It's boot season! Check out some of my favorites for this fall and winter season- steal & splurge style!
Happy fashion Friday, dear readers.
To be completely honest, spring and summer is my jam. I am not one who starts gushing about the glories of fall as soon as the first leaf turns. I'd love to live in a constantly 80 degree climate! However, I am also someone who tries to find a positive in any situation. Fall and winter isn't all bad. And I do have to admit, boots make winter more fun. I'm a certified shoeaholic and boots get a really special place in my heart.
So today, I'm sharing which boots are at the prime of fashion this season! The ones I have and am looking forward to wearing this year. As usual, I'm sharing boots at different price points so everyone can get in on the boot loving action.
Favorite Fall Boots
Tall Riding Boots
Riding boots are at the pinnacle of fashion right now, which is amazing because they are comfortable and go with so many things. I still have my Ralph Lauren pair from last year that I will be rocking, I love these picks as well.
Splurge...
Frye Tall Riding Boots, $388
Steal...
Madden-Girl, $59.99
Fringe Booties
Fringe is hot right now and so are booties! I adore these fringe booties and think they are the perfect addition to your boot collection for this year. My Mother-in-law gave me a pair very similar to these at the end of the summer and I've really enjoyed styling them this fall.
Splurge...
Sam Edelman Fringe Booties $140
Steal...
American Rag, $49.99
Tall Black Dress Boots
In my opinion, every girl needs a classy pair of tall black dress boots. They get your through winter in style and get you out of wearing work pants all the time. I feel like these are more of an investment piece that is not very trendy, so I'm willing to spend more money getting a quality pair. I am still rocking a very classic pair I bought several years ago, but I also love these picks.
Splurge...
Michael Kors, $294.95
Steal...
Rockport (full leather!), $96
Rain Boots
Not only are rain boots crazy functional, they are actually very much in style right now thanks to the rise of the Hunter brand. Once again, thanks to my Mother-in-law I'll be rocking my brown and black Hunter boots all season.
Splurge...
Hunter Rain Boots, $104+
Steal...
Kamik Rain Boots, $30+
Cowboy Boots
No surprise here, but I love a classic pair of cowboy boots as a statement piece! I got my pair in Nashville over three years ago and they are just as fabulous as ever. A good pair fits well and looks better with time! I love pairing them in unexpected ways.
Splurge...
Frye Cowboy Boots, $298
Steal...
Madden Girl, $25+

Leslie @ flora foodie says
LOVE the roundup! I just went boot shopping this weekend and snagged some riding boots I love, plus a great new pair of black ankle boots. I fought the ankle boot trend for a long time, but now I think they're my favorite!
JulieWunder says
I did the same thing! It was'nt my favorite... but now I'm hooked!
Debbie@debbiethisandthat.blogspot.com says
Beautiful boots! I'm becoming a real fan of wearing boots I have to admit! The fringe booties are really cute! Thanks for sharing these great fashion choices.
JulieWunder says
Thanks Debbie! Those are my favorite so far this year!
Farrah says
I definitely wouldn't mind living in a constantly 80-degree climate either (hello, San Diego! too bad cost of living is so high there :[ )
I love and adore boots too! <3 (Especially riding boots + rainboots! :] )
JulieWunder says
I know! I need to visit there someday!
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
All awesome boots! I have a tendency to splurge on my boots because I find the cheaper ones are just that...cheap. Sometimes a few key items are worth the splurge!
JulieWunder says
I agree! I do splurge on boots!
Jenny says
Girl. My boot collection worth more than my car. Your list is great! I live in my Weitzman 50/50 black suede boots all fall/winter. They're another great go-with-anything classic.
JulieWunder says
Ohhhh!!! I knew we should be friends 🙂 Those sound fabulous! Mine are probably worth more too-haha!
Lindsey says
I love booties and riding boots! I just recently bought some rain boots that I'm excited to wear more! I loved your picks! Have a happy weekend!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Lindsey! I do love boots 🙂
lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I'm glad boot season is finally here. I love wearing them with tights and leggings.I definitely love a steal!
JulieWunder says
You can't beat a sale! I like to pick up the splurge ones at the end of the season!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I'm a boot girl--I come by it honestly with the horse background! But that also makes me very picky, lol.
JulieWunder says
I bet! "Real" boots are the best!
Gingi says
OMG, I am all about boots in the fall, and this is making me want to raid my closet, even thought it still feels like summer here in Central Cali, haha..
JulieWunder says
Haha! I'll come and visit you! It's 30-something out there right now! Yuck!
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
Love all your picks! Boots are my favorite - I just bought some awesome cowboy boots in Austin! I can't wait for you to see them 🙂
JulieWunder says
Ahh!! How exciting! I bet they are awesome! Can't wait to see them!
Jess @hellotofit says
Madden Girl has pretty good things, but I've noticed they're not as comfortable as more expensive shoes. I guess we get what we pay for, right? 🙂
JulieWunder says
Sad but true!! It's hard with boots. If I'm going to wear them a lot for multiple seasons-- I splurge.
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
You don't like fall that much? Can we trade places?! It's probably going to be 90 again here in Texas! I am so ready for boots. Boots are definitely my guilty pleasure when it comes to shoes. I love how you showed a splurge and cheaper version. I really need to get some good cowboy boots while I'm in Texas. Everyone says it's the best place to get them but they're not cheap!
JulieWunder says
Yes! You need them. My real pair I splurged on look just as good now as the day I bought them and they are 3 years old!
Diane says
I still have the black crunchy looking boots I copied from you Love your splurge and steal '
JulieWunder says
Those are the best!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
Love this great idea! Love my boots and can't wait to take them out!
JulieWunder says
Me too! It's in the 30s here today so I think they are coming out!
Blane Sherer says
I like your splurge and steal concept.
Hope you have a great weekend !
JulieWunder says
Thanks! Trying to give lots of options!
Mary Beth Jackson says
I do love my boots too! and a cute pair of cowboy boots should be a staple! I am definitely thinking some of those fringe booties will be a purchase for me! TGIF!
JulieWunder says
I think they would look great on you!
