We are currently in Fall and Winter is approaching us. There is no better way than to celebrate the drastic weather change than by purchasing fabulous looking boots. I live in Florida and I love boots. It’s never cold here, so whenever I get a chance to wear boots I take advantage of it to the fullest.

Obviously, in drastic weather like snow you need a good pair of leather boots to make sure you don’t ruin them too quickly. Sometimes, it is fun just to buy boots for fashion purposes. The Balmain Black Satin Half Boots are not ideal for snow or harsh weather, but they sure are pretty! To strut around in these, with a fabulous outfit down 5th avenue in New York would be a dream!

What I like the most about these is that they channel 20′s style fashion, which happens to be my favorite fashion era. Fashion then was so sophisticated and classy and to see designers bringing that back in little bits and pieces is amazing to see. The side fern buttons featured on this boot is definitely something you would see in the 20′s on numerous amounts of shoes.

I love boots and I know my heart loves these.

You can purchase the Balmain Black Satin Half Boots at Style Bop for $1,270.

If there is one thing I love, it’s shoes that make a statement. I currently own over 120 pairs of heels and each one makes it’s very own statement. What’s the point in buying plain looking heels, when you can buy a shoe that will really catch everyone’s attention.

When I saw the Balmain Golden-Chain Anklet Sandals at Style Bop, I was instantly in love. Not only did they make a huge statement, but they were absolutely beautiful! I love gold jewelry, and they look as if you are wearing jewelry on your feet.

This is not a shoe I would wear everyday, but I will say that it would hold special value in my shoe collection. It’s the most perfect heel to wear to a special occasion or an event, but other than that I would keep these beauties in the box. I would love to walk around in these shoes with a gorgeous little black dress.

Such a lovely pair of heels that definitely enchant your eyes.

The Balmain Golden-Chain Anklet Sandals can be purchased at Style Bop for $2,300.

If you like Halloween, Vampires or simply just edgy fashion in general then you might just love the Camilla Skovgaard Wedge Ankle Bootie. When I first laid eyes on them, I was intrigued because you can’t help but stare at these booties.

I think what instantly catches everyone’s eyes is the jagged base of the shoe. It’s not everyday you see such a high, black wedge with a jagged base. At first glance, these do look like a boot that would be apart of a Halloween costume but if you know fashion you’d know that Camilla Skovgaard is known for having that type of style.

These boots would be perfect for the Winter especially in the snow. I’m always in New York, and you always see women slipping and falling in their high heels when the ground has ice on it. I would presume it’s easier to walk in these since they are a wedge.

I’m not sure if I would ever purchase these, but I will admit they are pretty interesting to look at.

The Camilla Skovgaard Wedge Ankle Bootie can be purchased at Singer22 for $558.

I’ve never been a big fan of water. The whole idea of water, boats and sharks are not a pleasant thought to me. I hardly ever go to the beach and I almost never go on boats.

With that said, I’m sure it doesn’t come as a shock when I say that I’ve never been a fan of boat shoes. To me they have always been the tackiest looking shoes ever, and just to wear when going near the water? I always thought men looked tacky in them but I always said women should never wear them. Nothing about them compliments a women.

However, when I took a gander at the Joe’s Jeans “Upbeat” Boat Wedges I was pleasantly surprised. The tacky looking boat shoe had undergone a makeover. Who knew a wedge could make that much of a difference on a shoe. They look much more fabulous and almost make me want to purchase them and take a sail around the beach in Florida.

If any women reading this loves boat shoes, I encourage you to buy these. WHy wear a regular boat shoe when you can purchase one that has a little more style to it? Love them and I’m loving the uplift even more.

The Joe’s Jeans “Upbeat” Boat Wedges can be purchased at Shop Bop for $240.

I love Mary Jane style three strap heels. They personify classic fashion and just straight up adorable. I’ve always wanted a pair of three strap heels but of course it’s impossible to find a 5.5 in them or they are always just sold out period.

While browsing on the Singer22 website, I spotted the Melissa + Vivienne Westwood “Anglomania” Three Straps Elevated Heel. I was instantly in love because not only have I always wanted a pair, but Vivienne Westwood is one of my all time favorite designers.

Everything Vivienne Westwood designs is always a mix of high fashion and sophistication. Who can forget the iconic wedding dress Carrie Bradshaw wore in the first Sex and the City movie. Remember it? Well that in fact was by Vivienne Westwood. That dress started by obsession with the designer brand and now everything I see of Vivienne Westwood I want!

The “Anglomania” Three Straps Elevated Heel are a perfect shoe to wear with skirts and panty hose! Such a gorgeous shoe to walk around in for the Fall and Winter. My heart is set, I must purchase these! What do you think of them?

The Melissa + Vivienne Westwood “Anglomania” Three Straps Elevated Heel can be purchased at Singer22 for $170.

I love shoes and recently I’ve undergone an infatuation with booties. It’s probably because we are currently in Fall moving in Winter shortly. It may not be cold in Florida, but it sure is fun to dress up in clothes that compliment cooler weather. It’s even more fun to be able to wear boots! Florida is very hot all year long, so to wear boots here would just be purely for a sweaty fashion statement.

When I spied the Report Signature “Clarkson” Crystal Platform Booties I was instantly in love. Lately, I’ve just loved anything that features crystal, but crystals on a boot? Not that’s too good to be true!

I can totally envision myself wearing these with leggings, a simple pair of black leggings that is. These are definitely the type of boots you wear with a very simple outfit. I know I wouldn’t want any outfit I wear to take attention away from these beauties. These gorgeous boots deserve all the limelight they can get! Such a beautiful pair of booties that have already made their way onto my wish list.

The Report Signature “Clarkson” Crystal Platform Booties can be purchased at Shop Bop for $395.

I love my heels and platforms, but I also have a secret obsession for wedges. For me, wedges are the gift to heel lovers. Let’s face it, after a while heels can hurt seriously bad and give us the worst pain possible. Have you ever noticed though that wedges really don’t hurt that bad? I can literally wear wedges all day long and not have an ounce of pain, so whenever I see a pair of gorgeous wedges I’m anxious to buy them.

I’m currently drooling over the L.A.M.B. “Plum” wedges. They are very plain but yet fabulously high at the same time. I love wearing wedges with skinny jeans and shorts. The only “con” about these gorgeous wedges is that they are suede. In my opinion, they would look much better in leather but overall it’s one hot shoe that I need to add to my collection.

You can purchase the L.A.M.B. “Plum” wedges at Zappos for $275.

I am always in the mood for some wacky jewelry from Marc by Marc Jacobs! I love his cute little characters (Yay for Miss Marc!) and brightly colored pieces! Although they are perhaps a little on the kiddie side at times. But, hey, what better way to feel playful and young? However, it looks like Marc was wanting you to feel really young with his Marc Jelly Bracelet Set! The set consists of five multicolored jelly bracelets, each depicting a letter from the word “MARC” plus the shape of an apple. Hmm… SillyBandz anyone? These cute bracelets would definitely help me connect with my eight year old niece! Actually, she would probably like them herself (but even more so if they were princess shapes). So if you’re looking to connect with a child, even if it is just your inner child, then you should definitely check out this fun bracelet set!
