    I've always wanted a pair, but something tells me that over knee boots were made for tall people. Hahaha

    xo, Michelle

    I'm glad to see them back for the fall. I'm loving the suede ones, I want a pair of gray or beige suede boots. Great picks CC!

    Ooh, the texture of the Burberry Prorsum is gorg! But I LOVE the color of the Chanel Resort 2011, Christian Dior, and Elie Tahari. I think the Christian Dior are my fave!! :)

    I do love a good boot, it is very hot here in London at the moment so will have to leave it for fall I think. There is a thin line between fashion chic and hooker ...but Gucci win it for me too. xxxx

    Over the knee boots ROCK! In French they are called Cuissardes which I love that they are given an actual name (its shorter)!

    I've missed you darling! Life has been hectic with travel and now I'm going to get to come home early so I'm excited for the change of pace!

    Just went to the YSL show in Paris and saw his thigh boots from the '70s. You could easily wear them now.

    I'm so happy with mines, they don't go too high, but they cover the knee, so.... :-)

    I'm not a snob in anyway, but I am a little bit over "lol" over-knee boots.
    However, if I would have to choose a pair... it would be VW Red Label. :) Maybe it's because I like the whole ensemble.

    Love your blog though. :))

    Hi Carrie,

    These boots are all fabulous, but I do think you have to be very tall to carry this look off.

    Happy weekend

    I love thigh highs, but every time I try on a pair..well I feel like a bit to slutty, but come on they rocked them in the 60's and 70's and looked fantastic!

    I love the brown Christian Dior ones, such a great color, especially since you usually see over the knee boots in mostly black.

    Haha, the over-the-knee duck boots are a little crazy--and I'm still trying to decide if its in a good way or a bad way. In general though, I'm also a huge fan of this trend. It makes the legs look fantastic!

    yay, yay, yay! I am so glad this trend is sticking around for another Fall season. I was pretty much obsessed last season. My boots are itching to come out and play. This season, I need to get some brown suede over-the-knee boots, too.
