Place your foot into fall with fashion and grace

After reading a fellow blogger's post on fall trends, I noticed that ankle boots were included. I forgot how much I had lusted for these just a few months ago, but was quickly reminded when I decided to make finding pairs of affordable, but stylish ankle boots my mission. After hours of searching, jotting down and comparing I have come up with the following fashion-forward, wallet-friendly finds!

My very first stop was Nine West. I have often frequented this store and their online-website for my own fix of pump-cravings. It was quite easy and I found these cute (ALL UNDER $150) pairs.

None of the pictures, would save- so I have provided you with direct links.

This first pair comes in the colours of black leather, medium grey leather and dark purple suede. Ruched front leather upper bootie on platform patent detailed front, with side zipper and patent 4" stiletto heel. The name for it is "Cedargrove" The price-$99
