If you’re looking for a new fall boot, consider a flat black leather to (or above) the knee style. My closest girlfriend and client, and I just got her the J.CREW Booker Boots in black (NB: the brown that looks great online, but it’s a bit orange in person). Without any hardware, they are totally chic and can be worn day and night. With two young kids, function is key. But for heel-die-hards, petite gals and fall 2011 ’70s trend lovers the Booker boots also come with a “mid-heel“. I haven’t bought myself a new pair yet, but I’m currently coveting Loeffler Randall’s Riley flat zip boot. I love an exposed gold zipper up the back. It pops against black, the perfect classic touch. Another client of mine wanted more value than splurge, she’s excitingly sporting ZARA’s Boot With Zipped Cap-Toe.
Wherever your life takes you, these boots were made for walking…
Buckled boots are everywhere. Whether tall, ankle, mid-calf or over-the-knee this added touch is a welcome style-detail. Malin wears her Fiorentini + Baker’s with black skinny jeans, Ray-ban wayfarers, white tee, black leather motorcycle jacket and Yarnz soft gray leopard scarf. Rocker-HOT.
Malin’s Yarnz leopard scarf provides stuff competition for attention against her bold buckled boots. It’s oversized style makes a statement without overpowering the look. There are several competing trends in this outfit (black skinnies, mega-hardware boots, animal print, and Wayfarers., but it works because the color palette is kept to black, white and soft gray. When wearing more than one trend, play it safe by keeping to one print and a monochromatic theme.
Born in Sweden, Malin moved to Canada with her family at age two. She went to North Toronto High School and might just be one of the hottest things to ever come out of Canada…
