s/o Fall Trends & Boots
I've been searching Zappos for boots.
What do you think of Madden Girl Boots?

And Aldo Horkey?

They're obviously two completely different looks but I think I like them both. I really like the first pair and I feel like they would get more use.

Re: s/o Fall Trends & Boots
I actually like both of those. I have something really similar in shape to the first pair.
Just a tip that I've learned since getting into boots a few years ago... the most flattering I've found are a little higher than those - about just under the knee - with a little bit of a heel. A thick one and not enough to make them uncomfortable, but enough to give me a little height.
I have a pair similar to this that I wear all winter and they're extremely versatile:
Anything lower (in heel or in how high up my leg) makes me personally look stumpy. I still wear them.
They're just not as flattering on me.
ITA with this. Definitely just below the knee are the most flattering.
I'm currently crushing on this pair from Target:

Love the first one, hate the second. Hardly anyone can pull of that height and not look stumpy.
I have huge calves too so it takes me forever to find boots. Right now I only have two pair that go up to just below knee for that reason.
Oooh...that's a cheaper version (much cheaper) of one of the Frye boots I was drooling over. That's a great alternative.
I think Zappos has a wide calf search option.
I'm down for Foley.
