October is here!

Does anyone else feel that the month of October just kind of crept up on them?  That's definitely how I feel now that the weather is changing and the color of the leaves are starting to turn. 
Fall for me means a few things fashion-wise; layering, flats, boots and scarves.  Naturally, I've gotten  few flats for the season and I'm pretty happy with both purchases. 

My first pair of flats for the season are my burgundy Tieks.  If any of you own a pair of Tieks you may understand the obsession.  I went back and forth for a couple of months due to the price of them and honestly, I wasn't crazy about the red they had in stock.  Then I received an email showcasing the new fall colors and burgundy was one of them.  I knew I had to have them and ordered right away. 
They don't come in half sizes, so I ordered a 6.  These fit amazingly right out of the box.  The color is a gorgeous deep red that I know will go with almost everything I own. 
Tieks signature on the shoe itself is a single teal stripe down the back of the shoe and 2 matching pads on the bottom of the feet.  I wore them all day the other day with no complaints whatsoever and had a number of compliments.  I own a few pairs of Tory Burch flats that killed my feet after about an hour of running errands.  You really can feel the difference in these. 
The shoes are just half the excitement though.  Tieks goes out of their way to include a hand written thank you note for your purchase.  With your order you also receive a little blue bag to carry your heels in, an adorable black pouch for keeping your foldable Tieks in so they don't ruin your bag and a pretty little flower to top it off.

Here are a some pictures I've taken:

 

 

How perfect is the shade of red?? Love them. 

Not only are they adorable, they are so comfortable! 

 

My other pair is by Jessica Simpson whom I'm not a huge fan of but I saw these on amazon and for the price, I really couldn't resist.  Who doesn't need ANOTHER pair of black flats anyway?  : )

These are special, they have a criss cross black elastic around the ankle that adds just a touch of femininity and uniqueness.  They were surprisingly quite comfortable too but definitely not a pair of shoes I'd wear around if I knew I'd be out and about for a long period of time.  They also ran pretty true to size.  I initially ordered a size 6.5 and had to exchange them for a 6.  I'm quite happy with the purchase. 

So here it is, we're going into the second week of October and I just received an email that my Stitchfix has shipped.  Looking forward to more Fall goodies!
