steve madden graanie boot

since it seems retailers push the next big season earlier and earlier each year, I always wonder when we'll start seeing fall fashion in stores in, say, february. I mean, it's not even august and nordstrom is having a huge sale on all things fall. and as I was perusing the pottery barn kids website the other day, I noticed they already have a tab for...halloween?! really?

in any case, all this attention given to fall has worked, because I'm eyeing these lace-up booties from steve madden for $129.95. I love the color and that thick, stacked heel. plus, I rarely find a pair of lace-up boots I like (most remind me of hooker boots). the best part is, these would look adorable with a spring or summer dress, too.
