my fall shoe picks

Fall is my favorite time of year, with its crisp air, colorful foliage, smells of apples, nutmeg and cinnamon, back-to-school shopping, and of course the return of the pumpkin spice latte. I love curling up with the September issue of Vogue and making a mental wishlist of everything my closet is lacking for the upcoming season. I have already evaluated my shoe needs and have narrowed it down to 5 (relatively) reasonably-priced pairs for fall.

#1: Over-the-knee boots:

Eric Michael 'Vogue' Boot in Black - $249.95

#2: Distressed Motorcycle Boots

Jeffrey Campbell Brit Wrap Strap Booties in Brown- $230

#3: Stacked Platform Sandals

DV by Dolce Vita 'Jezabel' Sandal in Natural - $89.95

#4: Clogs

Marc by Marc Jacobs Ruffle Platform Clogs in Dark Grey Goat - $330

#5: Mens Oxfords

Seychelles 'Bismuth' Bootie in Olive Green - $119.95

Alexa Chung for Madewell

I heart Alexa Chung. She always looks effortlessly cool, making peter-pan collars and full skirts look fresh and stylish. Her new line for Madewell, J. Crew's hipper, edgier younger sister, comes out next month and will be a huge factor in motivating me to lose my baby weight. Here are a couple of the looks from Alexa Chung for Madewell:To view the entire line, check out elle.com.
