The search starts now: Boots

It's perhaps a sad statement about the not-living-in-the-momentness of our culture that as soon as summer really hits (and, even worse, after we complained about its late arrival. Um, a zillion times), we immediately start thinking about fall clothes and accessories. But, whatever man. Fall fashion is super fun and cozy and sexy and July is the time when I start hunting for my favorite cool-weather item: Boots. Currently I'm on a mission to find the near exact look that Molly Ringwald rocked in the Breakfast Club. I know, I know, so cliche--many of us have had the Claire Standish vision before--but this time, it's SERIOUS. These boots have been eluding me for years (decades?) and, this year, I must find and wear them with slim skirts and silky pale tops and a leather jacket or I may die. So far, no dice. However, if this near perfect pair is your size, please, please, for the love of all things '80s, Brat Pack and holy, purchase them now.
