4 Trendy Footwear For Winter

Just as you try out different costume wigs to change your looks sometimes, changing footwear every now and then can also mark a great difference in your overall personality.

Footwear changes with the season but how would you know what is in and what is out? Keep your eyes for the latest trends and then choose those that will suit you best. Winter is the time when you are covered up from head to toe but you do not have to look like a sack. Bring out the trendy woolens and encase your feet in these 4 trendy shoes.

• Riding Boots – Riding boots always leave you with a grungy feeling. Turn these boots into trendy footwear by opting for the black boots. These have minimal heel and you can wear them with jeans and also run errands without the least discomfort. Jean, a comfortable tee shirt and riding boots in black will make you look trendy. Cover your neck with a colorful scarf and top up the look with a suede or leather jacket. You will be the best-dressed woman around.

• Boots Over-the Knee – These are the sexiest boots available. If you already wear this type of boots, then perhaps you may already know how to draw attention to these boots. The way to do it to show off enough skin and the attention will be drawn to these boots. A sweater dress of green turtleneck, a hint of bare skin just above the boots and you will look sexy.

• Fur Wedges – These boots make you feel that it really is winter. Suede fur wedges with a shift dress will ensure that all eyes are on the chic girl in the room. Wherever you go, you will be the center of attention.

• Laced Up Boots – High-heeled boots with cuffed shots, tights and a blazer that sits well are the perfect match for these boots. They keep the military look without making you look like something out of the military academy. Wear this or find something that suits you more. There are a lot of deals that will go well with these boots.

These boots will keep your feet warm without making your look dowdy. Choosing the perfect ensemble is the key to subtly drawing attention to your trendy shoes. Go, flaunt them!

Winter Booties That Are Hot Right Now

Baby, it’s cold outside! Well, it’s not that cold if you live in Florida like me, hehe sorry had to rub it in, but let’s see which booties are hot right now for the winter season! I’m telling you, booties (which meet the ankle) and boots that meet about mid-calf, are super trendy right now! Knee-highs are out!

Furry Booties

Lose the knee high furry boots (those are so last year!) and shrink it down a little to the ankle or mid-calf, add some fur and lace, and you’ve got a cool, cozy hiker bootie!

The Lace-Up

Laces are hot! They can be rugged or trendy..check out these two styles below.

The Cowgirl Bootie

Cowgirl boots are hot right now but wear them as an ankle boot or else risk a knee high cowgirl boot and look like you just walked out of an old western movie…tacky!

The Fold-Over

Neat can get boring at times! The fold-over bootie with the tongue hanging loose looks cool, as if you didn’t have to try so hard to look so good. Leave the laces in a loose bow or untied for a more effortless look (as long as you can walk and don’t trip over them!)

The Chunky Platform

Lady Gaga-inspired, coming in cool leopard prints and solids, these are super fashion-forward and can be worn for day or night.

The Belted Bootie

Instead of lace, opt for a belted bootie! Double or triple belted make it even more trendy!

All of the booties seen here are from Steve Madden!

Hiker Booties are Hot

Too bad I moved to Florida (not complaining, really!) or else I’d buy me like 6 pairs of these adorable hiker booties. They’re so stylin for winter with some skinny jeans tucked in. Get these and more versions of the hiker bootie at Stevemadden.com.

Sneaker + Bootie = Snootie

A new term for the sneaker heel has been coined compliments of me and my lovely friend Sara. Last year we saw “sneaker heels” on the runway by DKNY and I couldn’t find a pair that was sold online or in the stores for the life of me. Now the almighty “snootie” (not to be confused with Snookie please!), is everywhere! Steve Madden has a variety of snooties for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2010 that come in autumn shades of neutrals and black.

If you haven’t realized it by now, the “snootie” is the combination of a sneaker and bootie. A bootie and boot are 2 different things. A boot is ususally calf-high, knee-high or thigh-high. A  bootie reaches just around or above the ankles. The “snootie” is an ankle boot that contains laces resembling a sneaker…part sneaker, part bootie. What will they come up with next?

Check out some of the snooties Steve Madden has to offer.

The “Biing” by Steve Madden.

This one I love because the grooves under the boot resemble that of a construction boot and the heel resembles a wedge, giving the impression of “I’m sexy and can fix things without the help of a man!”

Fall ’10 Trend Preview: The Mini Cowboy Boot

I was in the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD this past weekend, and while scoping the trends of the street, I noticed a few girls rockin’ little cowboy boots. They were like ankle boots; cowgirl style. They were both wearing them with jeans which will totally become a great trend for this coming Fall but for now, you can pair them with denim shorts. You won’t look as western as you would wearing knee-high cowboy boots so don’t be afraid to try this trend.

The boots below are from Steve Madden and come in cute colors such as black, white, or even red!
