Kourtney and Kim got together for a midday lunch date at a friend’s house. They then went their separate ways with Kourtney hitting a few stores to pick up a gift for a friend’s birthday party later that afternoon.

Kourtney Kardashian heads to a friend’s birthday party after going shopping and lunching with sister Kim in Beverly Hills, California on January 27, 2012

For that relatively low-key day, Kourtney Kardashian brought out her pair of Koolaburra Jaden stiletto biker boots which was first spotted on her sometime late last year. These 5-inch stiletto boots aren’t what most of us would choose to wear on a kickin’ it back day but for someone who’s used to wearing sky-high heels like Kourtney, these probably feel like fuzzy slippers to her.

Well, these boots are lined with soft and luxurious shearling so maybe they do have a bit of a fuzzy slipper-like feel to them.

Just a little bit though because as you can see, these biker boots look nothing like fuzzy slippers. In fact, they could even be considered as lookalikes of the Burberry shearling-lined buckled booties which as many of you may know, are only the most sought-after Burberry boots since the Fall 2010 collection.

Koolaburra Jaden stiletto biker boots, $494.95

Wish we could say that these boots are look-for-less versions of the Burberrys but at nearly $500, sadly, they are not. They do however currently qualify for a 15% discount at Shoebuy‘s once a year winter clearance sale. Shop for these boots at Shoebuy, use the coupon code “SAVE15” at checkout and you’ll get your 15% discount.

If you can wait until Saturday, you just might be able to score these boots at a higher discount because Shoebuy almost always holds a 20% off sale on the weekends!

We’ve featured so many different boot brands, spotted so many celebrities, and covered so many different boot styles. We’ve also observed plenty of boot trends, many of which came and went faster than you can say “fashion faux pas”.

Not all of them just whizzed past us though; there were some that proved their staying power and some that remained steadfast. Now that we have a comprehensive coverage of boots here on our blog, we can confidently point out the boots that stood out as classics, as timeless styles and as “here-to-stays” for us here on Boots4You.

Whatever the reigning trend may be, people always keep coming back to these boot styles on our blog. Clearly it’s because these are the boot styles that you’ll also keep coming back to if they were in your closet. You might as well present engagement rings to these boots because these are the ones that’ll stay with you forever, that’ll remain faithful and that’ll hold true.

Check ‘em out: here are the 5 boot styles that every woman should own:

1. The comfortable boot

Women define comfort differently and so it follows that the comfortable boot is different for each woman. It could be hiking boots for the outdoor gal, worn-in cowboy boots for the cowgirl, or ugg boots for, well, plenty of other women out there!

Why every woman should have a comfortable boot is pretty self-explanatory. This is also the boot that women should choose mainly for its comfort factor above everything else. No sacrificing just for the sake of fashion with this boot!

2. The ankle boot

Another boot every woman should own is an ankle boot. The ankle boot is the answer to when wearing tall boots is too much of a hassle or you just can’t be bothered with tucking your pants or jeans into your boots.

We’re loving the ankle boot even more now because wearing one is an easy way to adding some chicness to any outfit. Just check out Cameron Diaz at an Oscars party, Sienna Miller at a red carpet event, and Miranda Kerr on her way to a business meeting. Like these celebrities, choose an ankle boot depending on your lifestyle: a low square-heeled one for the working professionals or a platform bootie for those who can afford a bit more of a fashionable flair to their everyday wear.

3. The stiletto boot

The stiletto boot is a must-have because it’s the style that instantly adds a touch of elegance to an outfit while still keeping you warm and protected. We’re talking about the most popular style for the stiletto boot of course: something in a knee-high height with a tapered pointy toe.

But like with the other boot styles on this list, you can adjust this style according to your own preferences and personality. If it’s not elegance you’re aiming for, you can send whatever else message you want with a stiletto boot! Round toe, buckled, platform or thigh high — really, it’s your pick.

4. The flat boot

The flat boot you choose to be part of your wardrobe essentials should be able to pull all your looks together while still being comfortable. Not to be confused with the comfortable boot, the flat boot is what you wear out of the house after changing out of your comfortable boot!

You could be wearing a simple dress, cut-off shorts or an old pair of jeans but once you slip into your flat boots, you’d look instantly presentable, like you gave your outfit some effort and maybe even a little bit stylish.

We love a flat boot in leather and in a riding boot style. It’s a classic boot that’ll always be in fashion.

DV by Dolce Vita Zela boot, $85.13 to $169.99 (was $169.99) at Amazon

5. The showstopping boot

Last but not least, every woman should own a showstopping boot. It’s the Francesco Scognamiglio glittery and strappy thigh high boots for Jennifer Hudson, it’s the Giuseppe Zanotti diamante booties for Cassie Scerbo, and it’s the Alain Quilici Payson skate booties for Beyonce even though she just wore them on one of her regular working days!

This isn’t really a classic boot style but it’s one that women should own nevertheless.

What’s a showstopping boot for you? Something six inches high, something with an exquisite embroidery detail or something dripping in diamonds? For many, a showstopping boot could just be anything that has the Louboutin signature red sole!

Of course, another major reason why we’re featuring Vanessa Hudgens for today is because of these really cute furry grey ugg boots she was recently spotted wearing:

Thought she’d be the perfect feature for today since we here on Boots4You have also been away for a bit ourselves.

Of course, another major reason why we’re featuring Vanessa Hudgens for today is because of these really cute furry grey ugg boots she was recently spotted wearing:

Vanessa Hudgens heads back to her hotel after breakfasting with mom Gina and sister Stella at Snow City Cafe in Anchorage, Alaska on November 17, 2011

Vanessa Hudgens is wearing them a little too slouchy but they’re still really cute boots, aren’t they? It also looks like Vanessa has been opting to wear these boots a lot while she’s in Alaska because they’re starting to look really worn-in.

Very different from her BFF Ashley Tisdale who packed an extensive winter boot collection while she was filming “Hellcats” in Vancouver, Canada early this year!

Vanessa Hudgens’ warm-looking furry grey boots are these Australia Luxe Collective Nordic Angel boots:

Despite being expensively priced at $410.00, these boots are super popular and often sell out! You can find a few sizes of this grey color at Amazon and Endless. More colors and more sizes are available at Singer22 as well.

The first time we ever featured Kristin Cavallari here on Boots4You was just a couple of weeks ago. Now it seems she’s playing catching up real fast because here she is again in another gorgeous pair of boots from her apparently awesome fall boot collection:

The first time we ever featured Kristin Cavallari here on Boots4You was just a couple of weeks ago. Now it seems she’s playing catching up real fast because here she is again in another gorgeous pair of boots from her apparently awesome fall boot collection:

Kristin Cavallari with her Yorkshire Terrier Bardot in tow catches a flight out of LAX on November 1, 2011

We’ve been obsessing over these boots for quite some time now so we immediately knew that Kristin Cavallari’s boots are these Burberry shearling-lined platform ankle boots at the very first glance:

Burberry shearling-lined platform ankle boots, $1,095.00 (Sold out)

These boots are from the highly coveted and very much sought after Burberry Fall 2010 collection. These boots are all sold out now and even if you find a pair on eBay, they’d most likely still be selling at the same price or for even much, much more.

If you MUST have these boots, don’t fret — Burberry of course has a Fall 2011 version of this best-selling boot. The look is very much the same except a fur trim has been added along the top and patent leather details have been placed along the edges:

You can find the black color of this boot at Burberry. The khaki color is available at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Daniela Bianchi as Tatiana Romanova in From Russia With Love

‘Orient Express’ Lace-Up Bootie, $1,325, Charlotte Olympia

This lace-up bootie perfectly embodies the luxury ...Read more »]]> Some believe that the flair for dressing up takes talent and taste, a good eye for design, proportion and color. What they forget is that it can also be inspired by things we see, hear, even taste. Today, we racked up the boots lust list inspired by some of the most intriguing stories from theater and the silver screen.

Daniela Bianchi as Tatiana Romanova in From Russia With Love

‘Orient Express’ Lace-Up Bootie, $1,325, Charlotte Olympia

This lace-up bootie perfectly embodies the luxury train line mixed with vintage appeal, sex, and danger. One of the hottest Bond films of all time, From Russia With Love features the usual spray of action, romantic rendezvous and literally, killer heels. It culminates in an iconic scene with James Bond jumping onto a Venice-bound Orient Express service in Istanbul.

Idina Menzel as Elphaba in Wicked 

Green Lace-Up ‘Lydia’ Bootie, $915, Charlotte Olympia

Its green and girly, the patent leather bow and tassels seemingly symbols of young dreams. And at 5.5″ high, it absolutely defies gravity. How can we not think of the lovable Elphaba when we see this shoe? Move over ruby red slippers, there are new magical shoes in Oz.

Lara (Julie Christie) and Dr. Zhivago (Omar Sharif)

‘Pelle Royal’ Grey Suede Boots, $1,875, Sergio Rossi

Romance is always inspiring. Tragic love affairs even more so. These grey, fur-trimmed suede boots channel the cold of the Russian Revolution interspersed with romantic elements, just like Dr. Zhivago and his mistress Lara were caught in a passionate love at a dangerous time.

All featured boots are available on The Webster Miami.

The boots in UGG Collection use the same genuine shearling countless people have come to love about uggs, but what makes them special is they’re handcrafted in Italy using only the finest Italian leather and materials. ...Read more »]]> When I first saw these UGG Collection boots, I couldn’t believe that they were from UGG Australia. UGG Collection has to be an entirely different label, I thought to myself. But no, these boots really are from the same people who brought us “ugg-ly” boots.

The boots in UGG Collection use the same genuine shearling countless people have come to love about uggs, but what makes them special is they’re handcrafted in Italy using only the finest Italian leather and materials. I don’t think I need to mention that these boots are also designed to look more chic, stylish and, well, not anything like the uggs that we know. And with a $495 up to $1,195 price range, these boots clearly aren’t meant to be anything like its predecessors but are meant to be UGG Australia’s way to break into the high end market.

If this is the first time you’ll be seeing these boots and I hadn’t told you that these are by UGG Australia, would you believe that these boots are really uggs? Check out some of the UGG Collection boot styles from the first ever collection for fall:

UGG Collection Cavalieri, $995.00

UGG Collection Donata, $1,095.00

UGG Collection Aniela, $995.00

UGG Collection Giorgina, $650.00

UGG Collection Fiorentina, $1,095.00

UGG Collection Vittoria, $1,195.00

These boots are in the same price range as other luxury labels such as Christian Louboutin, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent and Jimmy Choo. If you had the money, would you spend it on a pair of boots from those luxury labels or from UGG?

You can check out the complete UGG Collection (which also includes handbags) at UGG Australia. You can also shop for UGG Collection at Zappos and Nordstrom.

She was decked in this head-to-toe Burberry Prorsum outfit which again reminded me of just how WINNING the past few Burberry collections have been:

She was decked in this head-to-toe Burberry Prorsum outfit which again reminded me of just how WINNING the past few Burberry collections have been:

Kaya Scodelario arrives at the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2012 presentation held during London Fashion Week at the Kensington Gardens in London, England on September 19, 2011

Remember the combination trench coat mania, the shearling aviator jacket craze and the mad shearling-lined platform ankle boot trend?

Well actually, you don’t have to think so far back because those pieces from 2010 are still as desired and as coveted today as they were before.

Burberry clearly knows this and feeds the the fashion fire with constant reinventions of their hot-to-have pieces. Their latest take on their platform ankle boot is this quilted triple buckled strap version seen on Kaya Scodelario:

Kaya Scodelario in Burberry quilted leather booties

They retained the platform front, the stiletto heel and the loose leg (designed to fit thick cold weather clothes). They took out the shearling lining, reduced the buckled straps and added a diamond quilted pattern but overall, the boot looks as desirable and as fierce as ever.

The Burberry quilted leather booties are $995.00 at Nordstrom. You can find the brown color listed at the same price at Zappos.

Considering that these Burberry boots are a hot ticket item, PLENTY of look-for-less versions are available online. Here are just 5 we found which are still based off of the Fall 2010 style but are still great lookalikes of the Burberry booties nonetheless:

1. Ash Enigma cuffable shearling buckle booties, $375.00 at Neiman Marcus
2. ALDO Straugter faux fur-lined buckle booties, $40.00 (was $80.00) at Amazon
3. Call it Spring Deppert faux fur-lined faux leather buckle booties, $69.99 at Zappos
4. Faux fur and leather buckled strap platform booties, $31.99 at Amiclubwear
5. Michael Antonio Manny buckled booties, $99.00 at Zappos

Although one thing the boots above frustratingly don’t have is the loose leg design. So even though these Joie boots don’t have the platform sole or the multiple buckles, they should still be added to the look-for-less list because they’re the ones that are actually closest to the proportions of the Burberry booties:

These Joie boots are $217.25 (down from $395.00) at Endless.

Hilary Duff’s Chanel brown leather boots caught our eye yesterday and today, it’s older sister Haylie Duff’s be-fringed brown boots:

Hilary Duff’s Chanel brown leather boots caught our eye yesterday and today, it’s older sister Haylie Duff’s be-fringed brown boots:

Haylie Duff leaves after a shopping spree at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills, California on August 18, 2011

Haylie Duff was spotted wearing these boots while shopping at Barneys in Beverly Hills with Ashley Tisdale yesterday afternoon. It seems like Haylie Duff has picked up some fashion pointers from Ashley T. because her boots look like something Ashley herself would wear too!

In fact, Ashley HAS worn boots like these, except they’re taller, have more fringes and don’t have the wedge heel.

Wait — you say you didn’t notice the wedge heel? That’s because it’s being covered by the fringes. Here it is up close:

Seeing as how Ashley Tisdale owns a very similar pair of boots, it was pretty easy to identify these. Haylie Duff’s boots are these Koolaburra Savannity boots which feature a 2 1/4″ wedge heel and a two-layer fringe detail:

Koolaburra Savannity boots in chestnut

I’m actually not a big fan of ugg boots with wedge heels but I guess these ones are okay because the fringe covers them anyway.

Plenty of e-tailers carry Koolaburra boots but we recommend you shop for these Koolaburra Savannity boots at Shoebuy. With our sister site YourNextShoes‘ special coupon code “YOURNEXTSHOES“ you can get $30 off on these $299.95 boots, which is a nice 10% discount on your purchase.

Other places that have these boots on sale now are Endless and DNA Footwear. No word until when they’re going to hold their sales but better not hold off on buying these too long — colors are already limited and sizes are going fast!
