Obsessed: Ticked Off

Jeffrey Campbell is by far, one of my favorite shoe designers.  Every other day I stalk solestruck to see if they've added any newcomers to his collection.  When I love a pair of shoes, I usually have them in more than one color.  That's what happened last year when J.C. released the "Tick".  I'm usually an "all black everything" type of girl, but I've been trying to step out of my comfort zone lately so my first "Tick" purchase was the natural burlap.  I had no idea what I was going to wear these with, but I still bought them.  Then, I discovered the tribal version, but they were too safe and similar to everything else in my wardrobe.  A couple of days later I saw the cheetah fur version and I was sold!!

Obsessed: Fall Boots

There is no season like fall!  You can pull out your favorite tights, blazers, turtlenecks, scarfs, and on the colder days: gloves!  Last but not least, LAYER, LAYER, LAYER!!!  I love to put on all of the items listed above together.

My biggest fall obsession would have to be boots.  I have scrawny little calves, so I prefer knee and over-the-knee for my personal silhouette, but I love all types.  Frye and Jeffrey Campbell top the list as my favorites, but can be a bit pricey.  So, when I see a pair of fly boots over $300, you know the frugalista in me is checking Steve Madden and every thrift store online and in town to see if I can get a similar style.  

Sigh...during my virtual window shopping spree, I stumbled across my latest fundraiser, "On Fire" by Jeffrey Campbell.  I have the same type of boot without the buckle details; so it will be hard for me to clearly justify this purchase.  On top of that, I hate to spend money on items that are too trendy.  I think I just talked myself out of a purchase, lol.  Check it out!!
