Elizabeth Anne Shoes Purse n’ Boots Brown Walking Boots

Elizabeth Anne Shoes Brown Walking Boots

Classic tall riding boots are a shoe I could live in all year here in San Francisco. Even on the tail end of spring and the cusp of summer, we get some really odd freezing cold days where the coastal fog takes over and any stranger might think it was a typical day in February. And as a SF girl on the go, I also like carrying just my bare necessity items with me if I’m meeting up for drinks, dinner, or dessert with friends at night; you won’t catch me ever going out with a humongous purse. The same goes for when I’m out running errands; I find my purse just gets in the way and it’s one more thing to carry. That’s why when I found these boots by Canadian designer and entrepreneur Elizabeth Anne, I knew they were designed with the city girl in mind. These are innovative and stylish boots with slim pockets for your bare essentials built inside!

Scheduled for release this September, these classic brown leather riding boots with this innovative slim pocket feature are available for preorder now. The ‘European’ style boot, pictured above, features the designers signature “Purse n’ Boots” creation: a handy pouch in the shaft of the boot with slots for your credit card, passport, and smartphone. As in, it will work for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Blackberry users! Made of a genuine cowhide leather, I just love the vintage finish these boots have. They’re not only practical, but very stylish! What’s also wonderful is that there are two calf sizes available  which few shoe manufacturers offer, ever. I think I will absolutely live in these when it comes to going out year-round in SF. Perfect for rocking with a dress, jacket, and you’re out the door… no purse needed!

Gipsy Dharma Purple Knee High Leather Boots

Gipsy Dharma Purple Knee High Leather Boots

If you love rocking a statement piece and the color purple, I’ve found THE item for you. In a delicious and vibrant grape shade, these handmade knee high leather boots fit like a second skin. The lace-up calf and moccasin style feet give this bohemian boot a forgiving wear on any size leg or foot. These boots are made of fine quality leather that’s both supple and durable; perfect for romping around in. I think these are the perfect piece to rock at that summer music festival you’ve been looking forward to; a unique fashion item no one else will be wearing! The laces hang down like tassels and that tells me these boots were made to dance and twirl in. Wear with a mini skirt, crocheted tank, antiqued silver jewelry, and cross-body purse for that an instantly boho chic look that starlets like Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, and Lucy Hale make look so easy. I’ve featured boots by GiPSY Dharma in the past and I just had to share that these boots come in not only purple, but many other colors!

Dolce Vita Helia Low Wedge Sandals

Dolce Vita Helia Low Wedge Sandals

I’ve been a little sandal crazy this month, and I just can’t get enough of these mini wedge sandals. They go with literally everything. They give you the gift of extra height without being hard to walk in. They make your legs look good. They are light, compact, and travel well. They’ve got the seasonal trendiness going for it with its gold hardware and chevron-V embellishments. Lastly, it has a rich snakeskin texture that looks as cool as carbon fiber from afar. These Dolce Vita Helia wedges have got to be the most chic mini wedge sandals I’ve seen this season so far.

Femini Shoes Pebbles Sandals

Femini Shoes Pebbles Sandals

My shoe closet is in need of a sandal refresh and there are just so many new styles I want to get. Luckily I discovered Femini Shoes’s great selection of affordable summery sandals in call kinds of colors, and I think I’m going to start with this classic black thong with a twist. I love this style of sandal because it’s minimal, but it keeps your feet strapped in well at the heel. The circle cutouts give it a fun twist which can easily be worn to the beach or poolside lounge. You won’t catch me on vacation without these, since there’s always a lot of walking and exploring to do, and I need a nice sandal that’s great for hitting the pavement but also looks great with everything. Available in four different colors, I think I want them all!

Gipsy Dharma Leather Boots For Women

Gipsy Dharma Leather Boots For Women

In San Francisco, there’s an event nearly every single weekend where you can experiment wildly with style. Whether it’s the How Weird Street Faire, Bay to Breakers, or Pride, there’s always an occasion to step outside in something you normally wouldn’t wear everyday. I recently found these handmade lace-up leather boots by Gipsy Dharma and thought they were just absolutely perfect for summer festival season coming up. Bet you wish you had these at Coachella last month, right? Embrace your inner forest pixie or Pocahontas in these supple leather boots with moccasin style feet. I love the warm tan color and intricate leather braiding that give it a unique touch. Of course, I adore the laces that are forgiving on any calf size. Although this is an indie designer find, this UK gem also ships to the US, Canada, and Australia. Basically all the other countries I’d like to attend music festivals in. And if you’re into cosplay at all – I think these could make for a great twist on Link! Just as long as you don’t steal my idea for Halloween.
