Sam Edelman Ankle Boots Review

I've been on the hunt for a pair of versatile black ankle booties to wear with both jeans as well as more office appropriate outfits.

I recently ordered two pairs of Sam Edelman booties - the BLAKE BOOTIE and the CAMBELL BOOTIE. I was able to get Nordstrom to price match the Lord and Taylor sale.

BLAKE BOOTIE: Retail $159, purchased for $92. The sleekness and pointed toe of this boot immediately caught my eye and I was beyond thrilled when I received these boots. This is made of beautiful, soft, sturdy suede and has a rubber bottom making them easy to walk in. The padded souls along with the chunky 3 inch block heel make these so comfortable to walk in!

Cash Back for Shopping - EBATES Review

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family, friends and lots of food!

We are in the midst of the holiday season and I'm sure everyone will be doing a lot of shopping.
I personally do a lot of online shopping to avoid the craziness in stores and malls. One way to get rewarded while shopping is EBATES. 

EBATES is an online cash back shopping program that allows online shoppers to earn cash back on over 2,000 retailers, including high end retailers like Neimans and Saks. I make sure to check the site every time prior to visiting my favorite retails sites - I've received cash back on everything from clothing on Norstrom.com to purchasing flowers on ProFlowers.com and even movie tickets on Fandango.com.

I've been a member since 2010 and have received over $700 in cash back.You can see from my current statement I have $95 pending, and it even breaks it down to the amount earned per transaction:

Be sure to sign up now and use this during the holiday season; there are many double or even triple cash back promotions going on. Here are a few examples:

New Ankle Booties & Recent Instagram Outfits

I'm sharing some recent purchases and outfits with everyone today.

I recently purchase a pair of light taupe colored booties by Kenneth Cole, the MIGHT DANCE BOOTIE. I love the light color and think it's' a great transition piece in early fall and spring due to the light color. The heel is a chunky block wood heel, but is lined with rubber making is extremely easy to walk in. I actually purchased mine at Marshalls for only $49, but the same pair is available at DSW.

I received some questions about this jacket. I'm wearing the Jcrew Factory City Coat in 00P.

Boots: KENNETH COLE
