My favorite thing about fall is the boots!

Listen, I realize it has been fall for most of you people for weeks, and I should have probably started talking about fall fashion sooner. But, well, I have been crying myself to sleep every night in my air conditioning here in Florida, instead.
And then, this past weekend, the temperatures dipped just low enough for me to gaze longingly at my favorite knee high boots… and then to pull them out, pet them lovingly, and whisper “soon, my pretties, soon.”
This is totally normal behavior, by the way.
So, fine. Let’s talk about one of my two favorite things about fall that the rest of you have been enjoying forever.
Fall boots!!
Ladies, let’s shop.
Ballet Flats – A Fashion Staple

I adore ballet flats.
At present, I have seven pairs of ballet flats in various colors and styles and I can think of at least three more pairs I don’t own that I am lusting after. (I’m just trying to figure out where I’ll make room for them in my closet.)
I believe ballet flats are a footwear staple that every woman should have at least one pair of. Nina Garcia included ballet flats in her list of 100 things every woman should have in her closet. (Although, she also included a poncho in that list – but still. She was right about the ballet flats.)
There are two things I adore about ballet flats. One is that they are extremely comfortable. A cute shoe that can handle 6 hours of shopping is a treasure. The other thing I love about ballet flats is that they are one of the few closed toe shoes that don’t require socks – making them perfect for summer days when you’re in bad need of a pedicure. Yes, it happens. But no one has to know if you’ve got the perfect pair of ballet flats.
Or seven.

Sexy Summer Sandals – Help me choose!

I have a confession to make.
My summer shoe collection is woefully understocked. In fact, I own more flip flops than I do strappy sandals.
*hangs head in shame*
I don’t know how it happened. I believe in the power of high heels. During the winter time I live in stilettos and pumps and well heeled boots. I am the world’s loudest advocate for real shoes and shoes that make your legs look great. And the summer is when you can actually see the benefits of a great shoe with bare legs the most!
And yet, I have one pair of meh black sandals with a meh heel, a pair of canary yellow slides and a pair of turquoise slides. And these:
Splash Stiletto Sandals
Clearly, it’s time to go shoe shopping for some great sexy sandals for summer.
Comfortable Sandals That Aren’t Flip Flops: Clarks

Last Friday morning I pulled on running pants and a t-shirt and slipped on an old pair of Old Navy flip flops to run my daughter to day care.
“Mommy, why are you wearing flip flops?” my daughter asked.
“What do you mean?” I asked, wondering if she was going to suggest that slippers would be more fitting for the rest of my ensemble.
“Well, couldn’t you at least put on some real shoes?”
She’s four. And I couldn’t have been more proud. Even my four year old understands that leaving the house in flip flops is the epitome of laziness.
Enzo Angiolini shoes: comfortable high heels. Seriously.

Shoes: Enzo Angiolioni Magnify pumps
As a general rule of thumb, I couldn’t care less if my high heels are comfortable.
I have been known to wear shoes that give me blisters – even though they gave me blisters the last 10 times I wore them – simply because they are gorgeous.
When it comes to a great pair of high heels, comfort is last on the list of reasons to fall in love. I believe that if you look like a million bucks, there’s always more ibuprofen.
But some women are pussies. Seriously.
Some women insist on stomping around in flats and ignoring the transformative power that high heels have on every woman’s figure – simply because their feet hurt.
Nevermind that a pair of heels gives all women great legs even if you’re 50 lbs overweight. Nevermind that a pair of high heels makes even the flabbiest of asses look shapely and puts it back up where it’s supposed to be. (Yes, they do. Tina Turner legs and the backside of a 21 year old coed. Did you know that, crybaby pee pee pants?)
Oh, no. Some women trade hot legs and tight butts for mere comfort.
Ladies, you don’t have to choose between fashionable high heels and comfortable shoes anymore thanks to the genius of Enzo Angiolini.
enzo angiolini shoes - magnify pumps
These are my favorite pair of shoes. I got them last year from a friend of mine and was absolutely amazed at how comfortable they were. That is a 4 inch heel, my friends, and I can stand (and even walk!) in them for hours without even once having to chant the “mind over matter, beauty over pain” motto.
Enzo Angiolini Shoes are the chance for every women to benefit from high heels.
Even if you normally live in flip flops and sneakers (we’ll talk about that at a later date), you’ll be able to spend an evening in a pair of Enzo Angiolini shoes without crying.
Does it sounds like I’m begging? Weeping a little? I am. It kills me to know there are women out there who don’t own proper high heels – especially when there is an option like Enzo Angiolini that is affordable.
Oh yes. Did I forget to mention that? Enzo Angiolini shoes are not only some of the most comfortable high heels you’ll ever wear, they’re cheap. (And they’re a subdivision of Nine West so you know they’ll last forever, too.)
Hot. Cheap. And comfortable. You have no more excuses to neglect your legs and ass.
The pair I have is an older style and can be difficult to come by now. (I was able to find you a pair in a size 10 on EBay.) But there are plenty of new styles out with the same comfortable pedigree to.
My favorite shoes from the Enzo Angiolini line:
Enzo Angiolini Women’s Ailsa Flat $28.48 on Amazon
I’m not crazy about the little bow but I love that it’s a neutral, versatile shoe. Perfect if you don’t have a ton of high heels in your closet and need a pair that you can wear with anything.
Enzo Angiolini Women’s Grieta Mary Jane Pump $49.99 on Amazon.
Not all women like (or can pull off) a masculine looking shoe. I love these and think they would be great to wear to an office. Or with glasses. (Think hot librarian.)
Enzo Angiolini Give $54.95 on Amazon
Every woman should own at least one pair of red heels. They are almost as versatile as black and wickedly sexy. I wear mine with black (black dress, black pants, black skirt – whatever) or jeans and a white top. Red high heels are the fastest way to sexy without showing your boobs.
ENZO ANGIOLINI Tricks New Heels Pumps Brown Womens $40 on Amazon
Be still my heart. I’m wearing a flat version of these as I write this and I believe I will have a new favorite pair of Enzo Angiolini shoes just as soon as UPS can get these beautiful babies to me.
That gives you a good start. Please, for the love of all things holy and beautiful, get yourself a pair of comfortable high heels. You cannot go wrong with a pair of Enzo Angiolini shoes – even if you’ve sworn off high heels years ago, these will make you a believer.
