TREASURE AND BOND LEATHER BOMBER JACKET AS SEEN IN LOOK 1:

No.1 on my list of steal vs. splurge fashion finds is this super luxe leather jacket from Treasure & Bond. The deep chocolate brown shade is very hot for fall 2024 and I love the genuine leather that’s aged for a vintage appearance. I wear an XS in this effortlessly cool and classic wardrobe staple and it fits true to size.

SHOP NOW

SAINT LAURENT BOMBER JACKET:

This splurge option from Saint Laurent is to die for! The brown is a little darker and deeper and the fit is a bit more oversized than the more affordable counterpart. I love this jacket’s added details, such as the straps on the shoulders and the full-sized pockets at the front. It’s an investment but something like this can easily last years in your closet if cared for properly. I wear a size 2 and it fits true to size.

STEVE MADDEN MULES:

Next on my list of steal vs. splurge fashion finds are these 2 pairs of mules. The steal version is from Steve Madden and I cannot get over how gorgeous these heels are, especially for the price. The pointed toe will elongate your legs and they come in a trending silver metallic shade as well as deep red for fall. Did I mention they have a price point under $100? What more can a girl ask for?!

SHOP NOW

SAINT LAURENT MULES:

The splurge option is from Saint Laurent and I have to say the biggest difference between these 2 pairs besides the price is the texture of the material. This pair features a satin crepe finish that really elevates them to the next level. I also love the kitten heel on both pairs, especially since that style is one of fall’s hottest trends!

STEVE MADDEN LEOPARD MULES AS SEEN IN ABOVE LOOK:

My next steal vs. splurge fashion find is rolling 2 fall trends into one! Leopard print and kitten heels are both tapped as huge trends for fall 2024 and this gorgeous pair of mules has all that plus an amazing price point of just over $100! They’re incredibly comfortable to boot, so give these mules a try and get the absolute best value for your hard-earned dollars.

SAINT LAURENT LEOPARD HEELS:

Another splurge option from Saint Laurent! Once again there are very few minor differences between these 2 pairs of heels, the biggest difference being the price. I also find the leopard print is slightly darker with more brown and black mixed in. Either option you choose, you’ll be right on trend with these fabulous mules!

BLACK BOMBER JACKET AS SEEN IN ABOVE LOOK:

This is such a great example of how the material of an item can completely change the vibe of a look. This chic cropped bomber jacket by Kut from the Kloth is made with a super cozy stretch-twill material that is so perfect for fall. It also has a more boxy silhouette so it’s best styled with a pair of form-fitting denim as opposed to wide-leg denim. I wear an XS and it fits true to size.

SHOP NOW

ALL SAINTS LEATHER BOMBER JACKET:

This cropped bomber jacket from All Saints is giving all the classic vibes and I am here for it. The smooth leather instantly refines and elevates the look of this tried-and-true wardrobe staple. The elastic waist gives a more fitted silhouette which I love and the silver hardware is the cherry on top! I wear a size 2 and find it fits true to size.

SCHUTZ HEELS:

Last but not least on my list of 5 steal vs. splurge fashion finds are 2 pairs of trending slingback heels! This style of shoe came back in a BIG way last year and I’m thrilled they’re still going strong. Both pairs feature luxe gold details with an adjustable strap and a pointed toe. The biggest difference is this pair has a slightly taller heel ( 100mm) and they’re a fraction of the price!

SHOP NOW

SAINT LAURENT HEELS:

This splurge option is once again from Saint Laurent and oh-so-fabulous! As I mentioned above, this pair has a slightly smaller heel of 75mm so they’re more comfortable for long periods of wear. They’re also crafted with real Italian leather. These tend to fit on the small side so be sure to order a 1/2 size bigger than your typical size. Either option will have you walking through the end of summer and into fall with a spring in your step!
