Give 'em the boot!

We are in a fall frenzy! It’s not just the cooler weather, fall festivals, and crispness in the air, but it’s also the chance to pull out our boots and pull on fall fashion.

This fall, we love:

• low-heeled knee-high boots for everyday wear . Our favorite looks combine them with jeggings and a big sweater, or skirts and tights.

• ankle boots help us add some sophistication to an outfit, and wedge booties are great for those of us who can’t seem to master heels, but like the height. We plan on wearing these with everything since they rock with dresses, leggings, and jeans.

• snow boots. Whether they are the ever-comfortable Uggs or sturdy après-ski boots, these should be waterproof, cozy and warm enough to sled to your heart's content!

A few boot do's & dont's to make sure your favorite pair stays wearable:

DO stay tucked. ? Eliminate the dreaded “pant pucker” that comes from pants sliding out of the top of your boot, or worse, wadded up inside your boot. Bootlegz? are a simple invention dreamed up by a college student, now business owner, who was determined to solve the pant pucker dilemma. Bootlegz are a very comfortable stretchy band to wrap around your pants so they securely stay in place. The Velcro band makes it easier to get on and off than the rubberband + sock tuck we’ve been using. ? Thanks for coming to our rescue, Bootlegz!

DO store boots properly. ? You will be extending their life indefinitely. Boot trees will keep the shape of the calves so that they don’t get wrinkled or crumpled. Pink boot trees anyone? We love? this pair? in hot pink (of course).

DO wipe down your leather boots with a damp, not wet, cloth and let them dry before you wear them again.

DON'T place leather boots near a heat vent (you don’t want them to dry out).

Love your boots, care for them, and they'll stay your favorites forever! Or at least until a new style catches your eye.

Fingernail Fun

We love all the new fingernail fashions – reverse French, nail bling, glitter, you name it! But sadly, we are not very good at doing intricate designs on our own nails so we needed solutions. To escape old-school nail polish for something glittery, show-stopping, and absolutely unique, we look for Minx Nails at a salon. Minx Nails prevent that inevitable nick on your nails that always appears just as you get outside the salon. They are applied by a manicurist and are instant dry, easy to remove, and non-damaging to nails, which is why they are a go-to choice for celebs like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, etc.... Minx Nails are so in-demand that designers use them in their runway shows because they are fast, fashionable, and foolproof. We may not be stars or designers, but count us as a fan too! Minx Nails, prices vary by salon.

The DIY version for glam-fab nails are Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. The box contains 16 strips that apply easily and there’s no waiting for them to dry. We were skeptical of their claim to last 10 days, but our nails really didn’t chip until the 10^th day – mind-blowing!? They come in extraordinarily cool colors and we hope that even more are on the way. Oh, the fun we can have with fingernails! Sally Hansen Salon Effects, $6, buy at drugstores.
