If you ask me, the best thing to shop for is shoes. Of course, I love to shop for anything and everything. I basically do it for a living. But shopping for shoes has always had a special place in my heart. My love affair with shoes has gone on for years. Ever since I was back-to-school shopping in elementary school, I would drag my mom through department stores, always starting with shoes. Now that fall is around the corner, I'm getting that back-to-school nostalgia and thought, What better time to indulge myself with a little shoe shopping for fall? When I think of fall shoes, the first thing that comes to mind is, of course, boots. Boots are the backbone of a great fall outfit, and with so many options out there on the market, I decided to roll my sleeves up and get to digging for the best of the best for this upcoming season. Nordstrom, Reformation, Shopbop, H&M, and DSW came to the rescue. I found Chelsea boots, knee-high boots, rain boots, and ankle boots galore.
You can thank me later—take a peek at the 30 chic boots that are sitting in my cart as we speak.
