.

Here are some of the latest riding boot styles by Frye…

Frye Paige Tall Riding Boot Brown The Frye Paige Tall Riding Boot features a traditional, timeless silhouette with chic lines defined by a top stitched leather overlay on the front. Shown here in black, the Paige Riding Boot is also available in brown, dark brown, or tan.

Frye Paige Clovertab Cuff Riding Boot The Frye Paige Clovertab Cuff Riding Boot features vintage leather with prominent clovertab hardware laid across a suede insert.  Shown here in fawn, the Paige Clovertab Boot is also available in black or cognac.

Frye Melissa Tall Button Riding Boot The Frye Melissa Button Riding Boot features classic styling with buttons at the top of the shaft.   Shown here in fawn, the Melissa Button Boot is also available in cognac, dark brown, bordeaux, or black.

Frye Dorado Riding BootsThe Frye Dorado Riding Boots have buckle detailing and a 1 inch heel.   Shown here in black, the Dorado Riding Boots are also available in bordeaux, dark brown, or spice.

Frye Shirley Riding Boot The Frye Shirley Riding Boot has hand-antiqued leather and buckle detailing at the top of the shaft and ankle.  The top of the shaft can be folded down or worn straight up.  Shown here in red-brown, the Shirley Riding Boot is also available in dark grey, black, or bordeaux.

Established in 1863, the Frye Company is the oldest shoe company in America. This long history has given them a reputation for making finely crafted, fashionable boots using the finest leathers and quality hardware.

Frye Riding Boots range from $300 – $500, but they are a worthy investment because they will last for years, looking better as the leather ages. You’ll want to care properly for your investment by using saddle soap are a good leather conditioner. This will ensure that your riding boots look great for many years.

Riding boots are meant to be sleek and form fitting, so make sure that your riding boots fit snuggly against your leg. If you find your leather riding boots to fit a bit too snuggly around your leg, try taking them to a cobbler to have the leather stretched.

If you only have one pair of riding boots among your boot collection, black or brown boots will have the most versatility among your Fall and Winter wardrobe pieces. You can wear your riding boots with leggings or with pants tucked inside. They can also be worn with dresses or skirts. Be sure that the hem line is above the top of the boot and, for a polished look, wear tights in the same color as your boots to keep the lines of your outfit.

Navy Blue Boots For Fall/Winter

November 5th, 2009 Rhonda No comments

I’ve been drawn to navy blue boots ever since I spotted the Daria Boot by Donald J Pliner. Now I’m seeing many other brands with blue boots in their Fall/Winter collections.   Navy blue boots stand out because they are an unusual color for leather and not the usual black or brown shade that we see and wear so often. However, navy blue boots are more versatile than you would think because they go with so many things and they are a great way to add color to your Fall/Winter wardrobe. Wear them with neutrals, such as black, brown, camel, and grey or with complementary colors such as orange, blues, and yellows.

There are quite a few navy blue boots available now and in quite a few styles, including both knee high and ankle boots. Here are a few of my favorite navy blue boots…

Donald J Pliner - Daria (Denim Oilskin) - Footwear
Donald J Pliner Daria navy blue boots in denim oilskin
feature sexy lace up closure and a tractor platform sole.

Gabriella Rocha - Adair Wide Calf (Blue Leather) - Footwear
Gabriella Rocha Adair navy blue boots
feature gold buckle and studs as well as a very reasonable 3 inch heel.

Vince Camuto - Mikey (Varsity Blue) - Footwear
Vince Camuto Mikey in varsity blue
in the ever so popular ankle boot style. The
Vince Camuto Mikey
navy blue boots feature suede leather, rounded toe, stacked chunky heel, and an inside zipper closure.

Nine West - Halfpint (Dark Blue Suede) - Footwear
Nine West Halfpint dark blue
ankle boot features gorgeous suede and a low stacked heel at 2 inches. At less than $100.00, this is a very affordable option!

If you’ve decided to wear the western trend that is so popular now, here are some navy blue boots in western style…

Frye - Carson Pull On (Sapphire) - Footwear
Frye Carson pull on boot in sapphire
features classic Western detailing with supple, slouchy antiqued soft full-grain leather with a self-lining so it can be worn fashionably cuffed.

Navy boots are a great way complement and add color to Fall/Winter wardrobe pieces in neutral shades. For many, navy is just the right amount of color without being too bright. It can also be classic and looks nice with traditional Fall patterns, such as plaids or tweeds. If boots aren’t your style, try some navy pumps or mules.

Navy comes in many hues and can be difficult to match with a blue outfit. It can also look a bit too matchy-matchy if matching with an all blue outfit. I find navy looks best when paired with neutrals and complementary colors.

Cut Out Wedge Sandals

June 24th, 2009 Rhonda No comments


Shoes with cut out details in the heels are a trend that has been gaining popularity over the last few years.  These cut out designs can be seen in many shoe collections, from high-end designer shoes to their lower-end counterparts.  This season, there are some interesting variations among the cut out wedge designs we are seeing and they range from the extreme statement to the contemporary modern styles.

Below, Giuseppe Zanotti, puts a large cut out in the platform that spans the entire length of the shoe which gives quite a dramatic effect that appears to defy gravity.   Other designers, such as Italian designer, Enio Silla, of Le Silla has designed a shoe with a traditional stiletto heel and a cut out in the platformed front of the sole.

                  Beautiful Wooden Heel Sandals

                  May 22nd, 2009 Rhonda No comments

                  I love the appearance of wooden heel sandals.   There’s something about the natural grain of the wood underfoot, paired with a leather upper in the latest style, that makes wooden-heeled shoes so beautiful.   This season, there’s no shortage of wooden heel sandals to choose from as many designers have put wooden heels in their 2009 Spring and Summer collections.

                  Personally, I prefer to find shoes that have solid wood instead of stacked wooden heels (thin layers of wood glued together).  You will pay more for solid wood but the appearance of natural wood grain is well worth the beauty.  Also, keep in mind that if the entire sole is made of wood, this makes for a very hard surface and can have an impact on the comfort of the shoe.  Memories of my wooden clogs from the 70’s are coming back!   They looked great back then but they were not very comfortable by the end of the day. However, you’ll find that most designers today will add something to cushion the footbed of wooden-soled shoes.

                  For me, the more wood the better, so I usually look for platform or wedge sandals.  Here are a few of my favorite shoes with solid wood in the heels and platforms.
