It’s that time of year for a little seasonal shoe round up!  September is here, pumpkin everything is hitting stores and coffee shops, and it’s time to start pulling out those booties again!  If you are in need of a new pair, I have rounded up some of my top picks for the season.  If you don’t need a new pair this year, consider this a little mid-week eye candy.

I divided up my picks into 3 sections this year – cute details, the always popular flats, and a bold but still versatile color.  I think for the side details the top is my favorite, but the others are all close runner ups. I also included a wedge bootie.  A friend of mine has a pair similar to these and raves about how comfy they are compared to her heeled booties.

For our flats section, I found a few different styles from great basics to fun details.  The second pair is also waterproof! I learned about this brand from a friend who used to live in Seattle.  With how rainy it gets in Houston sometimes, I am considering adding a pair from this brand soon.

Animal prints are pretty popular this season, and many of these booties also come in a print.  Personally, I’m not 100% ready to buy a printed bootie. I love my printed heels, but I don’t know how I would like the bootie look on me.  I will say though I’ve seen some really cute outfits with them!  For me, I think a bold neutral color like black or cognac brown is a better option.  It will still give me versatility with my wardrobe and the stronger color will stand out just enough.  While I normally lean towards suede for my booties, I found a few cute leather pairs that I think really work with the strong color choice.

So which bootie style is your favorite?  If you want even more help prepping your fall wardrobe, my free wardrobe checklist dowload is available HERE!

Currently Craving: Fall Booties

| DETAILS |
Neutrals: ONE | TWO  | THREE

Peep Toe:  ONETWO  |  THREE *just purchased*| FOUR
High Ankle: ONE
On Trend:  RED  |  WHITE  | PYTHON | LEOPARD

Let’s talk shoes, more specifically FALL BOOTIES!  I love booties because you can start wearing them at the start of fall when the weather is still warmer and wear most of them through spring.  If you live in the south, you can usually wear peep toe booties in the winter except for those few freezing weeks each year.  I rounded up some classic neutral styles including a few low heel/flat styles for you.  One of them is waterproof!  I just learned about waterproof booties from a friend.  She had a few pairs from this brand, and I loved how cute and stylish they look.  We have had a rainy fall and we usually get lots of rain in the spring, so I may need to get a pair!

I added another peep toe bootie to my shoe collection this month.  I have had my eye on them for awhile, and finally just broke down and bought them.  I love that I can wear them both to work and with jeans.  This year’s hot bootie trend is all about making a statement.  The hot color trend is red and white, and the hot print is leopard and python.  Almost all of these booties come in different color options. So if you like the style but not the color, you may be in luck to find your preferred color option.  Also, about half of the booties I picked this year are under $100 and all are under $200.

Hello ladies!! Well, I am officially back in Texas and home from my first New York Fashion Week.  It was a whirlwind a few days, and I can’t wait to share more with you soon.  The last few days, we experienced some nice fall weather, but back in Texas means back to the heat and all my summer faves like this black and white look.  Most of the runway shows I attended featured tons of black and white looks, so I think this a perfect post fashion week outfit.

This black and white cami was a late summer purchase.  I love pairing camis with jeans for a date night or to grab a drink or dinner with friends.  This one pairs perfectly with all the jean colors, but I love the contrast with the white jeans.  These brown booties provided the perfect color pop for this black and white look.  The suede and western style helps make this outfit look more fall while still helping me stay cool.  The western vibe of these boots also made me want to add a bit or turquoise into the overall look.  Hello gorgeous statement earrings.

I’m taking today off work to relax, recover and catch up on blog work.  I hope ya’ll have a fabulous week.  Thanks for stopping by!

At the start of summer, I saw so many women wearing these cute button front dresses.  Living in the 100 degree heat of a Texas summer, I  knew I needed one!  I originally wanted a white one, since white is totally having a moment right now.  While searching , I found this gorgeous rose pink button front dress.  I love the earth tone vibe to it.  It gives a fun boho chic style when paired with my suede brown boots and saddle bag.  I added in my bangles and arrowhead white earrings to complete my boho inspired look.

You can change the vibe of this dress with a pair of wedges and a change of the bag.  You could also opt for a simple gold earring to create another cute and casual summer outfit.   This dress is so lightweight and breathable!  It was exactly the dress I needed for an outdoor brunch with friends.  You can also add a cute khaki colored or denim jacket to this look to transition this dress into fall or to wear during Spring.

I have such a low key weekend planned.  July was a pretty busy month for me, so I’m kinda excited to just chill and catch up on blog work.  The rest of August and September is looking to be a busy one too with a trip to New York planned, a friend’s wedding, and my birthday at the end of this month.  I’m definitely going to enjoy this weekend in case I don’t get another slow one for a few months.  I hope whatever you are up to this weekend, you enjoy every moment of it.  Thanks for stopping by this week!
