Babe is not a big lover of cold weather, but she's psyched to dust off her boot collection - and to augment it with her new favorite color, beige. Sure, it's got a reputation for being a bit bland, but she thinks tans and taupes are a fresh idea for winter footwear. Ragazzi Vegan carries the adorable Sandie booties (at right) for $50. These look like regular round-toe boots if you wear them with jeans, but pair them with a skirt and tights to show off their Victorian detail and lacing. Babe would work an equestrian look - navy blazer and tucked-in jeans - with a pair of Novacas Aurora boots, $120 at Moo Shoes (also in black and brown, if you must). Uggs, ugly as they may be, have become a staple in any girl's shoe closet. Alternative Outfitters offers a vegan fuzzy boot that looks just like the real thing for $48.
