Black & Neutral Fisherman Sandals 

Madewell Maguire Marta Sandal

Everyone needs at least one pair of handmade fisherman sandals, especially if they were designed in Italy. This simple pair from Madewell have tumbled leather straps and a lush insole that will your feet comfortable all summer long.

Right now I'm picturing you in a linen blazer that has double lapels, a white t-shirt, longline denim shorts, and these black fisherman sandals.

Old Navy Chunky Heel Fisherman Sandal

These chunky lug sole fisherman sandals reminds me of my stepdad's go-to footwear when he's not working. Ever since I was five, he's always worn a pair of brown fisherman sandals with basically anything he could get away with. Now, I see the vision.

I think this pair is great if you've volunteered to help grill veggies on your dad's grill this summer. Nine times out of ten, he'll be rocking something similar so you can officially pester him by singing, "Twin, where have you been? Nobody knows me like you do" a la Muni Long's song "Made For Me."

Dr. Martens Archive Fisherman Sandals

I spoke way too soon! These fisherman sandals are basically a carbon copy of my stepdad's slides!

From the color to the design, they're going to give you a classic 90s look Plus, the air-cushioned footbed makes them optimal for walking around for extended periods of time.

Steve Madden Kayto Sandals

On the other hand, I'm all for simply looking cute during the cookout and believe there's always footwear options depending on your vibe. While this pair of sandals is similar to Old Navy's, they're a little edgy due to the thinner leather upper. They also have more of a heel which makes them a little more appealing.

Nine West Cazz Fisherman Slide Sandals (Brown)

There's a chance that may want to wear something that's a tad more modern! In this case, Nine West knows everyone doesn't love the closed-toe look so they've designed these cute fisherman slide sandals!

They have an early 2000s appeal that makes me think of a time when low-cut jeans and crop tops were very popular. If you need more of a visual, think Mariah Carey during her Butterfly era.

Clarks Orianna Twist Sandal (Off White Leather)

Want to go for a lighter color? Try these Clarks fisherman sandals. They have a Contour Cushion insole combined with a lug sole that's lightweight. We love our heavy footwear sometimes, but summer calls for effortless style!

You can also wear something that has more of a chunky heel like these sandals. They're great for anyone who wants to go for the stylish milkmaid look due to their raffia design. If you take great care of them, you can pull them out every summer.

DSW Holis Sandals (Tan Multi Raffia)

One of the top reviews for this sandal says, "So comfy and perfect for summer. Easy to wear and a nice neutral pop to any outfit. Can't wait to wear all summer," which lets me know they're going to be an instant hit for you. All you need is a white t-shirt and cute pair of jeans so that the main focus is on the sandals.

We already know that Dr. Scholl's puts the "comfort" in comfortable footwear, but I'm willing to make a case for their designs now, too.

They're sustainable, have an adjustable buckle, and are crafted to hug your foot. They're also more modern than your average pair of fisherman sandals, making that a plus for anyone who doesn't want to feel like they're fully committing to this trend.

The same goes for these platform wedge fisherman sandals! They're a lovely denim blue color, lightweight faux leather upper, and are quick-drying if you ever find yourself stepping into an unexpected puddle.

What Are Boo Baskets?

Boo baskets are Halloween or fall-themed gift baskets typically filled with candy, seasonal decorations, and fun crafts that you can surprise your significant other with to celebrate the season. While videos of this trend usually show people giving their baskets to their “boo” (pun intended), it’s not limited to just your partner. You can also make one for your friends, your parents, your kids, or even your pets if you wanted to!

What Do You Put In a Boo Basket?

Just about anything can go in a boo basket! If you’re creating a basket that’s specific to your loved one’s interests, the possibilities of what you can include are endless. But based on countless TikTok videos and Instagram reels posted about this trend, the general formula for a basket that I’ve noticed includes a cozy item, a mug, a fall-themed drink mix, snacks or candy, a stuffed animal, and (of course) a basket big enough to fit everything!

First, The Basket

Technically, any big basket or container could be used to hold your boo basket items. However, if you’re the kind of person that likes to go all out when gift-giving, I would recommend a Halloween-themed basket like the Andemie Halloween Collapsible Organizer from Amazon. Not only does this basket come in multiple colors and patterns, you can easily flatten the basket and store it anywhere you want, so you can reuse it next fall.

Candles, Body Care, Sweaters & More … A Cozy Girl’s Galore!

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to getting all relaxed and comfortable, especially on a chilly, rainy fall day. Personally, there are three essential elements to my lazy days – an oversized sweater, some gourmand scented body care, and a candle that makes my entire apartment smell like walking into a bakery. If this sounds like you, here are some of my favorites.

This sweater from the LoveStitchesCo shop on Etsy has quickly become a staple to my “lounging around” outfits this season, and for a good reason. For only $26, this sweater is made out of 100 percent cotton, has a wide size range available (S to 3XL), and can be customized to whatever color you’d like. Plus, the embroidered design is absolutely adorable; who doesn’t love ghost kittens?

As the weather gets colder, many people (like myself) opt to swap their perfumes and scented lotions from fruity and tropical notes to warm and edible notes like vanilla, caramel, honey and chocolate. If you’re looking to spoil your boo basket recipient who likes these kinds of scents, Sol de Janeiro recently released a limited edition body cream in one of their best-sellers, Cheirosa 71. Fragrance notes of caramelized vanilla, white chocolate and toasted macadamia nut will have you smelling like a snack (literally), while moisturizing ingredients like macadamia seed oil and tucumã butter will keep your skin feeling silky smooth.

If you’re a candle lover, then you already know that the best place to find candles for every season is at none other than Bath & Body Works. Sure, there are plenty of pumpkin scented candles to try, but if you’re looking to include something in a boo basket that screams fall, Autumn Chai is the perfect option. This three-wick candle has notes of cinnamon chai, French vanilla, and caramel – a great combination if you’re looking for something cozy, but not too overwhelming.

Drink Mixes

Hot chocolate is one of the quintessential cold weather beverages, but if you want to be more creative with your drink choice, Target’s Favorite Day brand has a spooky-themed hot cocoa mix that would be a great addition to your boo basket. One box comes with two cocoa mixes and a marshmallow confetti mix shaped like beakers you can find in a science laboratory, and when combined with warm milk, changes to an orange or green color. How cool is that?

And Of Course, A Mug To Match

You got the perfect fall drink for your boo, but what mug would go with it the best? At this stage, I think this is where you get something that is the most personable to your boo basket recipient. You could include a mug that matches their career or their favorite hobbies and interests. If you want to play it safe and stick with a Halloween theme, this 15 oz ghost mug from Target is spook-tacular!

Plushies Make Everything Better

Who says that stuffed animals are just for kids? Not only are they fluffy and come in all shapes and sizes, giving a stuffed animal to your loved one is one of the best ways to show that you care about them. As a plushie connoisseur, my go-to pick for a boo basket would be any plush, like this pink llama from Warmies. Each cuddly buddy is lavender-scented and also serves as a microwaveable heating pad that can be used to relieve stress or soothe muscle aches and pains.

Don’t Forget the Candy

No Halloween basket would be complete without candy! From chocolates to gummy worms and sour WarHeads, there are so many options to choose from that it can seem overwhelming to pick just one. And if your boo basket recipient has any dietary restrictions, it can be even more difficult to find something that fits that person’s needs. My twin sister has been vegan for almost five years, and before we both moved out from our parents’ house, these dark chocolate coconut bars from Unreal were a staple snack for the whole family. Not only are these bars certified vegan and gluten-free, each bar only contains three grams of sugar and three ingredients – coconut, cassava syrup and dark chocolate. As someone who isn’t vegan, trust me when I say that when you try these, you won’t want to go back to the name-brand chocolate.
