This has not been a very good year to be a girl in need of a new pair of tall black boots. Price tag aside, these would be a solid option, though.

Yves Saint Laurent mirrored-heel stretch leather 

knee boots, $2,295 at net-a-porter.

For old times'.

While you're there:

Pierre Hardy metallic leather patterned 

suede ankle boots, $1,595.

Everyone could use a little more Art Deco in their closet.

And (why quit while you're behind):

Christian Louboutin decoupata 

120 leather ankle boots, $1,295. 

Sort that color block trend.
