We're done with summer, for many reasons. Obviously, the unbearable heat is a start. We can't go outside! Our makeup is melting off. We can't look at another grilled burger or hot dog, all our friends are out of town, and the rainbows of maxi-dresses have become about as ubiquitous as the Pinkberry knock-offs on every corner.

Give us fall. Now, please.

For Arizonans, fall means many things: event season picks up, friends come back into town, and cooler temperatures (of about 90 degrees) are on the horizon. Best of all, fall fashion and style trends abound. Though we may need to wait to don chunky knits, leggings and blazers, we can enjoy some aspects of fall fashion with the bulk of the country- like fall shoes and boots! Mixing and matching dresses, shorts and skirts with boots is a completely doable way to get a jump on fall while remaining reasonable and respecting the current desert temps.

Check out our favorite pairs of fall boots- get em now, before the rest of the country scoops them up!

Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, $625
Not for the faint of heart, this suede multi-buckle wedge bootie has the ability to toughen up any little flowy dress or chiffon ruffled number you have lying around. Thanks to our mild winter climate and the booties cutouts, these tough little guys are a long-term, multi-season investment. Shopbop.

Chloe Over-The-Knee Boot, $1,195
Be still our beating hearts. Chloe's camel suede over-the-knees are worth whatever mortgage payments, groceries, tanks of gas and summer mini-breaks we'd have to skip to cover the bill. A gorgeous neutral, miniscule heel, 20" shaft and rounded heel can elevate any outfit to high-fashion stardom, and have elastic inserts at the top of the backs that make it possible to pull over pants. Nirvana in a shoe. Barneys.

Stitched Western Ankle Boot, $825
Serena Van Der Woodsen, is that you? This Giuseppe Zanotti bootie in a neutral taupe leather is an interesting replacement for the black booties you wore to death last year. Contrast stitching, a covered black heel and western-shaped ankle details add flair to an everyday shoe- show us an outfit these wouldn't look killer with. Barneys.

Coachella Above the Knee Boots, $525
We've always secretly wanted a pair of thigh-high boots like Julia Roberts' in Pretty Woman. Of course we refrained to keep from looking like streetwalkers, we just gravitate towards the scandalous nature of so much leather and leg on display. This Joie pair is a flat, "global citizen" version of your beloved pair, is available in black or brown and gives you that hint of danger while remaining appropriate. Shopbop.

Huarache Boot, $1,690
Though it may leave a funny tanline, Sigerson Morrison's Huarache Boot is fierc-ey McFierceinstein. At first glance it looks like a run-of-the-mill fall boot, but features cut-outs and is actually a chic update to the knee-high gladiators the Olsen twins made famous. A bonus for desert-dwellers: the aeration factor. Neiman Marcus.

Star Zip Ankle Booties with Pyramid Studs, $1,350
How much would you pay to have someone break-in and distress an incredibly soft, handmade, top-notch cowboy boot? This vintage-inspired pair is created with age-old techniques, resulting in an extremely intricate design with small variations from boot to boot. You'll have and wear these for decades. Shopbop.

Suede Wedge Bootie, $695
A beautiful camel suede bootie is hard to find! Dolce and Gabbana have us covered- and in the season's hottest wedge shape. The crescent toe and 4-inch+ heels elongate the leg and matches any little number you put them with. Neiman Marcus.

Motorcycle Boot, $890
Reminiscent of our favorite Doc Martens from a decade ago, Prada's black leather motorcycle boots with saffiano buckles feature zip-up sides and lug soles. We'd love these with skinny black pants or a mini-dress. If you're hard-core, toss 'em on before you hit the dusty trail on your Harley. Barneys.

Two Zip Boots, $1,175
If you yearn to wander through a forest like a hippie or gypsy, Sigerson Morrison has the tall suede moccasin boot for you. A naturey take on the tall fashionable fall boot, this camel pair has a stylish double-zip in the back and looks amazing with cutoffs and flowy peasant tops. As the temperature dips, zip them up over jeans and pair with a heavy knit shrug. Shopbop.

Pull-On Knee Boot, $995
If you love the look of tall, soft leather but feel like a murderer, Stella McCartney is your woman. A cruelty-free line, Stella only uses manmade materials and no-kill natural fibers. This microfiber boot makes a statement just like a leather boot would, with a synthetic sole and 16" shaft. Now we feel twice as good about these. Barneys.
