Peanut Butter Riding Boots.

I am currently full-on in the throes of boot passion.  With fall approaching rapidly, I've been spending my days daydreaming of crinkling leaves and crisp Autumn air, and trolling the internet looking at pretty pictures of boots.

 Oh, Frye. I do love you so. Your boots are built to last and manage to be utilitarian and timelessly chic all at once. They may be a bit stiff at first, but they break in and become part of me.  I could live in your boots. They look equally as nice with jeans as they do a flowery dress.  A little edgy.  Love love.

Alas, since I can't afford these orgasmically beautiful boots, I've been searching for a cheaper less expensive option.

Nine West has recently launched a "Vintage America" line and its fringy, 70's style handbags caught my eye a few times.  The quality of the leather and the well-executed designs seem like a big step up for Nine West. So I was super excited to find these boots:

Although they're a little shorter and definitely not as pretty, they just might satisfy my brown riding-boot obsession. And I'll have $318 dollars left over to spend on Mochii.

These lovelies from Tory Burch are spectacular, although I think it's probably just her signature emblem that gets me on this particular pair. Maybe I could  just draw the two gold T's on my Nine West boots with a gold sharpie.

 But then along came Anthropologie, and the "Upwards" boot.  Even prettier than the Fryes, and more unique, I think.

But then I noticed something kinda weird in the last photo on the site.  Peanut Butter toast.  What does it have to do with boots?  Advertising gets pretty strange sometimes.  What were they thinking? Who came up with this photo idea?
"Hey, for the next shot, let's get, like 30 pieces of toast... and a jar of...jam!.. no.....PEANUT BUTTER!, and put the boots on them."
  --  "Like put boots on top of a stack of toast?"
"Yeah, on top of a big stack of toast."
 -- "I think  that's the best idea I've ever heard."
