Givenchy Shark Lock Boots

The Givenchy shark lock boot. These babies have been around for quite a while now, years maybe, and I've had a crush ever since I first spotted them. I love their uniqueness - there is nothing like them! They look so cool over a pair of skinny jeans or with a silk shirt dress. Yes, they are definitely an investment piece, but they are something you'd have forever. If the tall boots aren't your thing, Givenchy has a whole line of shark lock pieces that I'm swooning over.

Feeling Fall

Sheinside Sweater (similar here & here) // Worth Collection Scarf (similar here) // Citizens of Humanity Avedon Skinny Jeans // Frye Shirley Over-the-knee Boots // Longchamp Le Pilage Tote

This outfit just screams fall. The colors and textures of this outfit, plus the backdrop full of oranges and reds... This is by far my favorite time of the year. These OTK boots are a go-to of mine for the cooler weather. They're a Frye staple, and have been around for a few years now. The leather is incredible and just gets better with time - they were a great investment piece.

Speaking of which, Shopbop is having their friends & family sale today. Take 25% off sitewide, so why not pick up a pair of these Frye beauties!? Use code FAMILY 25 here. I've already picked up this necklace, and am just dying to add this fur coat to my cart...
