These Boots were Made for Walking

Hi Gorgeous!!!

I know summer just got here, and those of us who live through cold winters have been dying to get out of our Frye boots and into our Jack Rogers but......Have you seen some of the new styles???????Literally my favorite thing to see in online shopping is "New Arrivals" and "Sale"!

I don't know what it is, but every year around July I become obsessed with boots. Maybe it's because Nordstrom's sale is about to start up (If you are a card member, you should've been invited. If you aren't and frequently shop Nordstrom: sign up for a debit card with them! You get points and "money" back!!!). Or maybe it's because companies like Sorel and Frye are coming out with their newest styles.

Here are my favorite styles that I have my eyes on for purchasing!
These are adorable! I currently have a pair of Toms just like it, but these in black would be great to wear to work this fall.

I love the color of this boot and the look! Although not probably appropriate for work, still really cute for weekend attire. 
My Aunt Gail was given this pair by my Aunt Carol and I literally freaked out when she opened the box. (A little jealous, what can I say, my aunts have awesome style!) They are currently on a major sale on the Sorel website. Links below!
These Frye Boots are so cute! I love all the colors offered. If you are looking for a color boot similar to my admired pair- they have this boot in a very similar color!
Damn! Those boots are sexy! Again they come (as seen) in a very similar color and style to my grey boots from Frye.
And the one boot by Frye you literally cannot live without! I received my first pair of Melissa Frye Boots almost two years ago and I love them! They look so cute with a pair of ripped dark jeans and a sweater or dressed up with tights and a black sweater dress! Either way, this pair is will not let you down and Fryes, if you take good care of them, will literally last forever! 

Frye also is having a really awesome summer sale going on right now. It has anything from flats, sandals, boots, to handbags and key chains!


Here's a photo my favorite pair of boots! The style is called veronica short if you want to purchase a pair of boots in this style. The pair I own looks a bit different than this one, but either way you will always get compliments of this style of boot in the color grey. Everyone always loves my grey boots and I literally live in them all fall,winter and spring! 

This weekend there is a huge festival where I am living, so I am going down to check it out. Look for my post later this weekend about festival food and shopping! (p.s. did I forget to mention I'm going shopping as well?!)

As usual, links below, and please leave a comment :) I would love to hear from you guys, and what you might've scored from the two awesome sales going on at Sorel and Frye

XOXO-Mandie
