I am not a cold weather person. If I had it my way, the temperature would never drop below 65 degrees. However, if I have to contend with chillier climes, I will take my pleasure where I can. And during the winter, I take all of that pleasure in boots. Not only do boots get you where you want to go in convenience and comfort, but they are also a commuters dream come true.

This season in particular seems to have a larger than normal myriad of lovely boots available, in a wide range of shapes, styles and colors. Whether you are an uptown princess, or a rugged gypset, there is a boot currently on the market for you. The following are a few of my personal favorites…

1. Fiorentini + Baker Nylon Boot: If the devil is in the details, then there is a veritable hell in those buttons. They like make some OCD part of myself convulse in delight at the mere thought of buttoning them up.

2. Frye Deborah Studded Boot: Motivation for these shoes: take a pixie, move it to Texas, then beat the hell out of it. These are that pixie’s shoes.

3. Mario Bologna Boot: These shoes are so structurally gorgeous, it just makes me want to scream – the metal pin-heels, the back-drop of the shaft, the vertical ribbon…it’s like I’ve died and gone to “hot shoe” heaven.

4. Juicy Couture Walker Motorcycle Boot: In terms of an all-around “rough and tumble” boot, you can’t beat this pair by Juicy. They would be cool and casual with a pair of jeans, or a tough touch to a pretty dress. The fact that they look comfy as hell doesn’t hurt, either.

5. Coclico Ndakinna Boot: A black, short boot is an essential staple of any wardrobe, in my humble opinion. This pair by Coclico is not offers a playful take with it’s toe-overlapping leather detail, but also merges the traditional wooden clog into its heel design. Wizard.

In honor of this weekend’s Gay Pride Parade in NYC (which marked the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots), I am doing a rainbow-themed My Daily Covet this week. The LGBT community has come a long way from those less accepting times, and still has even farther to go.
