Autumn is fast approaching and there's nothing more exciting about updating your wardrobe for the upcoming chilly weather. Footwear is a fundamental part of any outfit-here are some ways to update your fall shoe wardrobe without breaking the bank...

One pair of shoes, a hundred different looks...and pssst, shoe clips are also great for clipping into your up-do or jacket lapel to change things up a bit. Check out these handmade shoe clips from some great Etsy artisans:

Slugs

 

Slugs: dress up any pair of boots while keeping your tootsies warm at the same time. A novel idea, in my opinion...

Air Plants

Air plants are some of my favorite new design elements....especially for the brown thumbs like myself. Air plants need very little care and can be displayed just about anywhere!

They come in a variety of species, and all you have to do is give them a twenty minute bath once a week to keep them happy and living.
