Shoesday Sunday?! I mentioned this on my initial Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post, but the #1 item I buy (and YOU buy according to my analytics) are shoes! I use this sale as a time to update my shoe game for the new season and fill any gaps/replace anything that needs to be thrown out. Typically I shop for boots, a work shoe and a sandal. I went through and made a collage of my favorites, as Iā€™m not sure what you are shopping for. Just click on the image to be taken to the link! Most come in other colors and fabrics, I just shared mostly black and tan, since those are the basics! Okay so what caught my eye??

Vince Camuto Nestel Knee High Boot | Madewell The Perfect Vintage Jean (Similar but on sale) | Topshop Bandeau Top | Madewell Cardigan (old - similar here) | American Eagle Sunglasses

Like I said I always buy boots. I was drawn to Vince Camuto Nestel Knee High Boot and the Sam Edelman Hiltin Knee High Boot. I loved these because they were shorter and wider than previous years. Over the Knee Boots are still in, but shorter boots are coming back, in addition to boots that donā€™t hug your calves so tightly. Ultimately I think my favorite boot of the sale is the Vince Camuto Nestel Knee High Boot . Hereā€™s a breakdown of why. Ultimately the VC boots are only $10 more and Iā€™ll pay for that with comfort! If the SE boots were offered in a lighter color, it would have been a harder decision for me.

Vince Camuto Nestel Knee High Boot

  • $159.90 (Normally $239.95)

  • One of my top personal shoe brands, so I know the quality and comfort well

  • More comfortable than the Sam Edelman Boots

  • Prefer the light tan (tortilla suede) hue that isnā€™t offered in the SE Boots

Sam Edelman Hiltin Knee High Boot

  • $149.90 for suede or $164.90 for leather (Normally $224.95 and $249.95)

  • I also am familiar with Sam Edeleman, but I own more Vince Camuto shoes

  • Super easy to get on / no zipper

  • Love the pointed toe shape and heel

  • Praline is hue pretty, but too similar to current boots I own

OTHER SHOES I BOUGHT

  • Ankle Boots

    This trend has emerged over the last year or two and I am here for it! I LOVED these! They didnā€™t have any in store in my size, so I ordered a pair in black and in grey. I canā€™t wait to get them in! If you want other ankle boot options, I also liked these Jeffrey Campbellā€™s and these Treasure and Bondā€™s.

  • Loafers

    Iā€™ve been in the market for some new black loafers for a while now. I ordered these, but I may order these, because they are cheaper, similar, and a bit more modern! The loafers actually come in tons of colors, including nude and snakeskin, which are great modern updates, not to mention a great work shoe!

  • Fashion Sneakers

    I wasnā€™t really planning on buying any sneakers, but I own other Vince slip-ons and when I saw they were included in the sale, I had to get them! I got these black mixed media ones and love that they are simple and seasonless. They are super comfy and great for everyday life. A little but more pricey, but I liked these too! My sister liked these platform converse and these leopard sneakers too.

  • Sandals

    Last year my splurge shoes were also Vince, so it only makes since that they were this year too! These Heath strap sandals are gorgeous!! They didnā€™t have black or nude at all at my store, so I ordered them online. They arenā€™t supposed to get to me until August, so Iā€™m wondering if they shipped them late. I canā€™t wait to get them in and will let you know the verdict!

SHOES I DIDNā€™T BUY BC I ALREAD HAD

  • Ugg Slippers - These are the best! I wear them all the time and you canā€™t beat this sale price!

  • Booties - Tan booties are a must. I wear mine all the time! These are a great budget friendly option and these are kind of a splurge, but great quality.

  • Hunter Boots - Love me some rain boots! Great quality and a classic piece.

  • Strappy Heel - These are great for wedding season and just to have in your back pocket. These are a classic, I like this modern update (a heeled version of their super popular flat), andddd these are a great piece to wear into fall. If you need a close toed heel, this is a great option.

  • Mules - Love my mules!! They are easy on and off andddd can be worn pretty much during every season but winter. This is a nicer option, as it has a heel and these are a bit more laid back and is best suited for spring and summer.

  • Over the Knee Boots - I know Stuart Weitzmanā€™s are the coveted piece, but I donā€™t have that kind of budget right now, so these are my favorites - tie tops and pull ups. My personal OTK boots are Vince Camuto, but I own other Marc Fisher shoes, so I comfortable recommending them!

As far as shoes for Nick goes, here are some of his faves:

Loafers - He owns these in black and brown! Wears them alllll the time.

Work Shoes - He just got these for work! He thought theyā€™d be perfect more casual shoe, that will still look stylish.

Tennis Shoes - Nick doesnā€™t have a pair of casual sneakers that he doesnā€™t work out in, so I ordered him these and these to see to see which he likes better!

Boots - He doesnā€™t know I ordered these, but Iā€™m hoping he liked them!

What shoes did you buy / what are you eyeing? They are adding new styles all the time, so keep an eye out. You never know what will pop up!

P.S. I bought these jeans from the #Nsale and they are my #1 pick! They are already sold out, but you can find them full price here or find a similar pair on sale here.
