In NYC it’s all about walking and often running at full speed through the streets and avenues. Though heels may look nice, flats are an absolute necessity. Lately, I’ve been a huge fun of the lace up pointy toe flats. They look great with pants and (almost) give the look of heels with a skirt or dress. Here’s two fab pairs.
Splurge: Aquazzura Christy Leather Flats in Black ($675)
Steal: Topshop ‘Leather Kiss’ Pointy Toe Ghillie Flat ($100)

Lately, I’ve been fascinated by the newly iconic X Ring. Though it has nothing to do with X-Men or The X-Files, its fabulousness is totally out of this world. Whether you’re on your way to a black tie event or getting crazy at a music festival, the X Ring’s sleek and modern design is sure to be the perfect addition to your outfit.
While the price differences between fine jewelry and costume jewelry tend to be drastic, you can rock a shimmering X Ring no matter what your budget may be.
Splurge: Gold Diamond X Ring from Shopbop ($850)
Steal: Crystal Mason Ring from BaubleBar ($32)

Splurge: Sabine Women’s Faux Fur Animal Coat from Piperlime ($129)
When it comes to dressing up a pair of jeans for a day of shopping or a little black dress for a dinner party, nothing is more fun than a faux fur leopard print coat. Since leopard prints (especially coats) aren’t really meant for everyday wear, this isn’t something I would recommend splurging on unless of course you have deep pockets. Steal or splurge, a leopard faux fur will be the most Samantha Jones item in your wardrobe.
Steal: Leopard Print Faux Fur Coat Taupe/Black from Forever 21 ($64.90)

Splurge: Stuart Weitzman Lowland Women’s Over the Knee Boots ($785)
This time of year, one of the many things I wish for is a fabulous designer pair of suede over the knee boots. I just love how they can be sexy without revealing anything at all. Plus, they’re super warm and go with almost everything. This fashionable dichotomy is what makes OTK boots a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. Lately, I’ve had my eye on the “Lowland” over the knee boots by Stuart Weitzman. However, with a price tag of over $700, they are regretfully not a part of my winter wardrobe.
Knowing that a number of fellow fashionistas were being faced with the same footwear dilemma, I decided to search for a more affordable pair. During my search, I found a practically identical pair for nearly a third of the price at Goodnight Macaroon. Happy holidays (and shopping) to boot lovers everywhere!
