These genius boots barely need an introduction-in my case, at least, it was love at first sight. These Michael Kors Frannie boots are the hardest-working boots you'll ever own. With just a few zips, you can transform them from high boots to mid-calf boots, all the way down to ankle boots.

In versatile black suede and a flat sole, not only do they go with everything but you'll actually be able to walk in them-every day-from fall until spring. Phew. It must be tough being that perfect.

Oh yeah, and they're 40% off. Get a pair (or more like four) in your size before everyone else does.

FlickrIt's now an established fact that you ladies love ...

BOOTS.

But one question I've been getting all weekend long (and all last fall and winter as well) is what to do if you have wide calves. And often, it's not even the women who are ... ahem ... "not size two" asking this question -- it's the runners. And the dancers. And the bodybuilders.

(Okay, so I haven't heard from any bodybuilders, BUT I KNOW ONE OF YOU IS TOTALLY A BODYBUILDER. ADMIT IT.)

Anyway, oh-ye-with-wide-calves, if you have been bootless all these years, more's the pity. The fact is,there are PLENTY of boots on the market just for you, and they're no more expensive or hard to find (online, anyway) than ordinary boots.

Don't believe me?

I'll prove it...

First off, if you want to find boots to fit your calves, do a search for "wide shaft boots" or "wide calf boots" and you'll turn up plenty. Look for boots with at least a 16-inch circumference, and measure your calves

Updating your wardrobe for Fall without getting at least one new pair of jeans would be like having a PB sandwich without the J-fine, though just not the same. But with so much other exciting stuff to snap up, we thought you'd appreciate some wallet-friendly options. Enjoy!

Backpacks are back, and not just for the elementary school set. With designers like Alexander Wang sending backpacks down the runway, there's never been a better time to invest in a grown-up version. Light on the wallet (and the sore shoulders), these stylish options will make you fall in love with backpacks all over again:

Purse-like leather and antiqued hardware make Aqua's Beverly backpack the ideal choice for backpack first-timers.

Urban Outfitters' Ecote Canvas Backpack finds the perfect balance between rugged and urban in one of the season's hottest trends: military. Plus it's large enough to fit all your personal items and then some, so ditch those extra sacks and purses.

With fall right around the corner, our eyes have turned toward one of the season's biggest essentials-outerwear. But while a single coat or jacket can cost several hundred dollars, there is no need to spend that much to keep warm and in style this fall. These four fashionable picks will keep you bundled up for under $100 each!

Snag a Classic Trench Coat

Nothing says "fall" quite like a classic trench coat. This version ($100 at Macy's), from classic outerwear purveyor London Fog (who recently launched an ad campaign with Mad Men star Christina Hendricks), even features a removable zip-in lining, so you can customize your coat to the forecast.

Shop gorgeous tall boots for fall.


Go Mad for Plaid

When a shorter jacket is preferable to a long coat, try this plaid number by Tulle ($70 from ModCloth). We love it paired with a dark pair of trouser jeans and a killer pair of platform booties (another hot trend).
