A Worthy Investment

Coat:  Zara (old, similar here), Dress:  Anthropologie (old, similar here, here), Bag:  Mansur Gavriel (also loving the backpack), Boots:  Stuart Weitzman, Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

These boots are my winter wardrobe rescue. My husband gave them to me for my birthday, and I basically wear them every other day.

Not only are they extremely comfortable, but they keep my legs super warm {a major bonus this winter since it's been the coldest since the 1930's}. Also, between all of the ice and my growing belly throwing off my balance, flats are a must these days. 

These boots have probably paid for themselves 5x over. 

If you're thinking of buying a pair, definitely a worthy investment in my book.

On another note, hop on over to my Instagram this week to enter a fabulous giveaway with Gold and Gray  Jewelry.

Happy Monday everyone!

Festive Flannel

Sweater:  Forever 21, Top:  J.Crew, Pants:  Nordstrom, Boots:  Stuart Weitzman, Bag:  Mansur Gavriel, Earrings:  c/o LilahV

Sixteen days until Christmas and I can't ~ nor do I want to ~ shake that festive feeling. When deciding what to wear in the morning, I find myself reaching for my seasonal favorites {holiday red being my color of choice}. 

No doubt you will start seeing some sequins and sparkle soon.

Happy Monday everyone!

5050

Coat: Vintage (similar here, and here for $65!!), Top:  Aritzia (old, similar here), Skirt:  Nordstrom ~ on sale!, Boots:  Stuart Weitzman, Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff, Necklace:  c/o LilahV, Lariat Necklace:  Forever 21

These boots may be called the 5050, but I was 100% elated to receive them as a birthday gift from my wonderful husband.

While I'm definitely a boot girl, I am super picky about boots. They have to fit my calves perfectly, which {with these chicken legs} is no easy feat.

I can remember my mother purchasing my first pair of good boots in high school. We searched high and low and far and near, but it was just impossible to find a pair of boots that would fit my {then even more twiggy} legs. We finally purchased the pair with the smallest circumference we could find, and then took them to a cobbler to have them taken in!

I know, I know...woe is me.

Anyhow, flash forward to these calf hugging beauties. I didn't know if I would like the elastic at the back, but once I put them on it was love at first step.

Happy Monday everyone!
