THE daily chronicle SHOW

in preparation for the cooler weather here where i live, i have browsed and studied different fashion magazines with hopes to resuscitate my outdated fall/winter look. with too much catalogs at hand, i have found that i love and just recently developed a high obsession for flat or slouchy boots. they’re great paired with fall tunics and cashmere leggings. they’re also perfect tucked in skinny jeans topped with short jackets. they’re even lovely with short dresses and opaque stockings. the look options are endless and i have picked a few pairs that i’ve spotted online at bloomingdales. here are my choices that i have narrowed down from so many :

obviously, they all look comfortable enough and i love the suede look even with it’s high maintenance value. however, what do you all think? which one gets your vote?

i am still baffled with all the flowy chiffon dresses matched with leather studded accessories but i come to realize that over analyzing the hermes spring 2007 runway show brings one self to question our own taste level. so, i’d rather not judge it and just take it as it is. designer jean-paul gaultier continues to make this french luxury leather house a bit more young and hip and the end-result is just not quite there yet. i applaud the edgi-ness created with the shoulder birkin, the tiny kelly clutch and the kelly longue but the rest of the new bags are still debatable. what do you think?
