Tonight, I was bored. So I packed up my two-year-old, picked up my little sister and headed to the Philadelphia Premium Outlets for some exercise (aka. window shopping.) I could exercise all day, every day!
This was my first time at the outlets since the fall collections started appearing, so it was definitely an exciting trip!
Unfortunately, a big ugly rain cloud put a damper on our fun, so we only made it to four stores. But, here’s my favorite picks from what I actually got to see!
We started at Steve Madden and I fell in love with these shoes! I think I may go back to buy them!

Then we headed over to Diesel to check out their shoes. I found some that I liked, but nothing that really wow’d me! With the exception of these awesome shoes on sale from summer! Yes, that’s netting around the toes. Thanks to my lil sister for modeling 
So when I went online to find the match for this shoe, I couldn’t find it. BUT – I did find these fall boots which are awesome and I HAVE to have!!! They are so creative and you wouldn’t even know that it’s a wrap-around shoe. I mean, this is the coolest thing since the wrap shirts and sweaters… seriously.
Next was Aldo, which my sister pointed out has been advertising frequently in the Nylon magazine. I was surprised to hear that, since my impression was that Aldo did not target the same audience as Nylon. So we decided to go inside to take a peek. It was mostly what we expected, and not as exciting as we wanted it to be, but I did find one AWESOME pair of shoes!

Lastly, we went into Nine West, but that was a bore! Nothing too exciting, unfortunately, and the sales girls were just sitting there snacking on Auntie Anne’s pretzels. Looked delicious, but total turn off for my shopping experience.
So that was my personal first peek at the fall collections, and I can’t wait to get back to the stores to check out more.
Check back tomorrow for my official FALL FASHION PICKS from the top designers! BE EXCITED
Great shoes.. Love love love the net vamp ones…
hello. i am soon to be married and i really want the purple and blue pump. can you please tell me which exact outlet you got it from please and thank you.
Hi Michell -
Congratulations on getting married… I hope it goes perfectly for you. Since I did find these at the outlets, it’s often hard to find perfect matches. Here is a very very similar style being sold on SteveMadden.com. If you don’t like these, I’d be happy to try to find you some similar ones from another designer. Color-blocking is so in right now that I know someone has to have what you’re looking for!
