ULTIMATE Bootie Round Up for Fall!

~ Hello loves! TGIF. And when I type that, this week I really mean it! This week at school has been a long and challenging one, but really there hasn’t been a “bad” day here in Milan yet 🙂

One thing that I see MUCH MORE of here in Italy is boots, booties, and beautiful shoes (in general!). This fall season, I feel like there is a boom in the amount of booties in the footwear industry. I am certainly NOT complaining about this trend (I obviously love booties!), but it does make it a bit tough to choose the right pair for you. This thought inspired me to create this post and bootie round up! I really went to town combing all of my favorite sites for the best booties out there, and the fact of the matter is in my personal opinion, THESE beauties are the BEST booties that you will find.

Finding YOUR Perfect Pair 

~ Before I divulge where you can find these treasures, I wanted to give a few helpful hints on finding the right pair for you.

1. YOUR height matters ~ What I mean to say is that your height is important to take into account when looking for booties. If you are petite like me, you want your legs to look as long and lean as possible. In order to achieve this, look for a lower ankle bootie like these Franco Sarto’s, or consider a lighter color like these awesome Vince Camuto Cutouts. Lighter colors will always help to elongate your legs! If you are taller and perhaps looking for a shorter heel, these Jack Rogers are an amazing option since they will still shape your legs and make them look fabulous! Oh, and they’re scalloped SO THERE’S THAT <3
2. What are you wearing them for? ~ Are they for everyday? In that case, you might want a lower heel that will offer you a bit more comfort and be sure to pick a color that will go with the majority of your wardrobe. I love these Sam Edelman flat cognac booties or these Splendid flat suede booties for everyday wear! Are they for going out? Maybe you want a pair thats a bit sexy like these fun fringed beauties from ISOLA or a pair that’s super on trend, yet unexpected, like these Jeffrey Campbells!
3. What is the material? ~ If you live in an area that rains often (I hope you don’t!), perhaps stay away from suede. However, both of my brand new pairs that I brought to Milan are suede and I just sprayed them with a leather protector before I left (I did 3 coats for each pair!).

P.S.

I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend and great start to next week! I have lots of homework, but also plans with friends 🙂 Working on my tufted headboard and making my studio a home. I’m also hoping to check out a very old and special fabric store tomorrow since I’m making all of my decorative pillows! If you have any tips on this kind of DIY…please shoot them my way!
