It's Fall shoe time! As we (slowly) pack away our warm-weather wardrobe to make room for Fall jackets, pants, and dresses, we're taking inventory of our shoe artillery. Fall trends call upon textural booties, luxe loafers, velvet pumps, and rich jewel-toned colors, so instead of stressing out about which to buy, we gathered our top 25 pairs - from all price points - for you to shop. Here are our three important shoe-shopping tips:

Our Summer constants - denim cutoffs, white sundresses, and our favorite bikinis are getting styled in an unexpected way, and we love it.

Think lace-up ankle boots, edgy buckled styles, or slip-on booties to give long-loved wardrobe stables a fresh spin.

Battle of the Minidress and Bootie Outfit: Rhoda vs. Sevigny

Noria Morales — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 07:44:12 PDT

Mixing a feminine little dress with booties is one of our favorite Spring looks, and last night Hilary Rhoda and Chloe Sevigny wore the look with ease. Hilary paired a printed chiffon dress with suede booties and shoulder bag at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Last Night, while Chloe paired a white-lace minidress with black booties, her Chanel purse, and a denim jacket for the Chanel Tribeca Film Festival Artists dinner. Both girls looked great - but if you were going to a Tribeca Film Festival event, which look would you choose?

Kate displayed her classic feminine cool while walking in the California sunshine. Her cozy crewneck sweater balances out the floaty denim chambray skirt ($60), and while she chose black shades to protect her peeps, she goes for an altogether lighter feel in her soft booties ($350) and nude bag.

Trend Alert: Neutral Booties

Noria Morales — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 04:12:42 PDT

When Charlize Theron donned a neutral suede bootie with cropped cargos, we decided maybe it's time to stop wearing black shoes all the time. It looked fresh and light, just in time for Spring's warm weather, sheer, gauzy fabrics, and softer palette. These booties will go with everything, but they'll look killer with the season's short, flowy dresses. Check out our editor picks for five perfect neutral booties.

Trend Alert: Modern Cowboy Booties

Hannah Weil — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 07:00:05 PDT

The cowboy boot is a country classic, but the modern cowboy bootie is better suited for the city than the ranch, more punk than prairie. It's a cool twist on an old favorite; same pointed toe but a sleeker silhouette. Throw on with dresses, trousers, and a slick leather jacket - laid-back, rocker-cool cowgirl in the city.
