Now that the weather is getting warmer, but not exactly hot, it’s time to trade in knee high boots for shorter booties. Luckily, when it comes to shopping for ankle boots, there’s a pair for every budget. Here are my top shortie splurge and steal picks for early spring.
Splurge: Acne Studios Jensen Suede Booties in Black from FORWARD by Elyse Walker ($560)

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)

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)
