Even though it's July, boot lust is upon us. Which boots to buy for fall? It's complicated. If you wait to compare and contrast a full selection of boots -- say, in September -- then you are sure to have so say buh bye to one of your favorites because they are no longer in stock.

Fashion is so difficult.

We're loving these lovelies from Charlie My Love because they combine a lot of trends in one fashionable package, so you kill three birds with one stone, so to speak. They are over the knee length, which is key. However, they can be slouchy as well. And finally they have essential rocker treatment -- but not too much -- in the form of studded strap detail. A trifecta.
