Fall is my favorite time of year for a lot of reasons but mostly the fashion. There is nothing more chic and sophiscated than fall fashion; nothing prettier or cozier or more lustful than a sweater, leggings and boots. It makes my heart sing a beautiful song.

Personally, I think this year's fall fashion trends are some of the best; lady jackets, plaid, suede...give me all the texture & warm hues. The shoe trends are also right on point; knee high boots are back, ankle booties, and we can't forget about ballet flats, can we? 

Aside from the trends, the brands are killing it in the shoe department. Everything does look a little similar but I like that, because you have a wide variety of price points, fits and styles. From Steve Madden to Sam Edelman and Marc Fisher, every brand has a pair of shoes you'll love. 

I'm not a shoe gal... I'd probably walk around barefoot if I was considered hygenic, and if I didn't have to travel to work by subway.

I'm very simple when it comes to my shoes... UGG boots, a few pairs of ballet flats, riding boots, and in the summer, sandals.

I never really care about what I was putting on my feet, and never particular about the brand of shoe, expect my UGG boots.

I've never really browsed shoes websites, until now...

I've been a fan of Jack Rogers for the past few years, ever since joining a sorority and realizing they were basically necessary for our uniform *sarcasm*.

I never considered buying Jack Rogers booties or flats because I thought of them as a summer shoe brand, and they are pretty pricey.

Do you see where I'm going with this?



I was on Instagram, as usual, and came across a few bloggers & Jack Rogers posts about their new booties.  I recently purchased this pair of BCBG booties and as gorgeous & comfortable as they are, I wanted something a little more practical for everyday, mostly for work. I could only wear flats & riding boots so much... I needed something else.




When I saw the Bailee booties, I fell in love. They spoke to me on an emotional level, the way bags speak to me. I put off the purchase but knew I was going to need to pull the plug at some point.

That is until I got an email with these gorgeous little shoes. I bought them directly from my phone and never looked back





I mean, they're themed shoes & I can only wear them in November, but they are so cute! They're also the most comfortable flats I own.

After I bought the Turkey Shoe flats, I bought the Baliee Booties in Espresso & they are the most comfortable booties I own. They are the perfect heel height, they're super comfortable, and they really go with everything. I'm already eyeing up a pair in black.



Jack Rogers shoes are of incredible quality, really well made, and adorable. They aren't super trendy, so they're constantly in style, and they have so many color & size options.



I'm actually kind of addicted to Jack Rogers shoes right now, and I don't see the obsession letting up.

What is your favorite brand of shoes?

Last week I tackled sweaters and other fall wardrobe essentials but this week, I'm thinking more about shoes.

I have never been a shoe gal. Shoes are my least favorite thing to buy and if it was socially acceptable, comfortable, and hygienic, I'd probably live my life barefoot. That doesn't seem to smart with traveling by subway every day.

Shoes never appealed to me, I don't know why. I just preferred bags, clothes, and accessories. For that reason, I go through shoes kind of quickly, but never replace them. I am very hard on my shoes and I can't seem to figure out why.

I'll get a brand new pair, wear them to death, and after a month or two, they are completely shot. They look like I've worn them hiking in the mountains, instead of just walking in Manhattan. My mother is appalled at the state of my shoe wardrobe and doesn't understand how I destroy my shoes. It's beyond me, honestly.

Because of all these factors, I really need new shoes. I bought a pair of Steve Madden flats recently and they already looked beaten up.

I have a pair of riding boots waiting for me in my closet when the weather gets cooler but it's still that weird in-between where you don't know what to wear; too cool for sandals, too hot for boots.



I usually wear flats during this off season, but I think I need to expand my horizons. I'm kind of in love with booties as well, so maybe I'll get another pair of those! (I have a pair from Forever21(similar here).

Let's find some shoes for me, shall we?
