The Look for Less: Designer Boots

The Look for Less: Designer Boots

Out of all the seasons of the year, my favorite has finally arrived… BOOT SEASON! Though it may not be considered a “real season”, it still counts in my book.  Styles come and go quickly, so it’s important to pay attention to which designer items we decide to invest in. Riding boots will forever be a classic, which is why I just snagged a pair of these Frye boots for the Fall. While I’m dreaming for these super trendy Balenciaga ankle boots, I know in reality it would be smarter for me to order a pair of these instead. Take a peek of some of my favorite Fall boot trends below and see how you can get the look for less!

The Look for Less: Spikes

If you thought the spike trend was over, think again. Christian Louboutin is keeping the spikes alive once again this season with new styles of heels, pumps, and boots to make your mouth water. For those of you who want the look without the heavy price tag, check out these similar flats I found online below. Either style you choose is bound to make a statement with your next daily ensemble.

If you haven’t heard already, Banana Republic has teamed up with the AMAZING Issa London to bring an affordable collection to Banana Republic stores. If Issa London doesn’t ring a bell, I’m sure the famous sapphire dress Kate Middleton wore for her engagement announcement will! To top it off, the stunning blue dress is a part of this collaboration. The collection embodies a contemporary yet conservative theme with wrap dresses, sweaters, fun prints, and more. Celebs too have fallen for the Issa London + Banana Republic pieces –  Take a peek at some of my favorite celebrity looks:

The British are coming! In less than one month, my favorite online retailer Topshop will be opening a boutique within the Dallas Nordstrom stores. Considering I’m rather old school and prefer to visit the brick-and-mortar locations over online shopping, I am beyond ecstatic of this news! Topshop mirrors the audience of Zara and H&M with trendy, high fashion pieces at affordable prices. Though the British retailer has flagship stores in NYC, Chicago, Vegas, and LA, this new concept within Nordstrom stores has already proved to be a huge success for the company.  Mark your calendars for October 3rd – This is a launch you do NOT want to miss!
