The Look For Less: Pedro Garcia Suede Desert Booties
Desert boots and booties are among the season's best — and I've been craving a pair to start off Fall. So, when I spied these supple suede Pedro Garcia Dorice Booties ($198, originally $495), I thought the search was over. With a walkable low heel and lace-up look I love, I was ready to hit the register, till the pricey tag caught my attention . . .

Trend Alert: Desert Boots
Sarah Jessica Parker's mid-Winter look is so inspiring. While running errands in NYC, the new president of Halston donned an on-trend cozy sweater coat with white jeans, and her favorite Diane de Maria Bonnie bag. However, it was her desert boots that caught my attention. This mens-inspired boot is tougher than its oxford sister and adds a simultaneously rugged yet slick component to any outfit. Try it with jeans in the Winter like SJP, and with flirty floral frocks in the Summer.
