What better than a fashionably French story by Alexandre Dumas? Crazy how those trends keep coming back. Don't throw anything away!!!!!Well, we've come a long way since 1844. 2009's version is quite diverse.
These gorgeous Botkier's long-cuffed Xenia boots are a far cry from the 1800's, especially with the hit of fuchsia (there's that neon trend I talked about several weeks ago).

Here are a few simpler, not so expensive versions -
understandable fold, straight hem, wearable color and heel:
Frye Harness Boot with Cuff $218
Very wearable Elizabeth & James
Tall Cuffed Boot $395

Adorable short boot from Rosegold $225
Bringing the cuff to a luxurious yet practical boot? How about these warm Shearling boots from Burberry - at $595 a bit costlier than Uggs, but they are gorgeous!!

Cuffed Boots ... ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL!!!!
