Who doesn’t love boots? They are delightful and the perfect winter accessory. They jazz up an outfit and make you feel so girly - yet a little bit rugged. There are two main types of boots - long and short. Today we are looking at the short or ankle boot. Ankle boots can come in a few different types cuffed (example the oh-so-popular Ugg), tapered (a more dressed look), booties (most with a fringe), and the slouchy boot.

The slouch boot looks especially trendy with your trousers/pants tucked - or with your straight leg jeans. Team these up a warm wool sweater, a scarf - and you could actually look forward to the cold winter weather.

Here are two of my favorites, from my new favorite shoe store Heels.com:

Diba Women's Darla Flat Boot

Diba womens flat boot. Slouchy, perfect with jeans and oh so pretty. Love this color. Extra points for the very cool laces - giving them that extra pizazz!

Bronx Women's Gitta Leather Boot

Black, Bronx boot. The name says it all. Kicky, a little tough and adorable all at the same time. I think your personality will pop & morp into cool as you slip into this style!
