Blame it on the up and down daily temps or the fact that these days I’m not looking to be anything but comfy, but if you’ve seen me out and about over the last few weeks, there’s a good chance I was wearing sneakers.  Sneakers all day, every single day.  And can I help it that my new obsession just happens to be every damn where this fall, calling my name from every website and storefront I shop?  No, no, I cannot.

And I am not mad at it.  I’ve been hooked on the sneaker trend for a few seasons now – with jeans, dresses, skirts, leggings, all of the outfits.  And this fall, I feel like there are SO many great, affordable sneakers to be snagged.  (Because yes, I do splurge on handbags, but I just cannot pull the trigger on those very popular $500+ sneakers.)  So today I’m rounding up some of my favorite fall sneaks for under $100 – just click through below.  Which ones are you currently eyeing?

Remember this little metallic skirt from this post?  Well I promised myself I wouldn’t let it sit unworn in my closet forever, so today I’m taking her for a spin with a slouchy little sweater and those favorite sneakers again.  And will probably be re-wearing it for dinner tonight at the Red O.  Yep, dinner, because this year we are skipping Halloween.

You can call me a Halloween scrooge, but trick-or-treating in our neighborhood is seriously aggressive.  There is a house that was built to look like a castle that throws the biggest haunted house in the city and invites everyone in, so we get tons and tons of families passing through.  Last year we went through 750 candy bars by 7:30 and got yelled at by two disgruntled mothers for running out.  I’m not even kidding.

So this year I bought the usual giant mound of expensive candy, thought about Weeze losing her mind with every single “trick-or-treat”, and figured this year we could use a break.  Candy was returned, dinner reservations were made, and we’re taking our little hot dog to hang with her best doggo pal.  I know, I know – are we totally lame?  I don’t care, and I’m sure we’ll be back in the treat-giving action next year.  But maybe if you’re hitting the streets with your kids tonight, try not to yell at people for running out of candy.  I don’t know, just a thought.

Happy Halloween, friends!

If you ask me what my least favorite trend of the moment would be, my answer is hands-down, without a doubt the whole “dad sneaker” thing.  I mean what in the world are we thinking, fashion friends?  It’s gonna be a big fat NO from me, dawg, and while we’re at it, I’ll go ahead and throw in the Kardashian-esque horrendous bike shorts and tiny 90’s sunglasses that are flattering on literally no one’s faces.  More power to you if you’re into these things, but I’m just unapologetically NOT here for it.

Now something I can get behind?  Sneakers of so many styles and colors – just not the dad variety.  I’ve been on board the sneaker train for a while, but last fall is when I really kicked most of my booties to the curb in favor of my favorite comfy kicks.  I’m obsessed with this athletic-inspired pair, can’t get enough of this comfy grey pair, and have worn these leopard sneaks more times than I could ever count.

And I’ve already started adding to the collection this season starting with the metallic leopard sneakers above.  Y’all, these are fur-lined and seriously feel like walking on a cushy cloud.  I can’t recommend these enough for pairing with jeans, jogggers, my favorite faux leather leggings, or even this gold skirt.  (That look is coming to the blog soon.)  I also just recently purchased this pair that I L-O-V-E.

So today I’m rounding up a few more favorite pairs of the moment because when it comes to sneaker love, I just can’t get enough.  Hope everyone is having a great week!
