What to wear this fall: Boots + Outerwear

The two things that I can’t wait to wear during the fall are boots and outerwear.  I’ve been doing some shopping for both and here’s my essentials for my fall wardrobe.

I love over the knee boots but I prefer a heel with them as it completely elongates my short legs whereas a flat over the knee boot somehow makes my legs look even shorter!  But I can’t do without my flat boots as well and I look for a pair that will slip over jeans easily and hits me right below the knee.  The bootie is always a favorite as I can wear it with my skinny jeans tucked in or over, or paired with a skirt and tights is always a great look.

Outerwear is one of my favorite things to wear during the fall and winter and you can tell by my overpacked coat closet!  It’s definitely something that I get a lot of wear out of and my three must have’s this fall are a chic cape, a faux fur vest and a cute hooded coat.

My Nordstrom Shoe Sale Haul – Prada and Louboutin

I went to Nordstrom not knowing there was a shoe sale going on but when I walked in, my eyes immediately zoomed in on the shoe sale rack and I was SUPER happy to find some amazing shoes on sale!

There was not a whole lot of the higher end designer labels on sale but I ended up picking up these Prada flats on sale. (not on sale online)  I’ve been wanting pointy toe flats so I was very happy to find them!

My SA brought out a few other pairs in a size 5 and we were talking about how hard it was to get shoes in a 5.  I asked her if she might have any other shoes on sale when she mentioned that she may have a few more in the back.  When she brought out these booties my eyes lit up and I’m pretty sure I snatched them out of her hands as fast as I could! LOL! I just love the color and the So Kate is my new favorite pump shape and I’ve never seen the bootie version!

They were priced at over 50% off and with some gift cards stored up, I ended up paying just a third of the original price for these!  Very excited for my new shoes and I’m sure you will be seeing them in my outfit posts soon!

Favorite Espadrilles

So now that it’s getting warmer out, I like to look for more warmer weather footwear, however with Seattle, it’s never truly sandal weather until about July.  I’ve been eyeing a few espadrilles and you may have seen the Chanel espadrilles that it seems like everyone has been wearing (or wanting) but I didn’t really want to spend that much money on a pair.  I did some hunting and came across a few pairs but I ended up with these from Rebecca Minkoff and let me tell you I LOVE them.  They are so comfy and they just go with everything.

They are currently on sale at Zappos but you can find them on Shopbop and Neiman Marcus too.

Here’s a recent outfit that I wore with them that I posted to instagram.

 
J Crew tee | Joe’s Jeans (a new fave and great for shorties!)
Rebecca Minkoff Espadrilles | t+j Designs Bracelets
In my search I did find a couple more that I loved, I really wanted the Loeffler Randal Mara but I couldn’t find my size.  I liked that the Jeffrey Campell ones came in leather and love the lace ones from Tory Burch.  The ASOS espadrilles are really cute and a great price!  Ultimately I settled with the Rebecca Minkoff ones as I liked the ratio of the espadrille part (not too big) and the detail of the studs and the comfort.  But I love the look of these so much I may be buying one of these other options too.

Valentino Metal Heel Pump

Prada Platform Pump
http://rstyle.me/n/c82tihmm
Prada Bow Flat
Update: my SA just told me that these would not be on sale 🙁

And here are more styles that I tried on or I know for sure that are going to go on sale!

The discount varies from brand but will be 30%-40% off.  Most brands will go on sale 11/27 and Chanel, Dior and Louboutin will not go on sale until 12/4. 

If you need a great sales associate, email me and I’ll give you the info for mine, he hunts down everything for me in my size and is awesome!  Otherwise, go to Salon Shoes at Nordstrom and ask if you can do a pre-sale!  Basically how it works is that you find the shoes that you want and then on the day of the sale they’ll charge your card and send them to you (or you can pick them up at the store.)  You can always go to the store the day of the sale but pre-sale is best because you’ll for sure get your size and styles that you want!

Charles Phillip Smoking Slippers

OK so I had to share my latest obsession with you all.  I was shopping around for new flats a few months ago and came across these very cute smoking slippers from Charles Phillip.  When I got them, I swear I wore them for a week straight!  They are the comfiest things ever and so I went out and got 2 more pairs!  I was just checking for new styles last night and loved all the new prints and patterns.  My pink pair are still available here on sale, the other two have sold out.

Some of my favorite of the new patterns…

Camo | Chevron | Leopard

And their new tassel loafers are just as cute!

Flannel
Tweed
Gold

Seriously with the price point being under $200 they are some of the best flats that I’ve owned and I think I’m going to keep on collecting them!

Shop it: Wedges

At 8 months pregnant, I’m realizing that my ambitions of wearing heels are slowly going away.  At this point with my gigantic belly I’d rather be comfy than cute in heels.  However, I still can’t give up a bit of height so I’ve been living in wedges.

A few favorites and the best part, they’re all on sale!

I love bright wedges and have my eye on these MBMJ pink ones, love the bow in front!  And I have the flats version of the Dolce Vita Tremors, love the height of the wedges and that they are on sale for $45.  I have a few Kate Spade wedges that are super comfy, I’m eyeing these navy blue patterned ones as they are adorable and I can wear them with a ton of my dresses.

Dolce Vita Tremor | Kate Spade Dabney

It’s always good to have some more classic options that you can wear to work.  Since I own my own business I don’t have to go into an office everyday but I do like to have more classic styles to wear to meetings or to a nice dinner.  Love the Stuart Weitzman Corkswoon as I love the nude patent on them with the cork.  They are really comfy too!  And the are gorgeous and for about $100 a great price for a well made shoe.

French Garden Shoes

If you follow me on instagram you  may have seen me post these adorable bows.  Aren’t they the cutest?

 Buy the bow clips here!

Silvia from French Garden Shoes contacted me about her shop and I fell in love with all her shoe clips!  It’s the perfect way to add a bit of fun to your shoes.  It’s like getting new shoes without actually buying new shoes 🙂  She also sells flats (unfortunately she doesn’t carry my size but she’s working on getting some smaller sizes!) but they are all so cute.  Check out my faves!

Love these little leather bows!

And how fun are these cute flower clips?  I love how they take a normal flat to something so fun.

She sent me these fun polka dot bows too and they look so cute on my flats and my pumps.

Silvia makes the bows herself in her little shop in the south of France.  I love that my little bow clips came all the way from the south of France, makes me feel a bit fancier when I wear them. 🙂
