***Special thanks to Zappos for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.***
Every year, I invest in a nice pair of black booties because they are so versatile and can be easily dressed up or down for any occasion. This month, I have partnered up with Zappos to style this season’s favorite black bootie by Lucky Brand. Constructed with rich nubuck leather and featuring a side zipper closure and a wrapped block heel, these babies are great for all-day wear and walking around in the city.
Though my everyday outfit with these booties would be more like a cozy sweater and rolled up jeans, I decided to do something different for this editorial. I wanted to step it up a notch and show how these booties can really add sophistication to a more eclectic look as well.
This fall, checked anything has been a hit. I’m sure you’ve seen it — that grey checked blazer that everyone’s been flaunting all over Instagram. What else has been hot on the trend list? Polka dots, balloon sleeves, sailor hats, and your classic boy bag. Together, these pieces create a fun Parisian-inspired look! Now all that’s missing is the perfect solemate. When I think of Parisian style, elegance and class come to mind. With that said, I was looking for something simple, yet timeless.
After browsing through some booties on Zappos.com, I came across the “Shaynah” bootie by Lucky Brand. When it comes to online shopping, I can be pretty hesitant at times. Without being able to try the item on prior to purchasing, I’m often worried that the item will arrive, not fit, and I’ll have to go through the returns process. On top of that, many online retailers charge for shipping. There are just so many factors to a successful online shopping experience! With Zappos, my worries are at rest. The shipping is always free back and forth, and extremely fast. This is a HUGE plus if you’re like me and are anxious to receive your item quickly after you’ve purchased it. To top it off, Zappos has a generous 365-day return policy for all my indecisive shoppers out there. Now that’s something you don’t see very often.
This time around, my shopping experience was pretty straightforward. I received the shoes the day after I placed my order, and I was ecstatic! As soon as I opened the box, I knew that these ankle booties would perfectly complete the Parisian look I had in mind. I adore the fact that the block heel provides ample support, allowing me to walk in style all day long with ease and comfort. I am totally excited to wear these chic booties with more of my holiday looks this season!
Have you found any solemates you love from Zappos lately?

Firstly, your photos are amazing!! I love your outfit and those booties complete the look perfectly. I usually have a million black booties since they’re such a staple for the fall and I didn’t know Zappos had a 365 day return policy, that’s pretty amazing!
Mariann, I really appreciate all the love and support you’ve given me and my blog lately! You’re so sweet. I am like you — can never have too many black booties lol! I saw you wore black booties in your recent blog post too. They are just so versatile and perfect for any occasion! Zappos’ 365-day return policy is pretty sweet haha. Don’t know of any other retailer that has such a generous return policy!
I love this new editorial vibe! The mix of prints and the cap and finishing off the look with a chic pair of black boots is perfect! I am a HUGE fan of Zappos! Not only do they carry all the latest styles of shoes, their prices are amazing (always the lowest), their customer service and easy returns are totally worth it, and I get my shoes the next day! You can’t beat that especially for someone like me who likes instant gratification. These black boots are perfect for fall and winter and are such a classic style that you can wear them for years to come. What a fab find! xoxo, Christine

Thank you so much Christine! Means a lot coming from you as all your outfits are always on point. I couldn’t agree more with you on everything you’ve mentioned about Zappos. I am like you — super impatient and always about the instant gratification when it comes to shopping haha. It’s definitely a huge plus to be able to receive our goodies so quickly after we purchase them online! 🙂
OMG this series of photos is probably my fave to date on your blog babe! You are so gorgeous and I love the Parisian inspired look on you 🙂 Those black booties look really comfortable and chic! Great choice. I will have to check out Lucky Brand’s latest styles on Zappos!
Thanks Miranda! I’m glad you like this outfit. I’ll keep this in mind and create similar looks to this in the future! Yes, these Lucky Brand booties are super comfy and a steal from Zappos! Hope you’ll find something you love too xx
What a beautiful editorial! I am loving this Parisian look on you. Those Lucky Brand booties are surely a classic. I am a fan of shopping at Zappos too!
Thanks Denise! I’m glad you are a Zappos fan as well. It’s nice being able to get your items so quickly after purchasing online right?!
Sharon, you look amazing and I love these editorial photos. I’m a fan of these booties as well, love that heel!

Thank you so much Lauren! You’re always so sweet! I think you’d really rock these booties yourself 😉
I definitely think have a pair of black booties is essential, they’re a staple wardrobe item! xo, Brittany | http://www.theblistblog.com
I’m glad you feel the same way! Have a lovely week!
Such a chic look! I love the mixed prints. And ankle boots are my favourite, they go with everything.
Thanks Maria!
Your look is incredible! Besides the booties, your Chanel bag is my favorite. I love Zappos too. They carry the latest, ship quickly & easy returns. Great post!

Thank you Gracie! That bag is my favorite too LOL I wear it with literally everything! And these booties too… just have to take a break this week because we’re back up over the 100s. Back to flip flops for a while! Haha
This outfit is perfection girl. I love the blouse and skirt, so chic and these are the perfect black booties!
Kileen
cute & little
Thanks Kileen! Glad you like the look! xx
A good pair of black boots never go out of style. So you really need to buy them in every style available! Flat, heeled, thigh-high… hahaha I love your boots here! These ones look really comfortable to walk in too!
THE FASHANN MONSTER life + style
Omg so true haha I have a billion in my closet and can’t seem to get rid of any!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you with such a city girl look babe! You’ve always been a little like me with the whimsical summery looks but you pull this off amazingly!! Totally in love with how classic those black booties look and perfectly styled. This outfit actually reminds me of something that Anne Hathaway wore on Devil Wears Prada 😉 – Vogue chic if you ask me!!

Haha you’re right Helen! It’s just too hot in the desert to wear anything else but whimsical dresses, that’s why! LOL. Seriously it’s in the middle of October, we’re well into fall and yet it’s still over 100 out. Needless to say I had to go to LA for some cooler weather and to shoot something different 🙂 I’m glad you like how this look turned out! xo
I cannot get over how chic this outfit its! I am in love with the mixed pattern, booties – all of it!! I love that the booties go over the ankles, I’m not a huge fan of the ones I have that dip below them. I gotta try these out!
Thanks Sharon! I am the same way — I like when the booties actually cover my ankle socks haha. Otherwise I’ll have to wear those nude slip on type socks which don’t always stay on!
Omg what an amazing return policy! Lol..those booties are super cute. Very chic!
I know right?! I don’t think I know of anywhere else that has such a generous return policy. Maybe Costco haha.
I love this post! Your outfit is so cute. I also love the layout of your blog.
Thank you so much babe! xx
Well these beauty booties are just to die for ! I need these in my closet ASAP. Also, your photos are absolutely stunning !
Thank you Kasey!
What a great delivery, and return policy! I love how Zappos really care about their customers and providing great service. The shoes are so fabulous xx

Thanks Mercy! Lately, I really love to mix and match different prints! So much fun 🙂
Let’s talk about black booties!!! I have at least 20 pairs of them at home! I love black booties, they are so versatile and so easily to be style! I wear them during summer time as well with my maxi or mini skirts! Love this pair of black booties of yours, it’s so simple, versatile and elegant!

Glad I’m not the only one! LOL! My bf says I have way too many shoes and yet I can’t bring myself to get rid of any of them. It’s just too bad that it’s still so hot in the middle of October (we’re well into fall now) so it’s hard to wear these booties out here in the desert. But when I go to LA or anywhere cooler I never hesitate to take my booties with me!
AHHHHH I look forward to your photos so much cause you’re just so gorg xx. You nailed the Parisian vibes! I don’t think I can ever pull berets off LOL but I’m willing to give it a shot someday…. haha. I love, love, LOVE these boots!!! Seeing them on Twitter AND on Instagram made my day. They’re so sleek and classy. Everyone needs a good black bootie, especially for fall. Definitely need to check out Zappos cause I have like 1 pair of boots thus far. I need to stock up on a few more hehe. Thanks for sharing 🙂
With love, Jenn

Awww you’re so sweet Jenn! Thanks for following along and stopping by. I think you’d rock a beret — just need to find the right ones! Not all look good on me too so I’m pretty picky with my hats lol. You ought to give it a try! You may be surprised 🙂 hehe xx
Wow! I love how you put the two prints together: polka dots and checks. You look fab!

Shopping on Zappos.com can get addicting! Haha 😉
Oh my Sharon, if it wasn’t for the skyscrapers in the background I would have thought you were in Paris, no questions asked. This outfit is so Parisian chic and combined with those solemate booties you truly have created THE look of the season including every trend out there right now into it. I’m wondering if it was warm shooting that though as I know you’re still not below 90 degrees over there, haha. Miss you! Thomas xx
LOL! I wish I was in Paris! Not even close sadly. But I did drive from Palm Springs to LA to get these shots 😉 I’m glad you like the look! Yes, we are still in summer mode here. Today and tomorrow will be over 100 degrees so unfortunately I won’t be rocking these booties again over here any time soon…
I love this look on you, it’s different from your usual boho-inpsired outfits and I adore it! Such a chic look for fall with the checked skirt x polka dots, and the cute booties! Such a style icon<3 You should do more outfits like this!
xo Samantha
Thanks Samantha! I’m glad that you like this look! It’s getting a great response so I will definitely try to put together more outfits like this 🙂
This is such a beautiful outfit! I love how you paired that shirt with that skirt. It’s not something I would have typically done, but now that I see it on you I know it can be done well (I am such a wuss when it comes to pattern mixing.)
I also love those booties. I own booties in so many colors, but I need to pick up a pair of black ones. That’s definitely on my list for shoes to get soon!
Thanks Amanda! I’m not a pro at pattern mixing either but I think these two work really well together because the color palette is pretty neutral! 🙂 xx
Your site is so fierce and I absolutely love how you paired these shoes!
Thanks Brittany!
Your photos are amazing!! Love the booties!
