Today’s gift guide was done by Fashion Director, Samantha Lim. She decided to focus on on what to get her boyfriend this year. The only problem is that she doesn’t have one.

These are currently going into my must buy list for fall. I’ve been in desperate need for a pair of fold down, army style boots with a softer sole to allow for my regular death marches through Manhattan (I’m known for hitting 90th to Soho ever so often). Get them at 80sPurple.com.

Desert boots made their way into mainstream fashion, so boys, it’s time to change it up with the footwear choices! With a similar, natural vibe, these gorgeous distressed beige suede boots from H by Hudson are a much more stylish alternative to the atypical desert boots. With a leather panel on the back and inside zippers, H by Hudson makes these boots equally fashionable as they are practical and comfortable.

This Fall one of the hottest trends is a solid high leather boot. They are easy to wear with just about anything, and they are a great way to kill that stupid rain boot trend that Marc Jacobs was so content on sparking. Now I will say that with this much leather involved, unless you strike vintage store gold, it’s going to be hard to find a pair for less than $200. However $200 is not bad when you think about it. You are making an investment here. If you buy a pair of fairly standard boots they should last you years, and they tend to be rather timeless. Here are a few of my favorites, from the cheaper to the more expensive.
Heutchy Black Leather and Canvas Boot. Available at Oak ($488)
H By Hudson Kaiser Boot. Available at Oak ($332)
Barney's Leather Round Toe Boot. Available at Barney's ($250)
Frye Brando Lace-Up Boot. Available at Urban Outfitter Online ($260)
Bed Stu Fort Boot. Available at Urban Outfitters Online ($220)
Like I said, don’t get discouraged from looking for cheaper. Thrift stores and vintage shops are great places to find good boots, but for those of you who have a money tree in your backyard or just don’t have the time to look all over the city for a pair, check out what the Internet has to offer.
Thanks to Barney’s, Oak and Urban Outfitters for the images.
