Paige DeSorbo is the final boss of Amazon fashion—and not just because she hosts her own livestream on the platform. The former Summer House star might be on Jeff Bezos’ payroll, but her closet is an actual goldmine of affordable ‘fits. I mean, c’mon, she wouldn’t dedicate hangers to three identical cardigans if they weren’t worth the coveted closet space. It’s still Manhattan, land of the sky-high rent and nonexistent storage, even for Bravolebrities.
Oh, and Paige’s latest haul?? Just might be her best work yet. In fact, it’s basically a cheat sheet to fall shopping. The Daphne founder shared all her current fave shoes and accessories from Amazon, and everything (!!!) is under $100. Thank god our girl doesn’t gatekeep.
She kicked off the latest episode of her series, The Paige DeSorbo Show, with a burning question from fans: “Paige, what shoes are we wearing?”
“Let me start out by saying, I never was a loafer person,” she admits, “I just thought, ‘Hmmm, not for me.’ I don’t really like wearing a flat [but] all of a sudden ballet flats came in style, loafers came in style, and now I can’t stop.”
And while she adds that “it’s getting a little colder” and boots might be a more obvious pick, there’s still time for flats! Especially this patent leather version and the $50 burgundy loafers, which “look exactly like a designer brand” and are made with leather that “feels more expensive than it actually is.”
Sure, Paige is all about flats this fall, but she isn’t proposing you skip boot shopping altogether—actually, it’s quite the opposite! Once you’ve added those styles to your cart (and maybe this cutie balletcore pair too), take a moment for some soul searching.
What does your closet need? What does your heart want? This tall fold-over boot that can carry entire ‘fit? Suede kitten heel booties you’ll wear on repeat? Maybe a classic knee-high design like the pair shoppers wore for miles without so much as a blister? The world Amazon shoe department is your oyster!
Here’s the problem, though: If you buy a new boots, you probably need a bag to go with them, and maybe a pair of earrings or sunglasses too… This JW Pei style is so hot right now (the asymmetrical silhouette is everything to me) and Paige’s favorite buttery-soft leather clutch could easily pass for Bottega. Don’t even get me started on the brown suede hobo that screams nepo baby money but costs just $33.
The TL,DR? When Paige says “add to cart,” consider it a command.
