The skinny stiletto has gone on a long walk for the fall 2012 season, replaced by chunky heels with a more masculine edge. Boots fall in two lengths — ankle length or thigh-high, leaving the mid-calf field all but bare. And black, unsurprisingly is big, but burgundy is a strong color for the season as seen on the runways for Tommy Hilfiger, Alexander Wang, Derek Lam and Diane von Furstenberg, among others.

While it’s coming up Spring on this balmy February 1st, I find myself thinking about our [mutual] friends in the Midwest. How cold it must be out there, hardly feeling any of the finer effects of global warming. So to you, bundlers of the cold Middle America, we are sympathetic to your dire need to wear suede boots lined with sheepskin. We dug around for some that aren’t, well, ugly. And gentlemen, know the shoes that Tom Brady swears will keep you foot-balls warm.

Shoes are trifle harder this season to navigate, with impending snow and rain and cold, and fine I’ll stop complaining. Point is, boots are put to a tougher test because of the awful conditions they face, so use the right shoes for the weather and let them last longer. Use this guide to help figure out your plan of attack on which shoes you’ll need this season.

Hunching forward like a slinky, easing tunes like an accordion, this boot is stunningly space age. Rick Owens just stepped it up with levels of layered jut that reshaped the shoe. But look at it from the front…

Yes gentleman, it’s that time we all dread: back to school season. To make the transition a little smoother we compiled a list of your must have accessories.

It’s raining, it’s pouring the fashion is generally bo-ring… American gentlemen have a tendency to dress ultra down when the weather goes sour and we’re really starting to notice. We turned to our friends across the pond at The Great Divide to pick up a thing or two that will keep our boys dapper and dry in the wet weather. Here we go.

In Sarah Burton‘s vision for Fall 2011 Alexander McQueen, one of the many components she nailed spot-on are the thigh-high open-front lace-up platform heeled boot. In gray. This evokes the “Icy Queen and Her Court” as she envisioned it, while also capturing exactly what we will most certainly be needing in roughly six months’ time. With the peekaboo sliver, I envisage a frenzy of patterned, textured, hued tights that won’t be lost under the many boots to which we’ve grown accustomed. Now just imagine the possibilities if you were to untie, fold and morph the leather, just for kicks. With that, this McQueen boot is a shoe-in for Autumn. In fact, I can already see Lady Gaga working these in my mind.

Last night Taylor Momsen and her band The Pretty Reckless played an amazing show at The Santos Party House here in New York City. Fashion Indie friend Tom Mendes was there taking great pictures of the band on and offstage.

Enough is enough already. I’m over it! I know it’s still only January, but seriously, more snow? Well, I’ll be damned if I’m getting me any more snow boots. I can taste Spring lurking ahead, so I want a shoe today that’s going to protect me in the snow AND take me through April showers.

Fake Ugg makers should be shaking in their pseudo-suede booties. Ugg Australia just released its anti-counterfeiting report, and the results are staggering.
