Brown Girl Gumbo

In the celebrity-obsessed world that we live in, we see what the stars are wearing from their glamorous red-carpet moments to their mundane visits to the 7-Eleven.

Ever find yourself saying, “Ooh I want those shoes” or “She always looks so pulled together?” If you had to choose, what celebrity’s closet would you love to raid? Do you dream of rocking Mariah Carey’s incessant sky-high stilettos, snatching Kimora Lee’s luxe Louis Vuitton collection or donning Tracee Ellis Ross’ eclectic retro wardrobe?

For me, I’d have to raid Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon’s closet. She has an enviable sophisticated chic style with just the right balance of trends.

Share your closet coveting confessions!

Yes, booties are the “it” footwear for the fall, but who can go the entire season without a good pair of tall boots too? I may not be a “shoe” person, but when it comes to boots I can’t get enough! Although recently I’ve put myself on a super strict budget so I won’t be able to go crazy this time around. Luckily, I’ve invested in a few quality pairs over the years that will get me through this season. Even though I won’t be buying any boots anytime soon, a girl can still look!

From leather flats, to slouchy suede stilettos, there’s always a boot that will complement your style! Check out these that are all under $150!
