Tips On Finding Tory Burch Amanda Riding Boots

Not gonna lie… these suckers are hard to find! I spent weeks-no months to try to find them! Also, when I finally found a pair, they were way overpriced! If you're having the exact same problem, read the tips below.

Tip #1:  Always target the outlets! They most likely have the boots at a lower price. You can take a trip out to the outlets, or you could do what I did (called). Click on the "locate my outlet" button to, well… locate your outlet :)



Tip #2: If you're planning on calling the different outlets, be pushy. Not "rude-pushy", but keep asking questions. Most likely, if you just ask, "do you have the amanda riding boots in a size 8?", they'll just reply with a "yes" or a "no". If they say ,"yes", you're good to go, but if not, ask if they could search around to see if they have some at a different outlet. 

Tip #3: Sometimes, as fall goes on, the outlets get more stock, so check back often! The people at Tory Burch (or at least the ones I worked with) are very friendly, but tend to forget. I had to call back at least 5 different times. 

Tip #4: After you call around, and you actually find a pair, do NOT wait to purchase them! These boots sell out within days. (One of the ladies I spoke with told me that they got a new shipment of the Amandas and they sold out within a couple of hours!)

Tip #5: Make sure to keep a good attitude. I promise- good things will happen :)


Good luck!

Preview Your Monogram!

When doing projects such as wood cut outs, stickers, ect. it is really nice to have a template made. After a little research I found three websites that will let you preview your monogram.

Go to printables>monogram prints> pick your style
I have had experience on this website and have learned that it works a lot better on a PC

*This website does not allow you to print* If you have a mac, macbook pro, ect. you can take a screenshot, and blow that up and print it out.

This is a screenshot from  the website above.
*This website does not print* Here is another website that you will need to take a screen shot with.

Enjoy!
