Fall Essentials: Footwear

This is my favorite time of year for footwear because I actually fit in. I wear boots year 'round but this is the most appropriate time of the year, of course. This whole post and video is about boots and nothing else.

The classic. Doc Martens withstand the test of time and any weather.

Forever 21 has hit or miss shoes, and I always hit. These beauties might be a knock-off, but they're $100 cheaper. I'll take 'em.

Ultimate hit from Forever 21. Wish I got backups of these babies, because they're just that, my children. These are my favorite shoes of the moment, any season.

Wellies are of course a necessity if you live where it rains, sadly it ONLY rains here, I never see snow. But these Urban Outfitters boots I scored for $20 have a hot pink lining and will keep my feet dry while still being chic! (love that they have a biker feel to them!)

The oldest of the shoes. These ALDO shoes I've worn to the ground. Classic soft leather boot with buckles. Casual and cute.

Heeled chelsea boots like these H&M ones are a must. They might be a fad, but they are a very pretty fad.

Inexpensive Beauty Finds (All Drugstore!)

Random Photoshoot of Myself: Grunge

Did a photoshoot for fun, as you may or may not know, modeling is a dream and a passion, but not sure if I can really go anywhere so I don't really persue it. So here are some shots! The theme today was rocker grunge, and I LOVE my makeup and it only took a few seconds because I was going for that messy hair and makeup look. (MAC Paint Pots are my best friend.)

 

What I'm Wearing:

Flannel from Forever 21

Red Hot Chili Peppers Tee from Goodwill

Makeup:

Korres Soft Eyeliner Pencil in Black

MAC Paint Pots in Groundwork and Quite Natural

Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

OOTD: Thigh High

I get a lot of questions about how to wear thigh high socks. I know this can be controversial because they are quite sexy, but I like to pair men's pieces to tone it down, like this men's Red Hot Chili Peppers t-shirt that I got at goodwill and cut up for more feminine lines. It's all about the mix. Making feminine things more masculine, and manly things more feminine.
