Favorite Flats...On Sale!

Finding a pair of flats that you can wear all over grounds without getting blisters is a challenge. I actually have two pairs of shoes that only come out on "light walking" days. Luckily, there is a pair of flats that I know will never let me down and they come in almost every color! Oh, did I mention that they are only $40? Yeah. The Steve Madden Heaven flat has been really popular for a couple of years now and I am on my second pair right now which I am absolutely wearing into the ground on the brick sidewalks at UVA. Today I was looking at DSW's website to order a replacement for my faithful favorite and was surprised by how many different colors and prints they come in! I cannot recommend these flats enough because they really don't take any time to break in and they are comfortable for hours!

As an added bonus, if you use the code "OctoberFun" at checkout on DSW.com, you get $10 off a purchase of $74, $25 off $149, or $50 off $249. Happy Shopping! Also the bracelets are the same as the ones I made over the summer, I just decided I wanted some for fall when I made those. If you want to make your own, here's the original blog post.

great color for fall!
as Jenna Lyons says, leopard is a neutral!

How to Rock Summer Booties

You know that moment when you get water on your new leather shoes and you basically want to cry? No? Yeah, me either... Seriously though, I had a "my favorite new shoes are drenched in water and this is tragic, plus it's ruining my outfit and making me late for work" moment yesterday. Good news though, the shoes are a-okay and with a touch of leather conditioner are going to be even better! 
What shoes deserve all this love? My new booties from DSW that I got a couple of weeks ago while on the hunt for the perfect leather, non-pump, non-sandal to wear to work. I was actually inspired to look for these by a Michael Kors wedge and decided that I really wanted a bootie because it had longer seasonal wear. Objectively, I think everyone should get this shoe because the leather is buttery soft, it is a perfect neutral and the stacked heel is comfortable for walking around and wearing all day.
For some reason, people think that a bootie has to be worn with a pair of pants, but you can absolutely wear them with shorts, dresses, etc. Today I am wearing it with this great dress from TJ Maxx (super comfy) and this weekend I might throw them on with a romper! Here are some of my favorite booties from around the internet!

Oh, and since Pinterest helped inspire the beginning of my love of booties, here is a little inspiration for you!

How do you rock your booties in the summer? Also, little anecdote: when I was talking to my Grandma on the phone and said "summer booties," she thought I meant my butt! haha

Loafing Around

One of the advantages of having a preppy, classic sense of style is that staples in your wardrobe become popular every couple of years and you almost look trendy...kinda. I have had that Ralph Lauren classic streak in me since before I could say prep thanks to my momma. I love dressing with classic style because it makes me feel better about investing in quality pieces that I can a lot of wear out of. This year I am so excited to see the smoking slipper and loafer inspired flat making a big splash in the shoe world. These are the perfect shoe for college because they're sturdier than a regular flat and work so well with both jeans and skirts. Seriously, these last way longer on the uneven brick sidewalks of UVA than any pair of regular flats ever will.
Since they have gained such widespread popularity, you can get them at almost any price point and pattern now. So, while I still pine after Stubbs and Wootton slippers that I will actually never be able to afford, more affordable options are out there that are friendly to a college girl's budget.
