If you would have told me I was getting another pair of boots this season, I would have told you, you were right. This is the one pair of shoes that will always capture my eye no matter how many I already have at the house. This episode of saving soles, we're talking about the newest addition to my collection, the Fendi Show Beige leather high-heeled boots. Sitting at just under $2000, these are a fantastic addition.

PERFECT OUTFIT FOR ERRANDS

If you’re like me and like to get dressed with ease, then I KNOW you have a go-to uniform. You know the one. The look that will always make you feel put together and like you put some effort in. It varies given the season but during the colder months, I am usually reaching for a few good layers and a sturdy and comfortable shoe, like a pair of boots. I have been loving this pair from Fendi, but a good boot can be found at several price points.

Have you found the perfect pair yet? Let me know which ones you’re loving in the comments below.

Color of the moment

Whatever you call the color of the season: burgundy, black cherry, merlot, bourdeaux….it’s obvious that it’s taken the fashion industry by storm and we need to work it into our closets. Today, we’re talking all things burgundy and incorporating it in our everyday looks. I have some tips and looks for you to keep in mind when styling.

Have you already tried and fell in love with this color, like me, or have you held off? Let me know in the comments!

We took it up a notch (or three) for this episode of Best Entry Level To Top Luxury Brands, and we’re covering Hermès. It really doesn’t get much more luxurious than this and yet, they still have a great assortment of entry level items. We talk about a few different types of items for today’s episode, and one of them might shock you.

I love creating these lists for you all so let’s keep it going. Drop your favorite luxury brands in the comments that you want an entry item list for.

Happy Spending!
