jenny gumbertI have some friends that are very, very, very fond of boots. In terms of foot-wear, next to heels, boots seem to be the most fetishized. It’s not hard to see why; boots, though originally created to keep us dry and warm from the knee down and able to walk on rough-er terrain, these accessories have be-come so much more than functional. It’s almost astounding how many va-rieties of boots there are; playful ankle

boots, adorable wellies, athletic hik-ing boots, sexy thigh-highs...the list goes on. What type of boot will you be pulling on this fall? I’m enamoured with these versatile Martha boots by Novacas. I love the utilitarian aspect of getting two boots in one with the easy to attach piece that takes this ankle boot to a full equestrian-style riding boot.
