Wearing: bold mother of pearl earrings / Chanel sunglasses / lipstick c/o L’Oreal in Julianne / long sleeve burgundy tee / faux shearing vest (color sold out, linked to darker color, similar here) / mixed metal ring set / Chanel Emeraude nail polish / black bucket bagdistressed skinny jeans / booties c/o Bare Traps (on major sale for under $100! Also here in black under $100)

Our fall weather pattern has finally started! Yay! This means I can pull out all the cozy items from my closet I have been longing to wear. The moment I spotted these comfy booties from Bare Traps, I knew they would look fabulous and cozy with this soft faux shearling vest I have been staring at in my closet for over a month!

These brown fall booties are so incredibly comfortable-words cannot describe how amazing they feel on my feet! There is the perfect amount of padding inside the shoe; and it feels like my toes are being cradled. I love them so much! The leather is soft, and the knit details are equally soft, and comfortable. I love how the sole has traction, so when the weather cools down even more, I won’t have to worry about slipping on ice, or wet land. Love that!

Designers in New York, Paris, Milan, and London took the lug sole bootie, and the traditional hiking boot, and made them avant-garde for the fall season. This means lug soles, and hiking boot styles, are hotter than hot for the autumn months; and well through the winter season too. I love how a bootie style which is both practical, and comfortable, has also joined the ranks of fashionable, and hot! These Bare Traps booties are perfect!

Before Bare Traps introduced me to their fall collection, I was not aware of the brand. I feel like I have been missing out! They have the most adorable boots, and booties, for the fall/winter season. I love so many styles of Bare Traps booties for the autumn season, it was hard to pick just one pair. There are two more pairs on my wish list I hope to add to my closet this season. These tall boots, and this pair of lace-up booties. Both pairs are priced under $50! Aren’t they fabulous! #MustHave

I am looking forward to walking miles and miles in my new Bare Traps booties this season. Have you tried their boots, booties, or shoes before? If not, you must check them out! The regular prices are moderate, and some of their fall collection is on sale right now; so the prices are a-ma-zing!

Favorite shoes and boots from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2016

Best shoes boots Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2016

Pictured from top left: lace-up flats (hot IT item at a great price, similar pair on sale under $90 here) / slip-on sneakers / low heel black booties / fringe booties (I bought these in black and LOVE them! Fringe is hot for fall!!) / Mary Janes (I bought these in black, Mary Janes are hot for fall!!) / burgundy booties / rain boots (classic closet staple at a great price-must have for rainy days!) / tie-up heels (IT item!!!) / riding boots (classic closet staple-I love Tory Burch shoes, super comfortable and high quality!) / grey booties (cute and classic!)

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing, with public access beginning on July 22, 2016. There are SO MANY shoes and boots, so I thought I would navigate the sale and bring you my favorites; in order to help you save time!

The shoes and booties I chose are either classic, closet staples, or reflect the runway trends for fall 2016. This fall, fringe on shoes and boots is still a HOT trend. Look for more tie-up shoes too! Street sneakers and slip-on sneakers are still an IT thing for casual days, and Mary Janes with thick, or stacked heels, are the IT pump of the season. I love this pair of Mary Janes because they reflect the trend perfectly, and the price is great! I always love a deal on a trendy item. 🙂

These rain boots are as much a wardrobe staple as a Burberry trench coat for rainy days. I am so excited they are on sale in black! That is about as classic as it gets. If you don’t already own Hunter boots, this is a great opportunity to get a pair! Love the sale price!

I am very excited about these riding boots too. Tory Burch makes really comfortable shoes and boots, so finding a classic pair of riding boots made by her is a dream come true! The price is amazing too.

I hope you are enjoying the sale, and finding great deals! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Turtleneck sweater and boots

It has been such a cold fall season! As we head into winter here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the weather is getting chillier, and chillier! Due to this fact, I find myself reaching for my turtleneck sweater a few times per week!

A turtleneck sweater is such a great piece on its’ own, or layered under a coat. I love how it can be casual when paired with jeans, or look pulled together with an office appropriate skirt. A turtleneck sweater can also be spiced up with long necklaces, or a blanket scarf! Love that!

In the photos above, I paired my favorite turtleneck sweater with a warm, wool blend skirt from last year. I adore this skirt! I originally purchased it for fashion week in September 2014. It worked out well in my suitcase since it was easy to pair with different tops. I love how it is black in back, and grey in front!

In order to wear a skirt in the 40 degree weather we have been enduring lately, I have found my boots are a life saver. They keep my legs warm, and allow me to wear skirts for church or work meetings. If you have been following along, you have seen me write about how fabulous these boots are in past articles. They are extremely comfortable, I can walk for miles in them, and they are currently on sale! Fabulous!

Which pieces do you find yourself reaching for often in order to stay warm? Do you brave wearing skirts in cold weather, or do you stick with warm pants?
