Last week, I rounded up a few of my favorite blanket scarves. Today, I’m talking about another fall essential: the bootie – not to be confused with the booty, which is something you can’t buy online (and if you can, you probably shouldn’t).

But I digress! There are plenty of styles to choose from, which makes it nearly impossible to narrow down to just a few. Here are some of my favorites:

Chunky Heels: If there’s one style that you buy this season, let it be a chunky heel. I just got these pair in black and could seriously walk around in them for days. I also love this style, which comes in everything from black to burgundy and these Rag & Bone ‘Newbury’ dupes for less than $100!

The Chelsea: Another great option if you’re going for comfort, but don’t want to sacrifice style. Chelsea boots have an elastic panel on the side, which makes them super easy to slip on. I usually throw mine on over faux leather leggings and a tunic sweater and call it a day. I love the gorgeous rich color of this pair and the sleeker design of this pair.

High Heels: High heeled booties will have you strutting your stuff in no time.  I mean, how could you not in a pair like this or this?

Snow Boots: I hate to break it to you, but winter is coming. If you’re a West Coast native turned East Coast transplant like me, you’re gonna want to do everything you can to keep your outer extremities warm. The Bean Boot is a classic choice, but there are some other solid options out there. Love this ruggedly cute boot (is that an oxymoron?) from Joie and the tweed/knit texture of these ones from Sam Edelman.

Fringe Details: Fringe. Is. Everywhere. I talked about it when I rounded up this fall’s handbag trends and now it’s back for the bootie (how many times can I say bootie in one post? …. bootie!). My fringe mantra is keep the detailing simple like this pair from Sam Edelman or this pair from Ann Taylor. Otherwise, you’ll end up looking like you those rotating scrubbing machines at a car wash (like so).

Rain Booties: This one doesn’t need much explanation. When it rained nonstop last week, I basically lived in my leopard rain booties. I’ll even wear them come winter when you’ll see me trudging through the slushy streets. Love these in bright red or with buckle details.
