splurge vs. steal

j.crew booker vs. h&m riding boot

oh it is almost that time of year again....fall. i have to say if there is one season that i absolutely love to dress for it is fall. crisp cool days, warm coats with light knit cardigans. such cozy weather.

the first start to every season must commence with a few staples. for me it has to be some brown boots. i cannot fathom the idea of spending tons of money but i have already fallen in love with the booker boots from j.crew. last night however, i stumbled across these reasonably priced pair of stunners on h&m. so what will it be? splurge vs. steal??
