Spring is my favorite time of year not only for the warmer temperatures, but because it signals a much-needed change in my wardrobe. Where heavy coats and turtlenecks were once in rotation (or, let's be real, t-shirts and sweatpants), light layers and flowy dresses come out to play.
Even in light of this transitional time, I still find myself reaching for boots to pair with any and every outfit I put together! There's a perfect pair of spring boots for you, too, whether you like a Western-inspired look or a more practical walking boot.
Scroll on for the best of this season's spring boots to step out in utter style!
Nordstrom
Dingo Harlee Moto Boots
An easy way to transition moto boots from winter to spring is to snag 'em in a lighter color, as opposed to an all-black pair. These mid-calf boots from Dingo have all the classic details (that go with every outfit!), from the hooped harness to the top buckle.
Anthropologie
Frye Campus Boots
You can also never go wrong with this beloved boot from Frye. The light, banana-colored leather is quite literally the perfect hue for wearing with everything in your spring wardrobe!
Nordstrom
Madewell The Darcy Ankle Boots
If taller spring boots don't speak to your style (or your comfort levels), ankle boots are the way to go! This sleek, pointed pair comes in a handful of colors – for spring, opt for lighter shades, but if you're shopping for an all-season boot, black will never fail.
SeaVees
SeaVees Bolinas Off Shore Boots
These 100% waterproof natural rubber boots will come in super handy on rainy spring days! They're extremely easy to put on (thanks to the pull tabs) and walk in since they're fashioned with a memory foam footbed.
Tecovas
Tecovas The Cassie Boots
Western wear is one of my personal favorite fashion trends, so I will always support cowgirl-esque boots like these for any season – but these could look so stunning with a swingy spring dress! The sheen of these leather cuties ultimately make them more fashion-forward than your typical Western boot, plus they're comfy enough to wear on a night out.
Nordstrom
Dingo Anarchy Leather Booties
These adorable booties give the moto energy your spring 'fits are craving, all without the restriction of a traditional tall boot! While you could shop 'em in black, brown, or olive, this rustic red color might just be exactly what you need to infuse a bit of color into your spring looks.
Free People
Free People Hybrid Harness Boots
Okay, yes! These boots are downright dreamy. Not quite a full boot, they boast hints of clogs and loafers, too, offering a playful preppy look – just the energy we all need for the new season! I would style them with some socks, a mini skirt, and light sweater to step out on the town this spring.
Rothy's
Rothy's The Classic Boots
Rothy's boots are ideal for the commuter or just the comfy shoe-lover. Fashioned with a bespoke insole, they offer "unbelievable, cushion-like comfort" with every step. Plus, the material is made with a bit of stretch for added room. This leopard print pair would make the perfect statement shoe for springtime, though they also come in a few other solid colorways.
Urban Outfitters
Steve Madden Rocky Buckled Tall Boots
If your personal style leans more edgy, you're likely already in love with these buckled boots. Though they make a perfect match for baggy or cuffed jeans in the wintertime, you should totally show off the whole shoe for spring by wearing them with a mini skirt or dress!
Anthropologie
Matisse Sienna Western Boots
These Western boots are everything! The floral stitching recalls spring in the most stylish way, plus, thanks to the solid black colorway, you'll be able to pair them seamlessly with the rest of your wardrobe.
Urban Outfitters
Hunter Micah Lug Sole Rain Boots
It can be a real challenge to balance style and practicality when ti comes to spring boots. Luckily, with these Hunter boots, you don't have to sacrifice either. The lug sole and waterproof outer can easily tackle rainy terrain while the cushioned footbed ensures comfort along the way.

It's another week, so time to dive into another batch of horoscopes! I write these horoscopes, not to predict the future, but to highlight opportunities presented by the moving planets, helping us align our lives with our highest potential. We have free will, and each person can activate these energies in their own unique way. Still, your weekly horoscope can help be a guiding light for your day-to-day choices.
This week, we have the chance to take bold actions that align with our deepest desires. Reflect on what you truly want, how you wish to live, and summon the courage to pursue your dreams. It’s also a good time for honest self-evaluation — consider what has held you back and how you can overcome self-imposed limitations.
Scroll to see your weekly horoscope for March 2-9, 2025!
On March 2, Venus, the planet of love and values, goes retrograde until April 13. It begins in Aries, moves back into Pisces on March 29, and turns direct in Aries again on May 1. As the northern hemisphere inches toward spring, embrace Aries’ energy — the same force that allows tulips to break through frozen ground and flowers to bloom from dormant branches. Each morning, visualize the vitality of spring as motivation to step beyond your comfort zone.
On March 3, Mercury, the planet of communication and learning, follows Venus into Aries. We may find ourselves reacting impulsively, craving instant results. The best way to use this energy is to streamline communication — speak wisely, concisely, and clearly. Stay physically active to keep this fiery energy flowing in a positive direction. If frustration arises, take a walk, cool down, and then plan your next move.
With both Mercury and Venus in Aries, we can accomplish a great deal — just be sure to channel your energy wisely for the greatest good. On March 5, Mercury forms a sextile with Pluto, drawing us toward deep conversations, mysteries, and intellectual pursuits like psychology or astrology. This is a powerful time to combine intellect and intuition to gain insight into complex or perplexing issues.
This week’s planetary shifts encourage bold action, honest self-reflection, and meaningful communication. Tap into Aries’ dynamic energy to push past limitations and embrace new opportunities with confidence. Use this time wisely, and remember — your choices shape your destiny.

Pace yourself this week. You may feel drawn to retreat and recharge while also wanting to help others. Balance self-care with compassion — set boundaries to ensure you have enough energy for both.

The Lamb by Lucy Rose
Trigger warning: This book mentions cannibalism.
Margot doesn't remember a time when she and her mom didn't live isolated from society. She's grown used to quiet living in their cottage outside of the strange habit her mom keeps. She knows anyone who ventures off the road and happens to find their front door is enthusiastically ushered into false safety. Once their defenses are lowered, Margot's mom pounces on unsuspecting guests and has her own version of a feast. This goes on until a stranger named Eden comes into their lives and seems to enchant the hungry matriarch.
Unsure of how she feels about their lives together, Margot begins asking herself what it means to be a family and how she can break free so she can live life for herself.
