Lace-Up Ankle Boots
Ankle Boots are a must-have for Fall and I must say I’m quite impressed with the latest arrivals of lace-up ankle boots. While some styles are focused on the latest trends (such as open-toes, studs, and clog-style adaptations), others are quite classic and can easily be worn for years to come.
Whether you choose a smooth or suede leather upper, a bold color or a neutral tone, an open-toe version or a clog-bottom style, I’m sure that you’ll find one or two styles of lace-up ankle boots that you love. They are a perfect transition shoe for Summer to Fall and are extremely versatile and fun to wear. Wear them with long leggings, skinny jeans, or an above the knee dress or skirt.
Here are our top picks for lace up ankle boots…

There are many ways to wear ankle boots. The most popular is with skinny leggings or jeans. Longer styles of jeans and leggings look better in my opinion, though I have seen a few people pulling off cropped versions with ankle boots.
Only skinny pants should be tucked inside ankle boots. Pants with wider legs will balloon out to much when tucked inside ankle boots. Instead, wear your wide-legged pants over your ankle boots. I find that ankle boots actually make for a comfortable and less bulky fit (than tall boots) when worn under wide-legged pants.
Skirts and dresses also look great with ankle boots. Go for lengths that are at least a few inches above the knee (or shorter). Avoid wearing ankle boots with mid-length skirts and bare legs. For a classic combination, you could also pair ankle boots with a long skirt.
Look great showing some leg with your ankle boots, especially while the weather is warm! As the weather gets cooler, you can wear them with tights or leggings for a polished and put-together look for Fall.

Contemporary Clogs: Our Top 10 Picks
When clogs made their comeback on the fashion scene this season, there was a lot of resistance. Images of the Dutch wooden clog (also known as Klompen), the rubber garden clog, and the retro 70s clogs with wood platforms were conjured up before we even began to see some of the attractive contemporary styles that were just on the horizon. While some of the clogs of today have kept with the tradition of rustic and wooden appeal, many are styled with other trendy features such as leather-covered platforms, cork platforms, slingback straps, buckles, contrast stitching, and laser cutouts on leather.
We’ve noticed that many wooden platform sandals are sometimes being classified as clogs and it seems the definition of clog has been broadened a bit. So, where do we draw the line between clog and sandal. Arbitrarily, I guess! That said, we’ve decided to feature our picks for wooden platform sandals/clogs in a separate, upcoming post and keep this post limited to the classic, contemporary clog.
The contemporary clogs of today are fun, unexpected, classic, and comfortable to wear. And, with so many shoe designers putting their own spin on the classic clog, they are hard to resist. Here are our top 10 picks for clogs this season!
Charles David Women’s Ramble Clog
daniblack – Swiss (Espresso Waxy Calf) – Footwear
Diane Von Furstenberg Ode Clog
KORS Michael Kors Claudia Clog
As you can see, clogs have come a long way. They are much more polished and put-together for today’s fashion scene. And ‘love em’ or ‘hate em’, they are here to stay through the Fall/Winter season. Clogs are not the only retro 70′s style to come back, platforms made their debut during the 60′s and 70′s and since then they’ve been all the rage in recent years.
Charlie Clog From Jeffrey Campbell
Jeffrey Campbell is fast becoming one of my favorite shoe designers for keeping his line innovative and exciting. My fav shoe from his latest collection is the Charlie clog. This clog has classic lines as you would expect from any traditional clog. The brass tack detailing very much reminds me of my old clogs from the 70s (if any of you are old enough to remember those). However, there are also some updated design features that make these clogs a show stopper today. The strap is convertible and can be worn behind the ankle for support as well as a unique style (see picture below). I also like that the strap is substantial and seems to fit in proportion with the overall style of the clog. The high wooden platform combined with the gorgeous leather make this clog a must-have. It’s no wonder these clogs are so popular and selling out. If you’ve been shopping for the recently sold out black clogs, they are back in supply. You can find the Charlie Clog in good supply at Jildor
in Black
or Tan
leather.

These clogs would transition well into Spring and could be worn with just about anything casual from dresses to jeans.
Jeffrey Campbell Shoes: Pacific Teal Blue Pumps
These pumps are, without a doubt, my favorite from the current Jeffrey Campbell Shoes collection this season. The Jeffrey Campbell Pacific Pump has a distressed vintage stained leather upper in a gorgeous shade of blue teal that reminds me of the ocean on a sunny day. The decorative ruffle atop the front and a ruffle collar at the back give this pretty blue pump a sweetly feminine appeal. These shoes are also have a comfortable 2-3/4 inch heel.
Jeffrey Campbell shoes are known for their fun and innovative footwear fashions. While the company is headquartered in Los Angeles, the shoes are manufactured in Spain. The line has a large selection of styles but these are typically produced in small quantities. This is why, if you find a Jeffrey Campbell shoe that you love, you should snatch them up it quickly! Some of their styles are only produced in quantities of 100! That’s right, it’s not a typo, only one hundred pairs of some styles for the entire world.
You will not find Jeffrey Campbell shoes at any of the larger online shoe stores like Zappos or Endless Shoes
. However, you can see the latest styles that have arrived at Jildor Shoes
. They currently carry a nice selection of some of the latest Jeffrey Campbell styles, including the Pacific Pump in teal or black.
