Fall 2011 Boots and Booties Trends from Harley-Davidson & More

Summer hasn't arrived yet, but thanks to all the fab Fall 2011 previews I've attended, Everything She Wants is already dreaming of the crisp, turning leaves of autumn.

What's made the biggest impression thus far are all the sassy leather boots and booties.  The equestrian, riding-style boot is still en vogue, as are lace-up Granny booties with a slight heel.  Following summer's lead, wedge boots and booties will also be a splash for fall.

A surprising standout was Harley-Davidson.  Turns out you don't have to ride a hog or be a Hell's Angel to rock a pair of sturdy and stylish leather Harley boots.  The biker brand wants to attract fashionistas and will do just that with their feminine fall boots, all priced nicely under $200.

  1. I cannot seem to locate the brown harley davidson boots pictured with the double buckle and high heel. They are not listed at the store website and the caption under the photo does not list the style name. How do I find these boots? Thanks. :)

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and...

Finding the right pair of jeans is one of the hardest shopping endeavors ever.  For me, flared styles tend to work best since I'm smaller in the waist and fuller in the hips.  But thanks to Eddie Bauer's new denim line -- which launches online and at Eddie Bauer stores everywhere Aug. 6 -- I've found a petite pair of straight jeans that fit my curves perfectly.   Eddie Bauer denim./Photo by Tracy E.
