Fall Bootie Favorites

One of the best parts about fall is obviously the clothes and shoes, right?! Besides a fun heel, boots are probably one of my favorites, especially if they're comfortable. I'm loving booties lately and have been asked by a couple friends what my favorites are so I thought I'd do a little roundup of some booties. Over the years I've learned that there are some things you should invest in and some things you can get away with the frugal option. Purchasing a good pair of boots is one of those investments, especially snow boots in New England!

There are some amazing sales going on right now with some of these boots! The links to shop are listed below.

FIRST ROW: TOMS Suede Booties // Navy Suede Bootie (25% off with code FALLREVAMP) // Splendid Lakota Bootie (soooo comfy)

SECOND ROW: Dolce Vita Grey Suede // Sam Edelman Fringe // Lucky Brand

THIRD ROW: Chinese Laundry Peep Toe (ON SALE) // Black TOMS // Cole Haan Gray Suede

FOURTH ROW: Old Navy (Great Deal!) // Schutz Black Peep Toe // Sorel Wedge Winter Boots

Struggle with how to wear or cuff your jeans in booties? Here are some cute looks that show you how to style them

Probably my go to with jeans and booties. Cuffing them and leaving a little ankle exposed. Make sure you can't see your sock when wearing this way.

Relaxed boyfriend jeans with relaxed booties

Here a skinnier Jean/jegging works well with a wedge bootie.

I love the color of these over the knee boots that she paired over leggings

This is a trend that took me awhile to get into because if not styled or paired the correct way they can make your legs look short. So I stick with a dressier black bootie with a low opening.

This whole outfit is just adorable and that red leather clutch! I may be saving this look for Christmas this year.

Red Carpet Looks from the Oscars

Red seemed to be the color of the night last night and although there were some beautiful dresses there wasn't anything that really jumped out at me and had me texting my gf's with "OMG DID YOU SEE HER!?!". I think I may have liked the after party dresses more then the Oscar dresses.

BEST DRESSED

Although everything was a little awkward about the interactions with Dakota Johnson's Saint Laurent Dress was stunning. I feel cliche saying her dress was my favorite because she's the hot ticket of the moment right now but I like the simplicity of her hair with the dress and I love the cut of this dress and the detail of the shoulder on this dress. I just love it! Maybe she'll let me borrow it one day. But wait a second, what happened to her boobs?

When I first saw Lupita Nyong get out of the limo I thought this dress was perfect for her. The back is even more gorgeous and I love how simple she kept the jewelry with this piece because it's basically one big piece of jewelry. 6.000 pearls to be exact! But her after party dress may have just been my favorite of all the dresses. Jamie Chungs dress was one of my top 10's. I love the design of the sequins. I was thinking there would be more navy on the red carpet this year.

Jennifer Anistons Versace dress was beautiful! I just wish she would have maybe did a side chiffon with her hair. Keeping along with the nude tones. There is no other person that can pull this color off other then Jennifer Lopez. I just feel she is getting better with age. I love the detail on this dress.

I did a double take when I saw Zoe Saldana. Didn't she just have twins like last week? She looks amazing!!!! You go girl! Oprah's dress in the blush tone was gorgeous as well and great earring choice.

Cate Blanchett nails it again. Keeping it simple and adding a statement necklace I think she just looks stunning in this look.

Naomi Watts Armani dress was awesome! So was her hair. She just looked cool.

BEST COUPLES

Jenna Dewan looked stunning as always. Her accessories were quite handsome too. I'm a lover of white dresses and she kills this one. I love the simple hairstyles from last night too.

I love both of their looks! Her dress is unique without being too different and I love the navy tux.

Joanne Newsom looked amazing. I LOVE this dress and love that she paired a bright earring with it. The clutch and her hair just all go together nicely.

AND THE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER TO THE BAD..

I'm on the fence about Emma Stones dress. I love the dress itself, just not the color. It's a hard color for anyone to pull off and I think she can but I think something else would have been a better choice. This would have looked stunning in a cream on her.

When I first saw Scarlett Johnson I thought to myself WOW, she looks hot! Then I couldn't figure out if the green thing around her dress was part of the dress or a necklace. Still not sure what it is. I loved her hair and this color on her and it fit like a glove. Did she just have a baby recently too or am I really behind on that?

Nicole Kidman half nailed her look. I almost didn't recognize her at first but I love her new hair and make up. The dress was a little disco-ish for my liking.

I feel like I've only been seeing Gywneth Paltrow in pink lately. This could have possibly been my favorite dress minus the enormous rose growing on her shoulder and maybe in white. She does have one kick ass body though.

I think Reese Witherspoon could have picked a better option. As always she still looks gorgeous because she's Reese.

When I saw this dress from the front I loved it. Then I saw the back and it looked like the excess fabric was just tied together, eh. As Kelly Osbourne stated this dress may be ahead of its time.

Lady Gaga was doing the dishes before she arrived and forgot to take off her gloves. But her dress is stunning!! It would be Gaga-ish if she didn't have the gloves though. I'm surprised she didn't want to show off her new rock last night. I know gloves would be the last thing on my mind with a rock that big on my finger.

Ugh Jessica Chastain what happened here? This just looks so dated to me. I want to like it but just can't get myself to. Just too much going on and although this necklace is probably $5 million it's just not working.

Julianne Moore in my opinion is SOOO beautiful. But I'm sad Versace gown that took a gazillion hours to make it was a little blah in my opinion. She looks so beautiful though that it makes up for it.
