LL Bean desert bootie

Primarily seen as a men's shoe staple the desert bootie has been heavily seen in women's collections in suede fabrications and a stacked heel.  Since it's still somewhat masculine make sure to pair it with feminine garb such as skirts or dresses to soften up the look.

With the weather getting more brisk I definitely intend on taking advantage of the last few weeks of dining al fresco in our tiny bricked backyard downtown.  Canopied by low hanging tree branches it creates the perfect fall atmosphere to spend evenings sipping heavy beers wrapped in fabulous fur coats from Topshop and sporting Coach riding boots with gold hardware.  Emmersonmade (my girl crush) offers the perfect first layer with nautical stripes and an absurdly large poppy flower pin to add a shock of color to the ensemble.
