Dolce Vita Gala Booties

My favorite color is black. So a majority of the shoes I will post will be black. I've been told countless times to expand my color scheme in my wardrobe....but I think black looks great on me...actually on everyone. Maybe I'll venture out of the dark side one day, but for now, I'll stick with what I like...which is all black everything....and a hint of gold or silver every once in awhile.

These released in the Fall of 2013. The moment I saw these booties, I had to have them. Here's the catch, they weren't in the budget. I know...I know...here I go with this budget again, but I'd be lying if I didn't tell you the real reason behind leaving these booties in the store and not taking them home with me. I must admit that they're quite simple but I still consider them to be hip, cool, and classy. The booties are a go to shoe for work and considering that I am on my feet all day I needed to make sure that I am comfortable as well. So I waited...and waited...and waited...until the dropped from a whopping $179.00 to $76.00. More than 50 % off!!!! (57.5% off roughly...but you get the point.)

So I went for it and I definitely think I know I made a good choice.

No Apple Bottom Jeans or Boots with Fur....but Embossed Leather Boots...Here I Come!

        I'm a bit of a cornball, therefore the title of this post really does tickle me. Low by Flo-Rida was never really I song I would blast in my car, but I always did find it quite entertaining. Anyway, that's not the point of this post. I'm super excited about what Zara has to offer this season. Considering that I am always on a budget (seriously...I am), I tend to look for pieces that look "expensive"...whatever that means...but are also affordable. Now let's be clear, I am a stickler when it comes to quality. I only buy real leather boots because they last longer. So if I can't afford the real leather...then I just wait until I have enough to money to buy what I think will last. 

Product Description: Zara Embossed Leather Boot

UPPER
100% COW LEATHER
LINING
100% POLYURETHANE
SOLE
100% POLYURETHANE THERMOPLASTIC
I will say that I'm not excited about the polyurethane line or sole....but I'll take what I can get. I also think that these could potentially go on sale sooner than later...so I'll implement some patience and wait just a little while.

Track Sole Obsession...

Alexander McQueen

Chunky Heel Biker Boots

$1,397.67 on Farfetch.com

These boots are everything to me. They are also cost more than I pay for rent a month. General rule of thumb...at least for me...don't purchase clothing or shoes that cost more than your rent. Therefore, those boots you see above aren't happening...it's just not realistic. However....I'm all about the spin-off version by Zara. I saw them and decided instantly that I had to have them. I usually don't wear heels because I can't walk in them, but surprisingly they're really comfortable! Plus, the spin offs are genuine leather...which is a plus for me. What do you think? Did Zara do a good job of recreating the Alexander McQueen Boots? I vote yes....but I may have a biased opinion because I've already purchased them.

Threads of the Day: Risto Chunky Cable Knit Turtleneck Sweater

I'm obsessed with the Fall and Winter...solely for the fashion. I actually don't really enjoy cold weather, but I love the way cable knit sweaters keep you warm. Let me tell you right now...I can't actually afford this sweater, because it's currently $671.00...but a girl can dream right? I am actually looking for a substitute, but I just can't seem to find anything like it. The search continues....
