When my grandma threw away my favorite, brown knee-high riding boots, I was quite upset. I wore those boots religiously - honestly. And that was about a year ago.  It is odd that I have not bought another pair, but I just have not look. Okay, that is a lie; I have looked. But the boots were either too expensive, or they just did not meet my standards of the type of boot that I want. My boots mostly resembled the pair on the right, but it had a larger buckle at the bottom and the front did not crinkle. So imagine how I felt when I saw these Steve Madden Bankkler riding boots. I was happy! Okay, maybe it is a taupe color instead of brown, but it is so freakin' amazing! I can do without the top buckle, and the change of color is neither here nor there. And, the boots are for $80 instead of their usual retail price of $170. But the riding boots on the right from Winsdor is very affordable and they resemble my old pair of boots. Either can do, but best believe that I want those Steve Madden boots on the left. I am feeling more so towards the crave at this moment. Which would you go for?

(i.e. I got the idea of Crave or Save from cupcakes & cashmere. Go check her blog out, it's lovely!)
