NOW is the time!!! Buy your new favorite boots for under $100!!!

I don't know about you but I LIVE in my boots! I mean why not? Besides being super comfortable and warm, boots of all types can make any outfit chic and stylish.  Whether it's a tee shirt and jeans or a short dress during this time of year boots are my go to. My theory is that a girl can never have enough boots!  Depending on the look it may be an over the knee boot, riding boot or moto boot that's needed but let's face it all those boots can be pricey!  Lucky for us now is the perfect time to buy boots on SALE!!!

Now before you go pulling out your credit cards there are a few pieces of advice to follow when purchasing boots on sale. Buyers beware! Sale can either mean that the boots are on sale because they are duds (bad fabrication, uncomfortable, too pricey for the actual quality) or purely because there was an overstock (a.k.a.: the buyer bought too many of a super fabulous boot).  Follow these 3 EASY tips to find the STUDS v. duds:

1. Buy Online! Why? Simple. Buying your boots online allows you to take the time to compare sale prices on different sites.  If you find your next favorite boot go ahead and put your size in a shopping cart.  In another window open your browser and search the specific boots looking to make sure that no other site is offering it at a better sales price Don't forget to take into account shipping and a return policy! The site with the lower price might have higher shipping and no return policy so be sure to take into account!

2. Go faux? No! Take a look at the fabrication.  Synthetic boots will naturally have a lower beginning price point.  Therefore if you find a like style in synthetic for say $40 versus leather at $90 go for the leather.  You don't have to go faux on sale!  Why not? Overtime your leather will wear better and will resist scratches and scuffs slightly better than real leather.

3. Read the reviews! Prior to purchasing look at how many reviews does the boot have? How many stars?  Sure it may look super cute but if half of the reviews talk about how uncomfortable they find their new boot then it's time to look at other options!

Please also DON'T FORGET: when you receive the boot in the mail check to make sure they have not been worn (no marks on the sole or abnormal scuffs).   Take my advice and you can find new love in the forms of boots for the remainder of winter. Here are some great boots out there now for sale under $100!  Don't wait too long because they are sure to sell fast!

Fall Fashion Priorities Part 2: The Rise of the Peep Toe Bootie!

Fall Fashion Priorities: MUST HAVE investment items for your wardrobe.  Last time we talked about boots.  Another necessity is the pump however you may find an alternative this season in the PEEP TOE BOOTIE!

I absolutely love the peep toe bootie!  The "ankle boot" as some of you may call it is a refreshing alternative to our old friend: the closed toed pump.  Now don't get me wrong the closed toed heel is my go to in many occasions however I have found a new friend in my peep toe booties.  They are quite versatile and can be worn with a skinny jean, dress or skirt with and without tights.  They help to add a winter feel to a dress worn without leggings.  My favorite way to wear them is with a dress and some funky tights.  Above: Me in my black interior zip booties ($50 Forever 21) and tights ($10 Target).

Take a look at the ankle boots I HEART (the peep toe is key because it allows this shoe to be transitional):

Steve Madden Shande $110

Nine West Abi $99

Betsey Johnson Kareas $225

Aldo Haga $120

Steve Madden Millano $90

Vince Camuto Missie $139

Bebe Trista $149

Be adventurous and try the ankle boot!  If you are having separation anxiety from your closed toed pump please think about the following while purchasing:

1. Don't buy shoes that you can walk in however a TALLER heel is more flattering and slims the leg (I usually go with 5" but this has taken years of practice.  Start where you are comfortable.)
2. Stick with a ROUNDED toe.  A pointy toe will elongate your foot and make your size 7's look like 10's. Plus personally the round toe is much more comfortable for the toes.  BELIEVE ME...
3. The ankle bootie is a party on the foot all on its own so if you are going with the closed toed pump get exciting!  Find one with some extra detailing, patent, animal print...whatever your heart desires.
