I did a poll this time, and 50 out of 102 people chose Boots! I decided to start announcing the themes two weeks in advance to give everyone more time to prepare.
Be sure to come back on September 1 and submit your post. It can be photos of yourself or someone else wearing boots, or any inspiring images you find, a review of a certain brand, a story, a movie review, artwork or anything (as long as it's about boots!). Just be sure to cite your source if borrowing photos or content that are not your own original work! :)
How It Works
On the first day of each month, I will post my theme post with the Mr. Linky sign-up form at the bottom. You can link to any post you’ve done that day or previously, as long as it matches the theme. Be sure to add the icon to your post, and link your post to mine using the
You can post your theme post earlier than the first of the month, or link to an old post, but you must add it to Mr. Linky on Day 1 of the month. You can’t post it after the first of the month, as I will close the Mr. Linky sign-up form on the second of each month so I don’t have to continue monitoring them for spam. :)
You don't have to participate every single month. Feel free to join in whenever you wish. Just be sure you get your post linked before the second day of the month!
Also, let’s keep the posts appropriate for all ages, in terms of both language and imagery. Thanks!! :)
Posts that are linked up without including the icon will be removed from Mr. Linky.
HTML for the icon: (The icon and the HTML will remain the same each month)

Please pass this invitation on to any bloggers you know who might be interested, and feel free to share the announcement on your blogs. Of course, it's a good idea to follow my blog to be sure you don't miss any of the themes. ;)
Questions? E-mail me!
Want to Suggest a Theme?
Leave a comment on any post at any time, or e-mail me. If I use your suggestion, I will credit you on my theme post for that month and in the theme announcement the week before. No promises that I will use every suggestion, because the themes have to be things that I would be able to do a post about.
Want to participate in the Monthly Theme? Here's how:
- Add the Monthly Theme icon to your blog post (copy the code below and paste into your post using the Edit HTML feature):
<a href="http://www.sophistiquenoir.com/search/label/Monthly%20Themes"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQ249TqTbcQqDIMNEFn4-i86sH_mCPygLy8joT6s5mRPOVlTNR98J9pLIzKwuhO6z5rTM-DSHBDax9ecdw0DTsO0yZR2PrUlCoOMVpQxHdOACZjKezy3z8A-S8fjktvIPftUD-6eXu4U/s1600/monthly-theme-icon.jpg" border="0"></a>
- Paste the URL to your post using the Mister Linky box at the bottom of my August 1 post.
Please use a direct link to your relevant post, NOT a link to your blog’s home page.
- Visit all of the other participants who have entered, and show them you appreciate their theme posts!

Squee!
I second Tenebris, SQUEE! I have a particular pair that I would love to feature -- bats and all!
So excited.
I think this theme is going to be the toughest if only because I have SO MANY boots! It's going to be tough to narrow it to one pair!
Tenebris, lol!
Mary, double lol! ;)
Luna, you could always follow Mary's lead and do a series, giving us a tour of your collection (as she did for the Hats theme). :) I am thinking of featuring two pairs in my post...
This just looks like a lot of fun!! Oh I do hope I get my boots in time so I can do a feature on those. If not... Theeen I guess I'll just have to wait for the next theme. :p
New back to school shoes: boots. The only boots I own are for snow and rain (though I may feature my rain boots since they look good with some of my dresses :D). Anyways, no boots means shoe shopping time! Squee to that!
BOOTZ! <3
Boots? Boots! :)
My vote was for "Purple" because I couldn't decide which boots I wanted to show y'all! ;)
Well, BOOTS is fantastic! :D I'm looking at a pair right now... But I have more... Hehe. ;)
The Fool, I hope you get them in time, too! If not, you can wear them along with whatever we feature in the next theme. :)
Arisa Gossamer, rain boots are allowed! :) But if you want an excuse to go shopping, that's awesome too!
Dr. Cult, lol!
Sal, rofl! You can show more than one pair if you want. :) I'll be doing one post with two different looks.
Oh, and Sal, just so you know - there WILL be a purple theme at some point, since that is my favorite color! :-D
Yippieh! :)
Purple theme? hehehe ... damn it woman! You just put Gogol Bordello's "Start Wearing Purple" in my head ... yet again. :D
I've got purple boots...! (Of course, most of my boots are black.)
My purple ones aren't terribly goth, but they can be pressed into service. Hmm.
BOOTS!
*excited*
The boots I am planning for this should be here in a week or two :)
Times like these I wish I had bought the Pennangalan Elevator Boots I've always wanted.
My camera broke last week. I really hope it is fixed in time. If not I'm going to have to break out my Polaroid.
Already started compiling a new playlist. Stoked to participate on this one.
Ooh I was hoping for lace but boots is awesome! Thigh high heels in gold snakeskin anyone? :) Excitement!
Mary, lol! Yes, purple! So you'd better get used to it. ;-D
Ru, looking forward to seeing what you do with the purple boots!!
Nosey Kittycat, yay! Looking forward to seeing them!
SiouxsieL, Polaroid would give it a nice vintage touch. Go for it! :)
Captain Morgan, hmmmm... I'm intrigued!!
pinsandpatience, do not fret... Lace will be coming up as a theme VERY soon! And wow - can't wait to see those boots!!
