Off the Rack: Fall Boot Highlights at Kohl's (And There Are A Lot of Them! See 25+ In-Store Pics)

Loving these new fall boots at Kohl's!
What is it about seeing new fall boots that makes my heart race? The visions of endless fall outfit ideas that race through my mind might have something to do with it. I could pair these ankle boots with tailored separates for a minimalist, menswear inspired look. Or channel my inner tomboy with these lace up ankle boots then get girly and romantic in these navy lace-up boots paired with skinny jeans and a chunky cardigan.

Spot the Real: Steve Madden Fringe Heeled Sandals

Can you spot the real Steve Madden fringe sandals?
I will completely understand it if you feel an overwhelming urge to hug your computer right now, because this find is Just. That. Good. Yes ladies I've stumbled upon an incredible look for less of Steve Madden's super haute 'Fringly' sandals ($129.95, nordstrom.com). You may have drooled over these beauties during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (or the very similar 'Staarz' model) because every top-tier fashion blogger seemed to be flaunting them...and with good reason! These heels are so fierce and so on trend for fall. The look for less is just $44.99 now (down from $65) and also comes in cobalt blue. Think you can spot the real Steve Maddens?

We Took the Kohl's Denim Blogger Challenge and Here's How It Went

We review back-to-school denim finds at Kohl's
Nothing frustrates me more than seeing "back-to-school" promotions in early August. Maybe not now as much as I used to since I'm no longer a student, but I am very much open to the idea that this back to school commotion means an excuse to buy new clothes! Particularly jeans...possibly the most loved and hated item by women. My enthusiasm was peaked even more when Kohl's asked me to participate in their Denim Blogger campaign! Usually when I go to Kohl’s, I head straight to the Junior’s section. I realized at 23 years old, it’s probably acceptable for me to actually check out the women’s denim. Especially when the Junior’s jeans are all torn up, faded, and have weird pocket designs that I’m just not down with flashing from my booty. Wandering over to the big girl’s section, I questioned whether this too would be way off my radar (hello, mom jeans), but I was shocked that I actually found as many pairs as I did that I felt flattered me, met my standards for comfort, and actually see myself wearing.
