While a lot of women have visions of tulips and crocuses dancing in their heads, patiently waiting for Spring so they can store their winter coats and break out their sandals and sundresses, true fashionistas have their eyes turned to Fall 2009. Now that Fashion Week has come and gone, it’s time to take stock of all the collections and make sense of the Fall 2009 trends.

And while you can spend hours scouting out all the fabulous runway shots on the web, fashion editors and bloggers will be happy to do the work for you with their forthcoming roundups of Fall 2009 trends. Of course, no two lists will be the same and when you try to consolidate them you could end up with a trend list that is…well, far too long to process.

That’s why I subscribe to one and only one Trend Report: my own sense of what I like and what I know works for me. When you choose clothes with confidence about your own body shape and your own aesthetic and then (and this is important!) wear those clothes with confidence, it really doesn’t matter if you are wearing the hottest trend.

We’ve all been in a room where a woman steals the show with her look and yet isn’t wearing any of the latest styles. And that my friends, is what defines style for me.

So for today’s VPOD I’ve selected a pair of smokin’ suede boots that caught my eye. I just love the color block effect and the sleek thunderbolt design. Of course, the heel and the toe may not be the latest and greatest for Fall 2009, but they’d still have me walking on air with a black skirt and a long cardigan.

They’re one pair of beautiful vintage boots for a vintage fashionista!
