Hello my dears, I hope your week has been well! I can't believe it's already April. Half the year will have gone by before I know it. Anyway I'm back with another post for the Obsessed series where I share with you shoes that I am loving for the season.

I really like the way that oxfords add a bit of masculinity in an outfit and because they're such a "posh" shoe, it can also elevate a more casual look. As you can see in some of the ones I've selected, not all oxfords have to be chunky or manly; there are many styles that incorporate feminine details and would work wonderfully with Spring dresses and skirts!

Some of the trends for oxfords include platforms, embellishments, perforations, and cut outs. My favorite would be #5 in the high end options and #1 in the low end options. Which ones did you like the most? What other shoes are you into for this Spring? I'd love to hear your thoughts so leave them down below! Or Tweet me using the hashtag #ObsessedforSpring :)

If you live anywhere where it snows incessantly, you'll know that there are specific boots you can wear in the fall and specific ones to wear in the winter. The second part of this series will focus on boots that are perfect for fall...whether it's sunny, raining, windy, or cloudy!

All of the shoes featured are my personal picks and do not necessarily reflect current trends. These are just boots that I'm lusting over and hopefully ones that you guys like as well :)

I think boots are one of the easiest kinds of shoes to wear. If you're looking for a little extra height, heeled boots can be a more comfortable option compared to stilettos. (Of course, this has limitations depending on what kind of occasion you want the heels for.)


[1] Gentle Souls Suede Moto Booties in Dark Taupe[2] Stuart Weitzman High Street Over the Knee Boots[3] Sam Edelman Cammie Ankle Boot[4] Dolce Vita Hanover Fringe Booties[5] Marc by Marc Jacobs Montague Booties[6] Kate Spade Tracee Bow Bootie

Starting from #1, a low heeled suede boot can add a gentle and soft texture to a rougher, edgier outfit or be a perfect companion to a boho look. Next, over-the-knee boots are a must have! They are so sexy paired with a skirt or dress and you can opt for a flat pair versus a heeled one. Third, I never got over the track sole trend. I think there's something very masculine AND feminine about it at the same time. I'd recommend looking for this kind of sole if you live in places with a lot of snow because it'll help you trek through it much easier.

Moving on! We have another suede bootie but this one has a skinny heel and fringe! Yes, fringe. Okay so you'll either be totally obsessed or totally grossed out. I think fringe is cute on shoes when done properly and the stiletto makes this pair less cowboy-ish than most. Next we have a bold, red combat boot...gorgeous and unique. You can pair it with an all-black ensemble or with your cozy sweater and leggings combo. Last but not least...for all the cutesy, girly girls out there, I think this black chunky bootie with the leather bow is just beautiful. Very feminine but chic. A subtle way to incorporate a girly element to any outfit.


There you have it. I hope you enjoyed this! Leave it down below and tell me what you're go-to fall boots are! Or send me a Tweet about how you would style any of those boots :)

If you've been following me for a while, you'll know that I do a lot of shoe posts because that's just what I'm into. So, today I decided to start a series called Obsessed (although I'm still tentative about it so if you guys have any suggestions for another name, please let me know!). Basically in this series, I will go through a list of must-haves in each shoe category, like heels, sneakers, boots, etc.


[1] United Nude Slip Ons in Navy Black White[2] Nike Toki Slip-On in Black White[3] Nike Roshe Run Print Sneaker in White Silver Black[4] Vans SK8 Hi Reissue in True White Premium Leather[5] Vans Classic Slip On in Khaki True White[6] Puma Classic Suede Sneaker in Grey Pink
I'm kicking it off (ha ha ha) with sneakers for the fall!

You don't need me to tell you that sneakers can be worn year-round and it's true for the ones I've selected above. But, I've chosen those specific ones because I think they'll be absolutely perfect for a cooler autumn. THESE ARE NOT NECESSARILY TRENDS. These are just sneakers that I love and wish I had (insert crying laugh emoji).

Black slip-ons are a MUST for fall. Why? You can wear them with ripped jeans, dark denim, light denim, leather shorts, leather skirts, white skinny jeans, flowy midi skirts...you name it! Go for either a leather/leather looking pair for a sleeker look or pick a sporty pair to add that down-to-earth vibe.

Next, white sneakers. Good for most of the year, though I don't recommend wearing them if you're in New England like me and winters = death piles of snow and slosh. However, for fall, choose a pair with a dark pattern or again, the leathery look. I find that the leather material makes the outfit a bit "heavier" and more fall appropriate.

Last but not least, suede! You'll either LOVE or HATE it. I think it adds a nice, warm texture to outfits, especially for colder months. If you opt for a taupe colored pair, you can wear them virtually all year. Throw them on with a white denim skirt and sweater or wear your favorite jeans and t-shirt to let the shoes do the talking!
