Get Your Blue Suede Fix with Carvela's Navy Sustain Ankle Boots

We love that Debenhams already has quite the fall sales going on - and we really love that these leather ankle boots are currently on a 40% reduction.

This is the look of looks at the moment: even if you've already begun stocking up on winter (or spring) models, these have to make you rethink your current date night ensemble.

The Sustain might just be our favorite booties of the season, which is saying a lot as we are big on both the platform and the smart stiletto heel that seem to be everywhere.

In short, these ankle boots embody everything we love about modern shoe trends - we hope round toes, blocky platforms and stacked heels don't go anywhere next season. But for now we'll be feeding our addiction with Carvela's take on the ankle boot.

Stay Warm and Look Cool: UGG Australia's Tularosa Route Detachable

There are three different ways to sport the detachable sweater cuff on these mid-calf UGGs, but we fancy the fold down look best.

Of course, that cable-knit Merino wool cuff can travel in the opposite direction to keep our knees warm if need be.

And on days when we just want to be another UGG in the crowd, the cuff comes off to reveal the classic black leather boot the brand is known for.

We don't see how anyone could go through winter without a pair of these sheepskin lined boots - or why they would want to!

First Look: Cheryl Cole shoe designs for Stylistpick



"I have not felt this excited in a long time," Cheryl Cole gushes over her new collection for Stylistpick.

"I've been dreaming about shoes, millions of them, but I wanted the first initial six pairs, eight pairs to be everything I've ever dreamed of. My own color schemes, my own thoughts."

She's not the only one looking forward to the collection - and the UK style icon made sure to keep a range of consumers in mind when she created the line.

"I like glamour," she says, "but I'm aware that not everyone wants to wear a high heel all the time. I haven't gone too far down the glamour line."

It looks like this won't be it for Cheryl's career as a shoe designer: the "3 Words" singer is said to be in talks for another line, to be launched in February.

Sophisticated Comfort: Crocs' Wiona Flat Antique

This fall we're wandering around our flat in our favorite form-fitting Crocs: the Wiona Flat Antique ballet slippers.

Crocs have long been cushions of sorts for anyone suffering from foot ailments, and now we understand why: these flats are so light on our feet we wouldn't know they were there but for the massive comfort they provide.

These are far more than mere house slippers: the Wiona Flats meet our high standards for just about any practical outing - we've even been known to wear them to brunch a time or two.

The Latest from Fly London: The Lovax Mousse

Fly London is one of our go-to brand names when we want to update our look for whatever season.

This fall, the line's Lovax Mousse booties are making us salivate - we literally cannot wait to wear them, well, just about everywhere.

These ankle boots are a touch of the trendy to go along with the season's slim-fitting slacks and maybe (some version of) a classic cardigan.

We have our hearts set on the Lovax for a few reasons: the two-inch heel is the perfect height for a flurry of activities (work, school, play), the piping is fever pitch-perfect, and the overall look is one we've been after to add a dose of sharp style to our fall lookbook.

Boot up for Fall in the Converse Lady Outsider

Jacket weather always inspires us - there's nothing more fun than draping ourselves in fashionable fall layers. And the best part is, it's still warm enough to show them off on the street.

This year we're booting up with Converse - we think their new line of stacked heel leather boots will be the perfect companions for our fall adventures (and for our latest denim purchases).

Converse's Lady Outsider (the women's version of the popular Outsider boot) will give you the exact traction you need in this cooling weather, because no season (or wardrobe) should be without the requisite hint of classic Converse cool.

LeBron's Nike Kicks to Debut in China


The latest LeBron look from Nike is set to debut in China on October 1, followed by a Stateside release on October 15 - when a limited edition "Cannon" color scheme will hit retail shelves.

The red, black and white shoes feature LeBron's own logo and are set to be the second highest priced basketball kicks from Nike. The shoes will retail at $170 - which is $10 more than LeBron's last Nike collaboration and $5 less than a certain pair of Air Jordans.

LeBron's previous shoe from the company brought in $80 million in sales.
