Birthdays and Boots

Today's my birthday and I was quite surprised by my dear coworkers to receive the most wonderful and unexpected gift. Which I think is the best things about birthdays :)
As you might know I was previously gushing about Marc Jacobs cute little creatures.
And guess what I got?!

The cutest little bunny ever!

I will do more celebrating this weekend, which will hopefully include Chihuly, pie and possible crafts, we shall see what happens. I also broke down and bought some boots last weekend, Macy's seems to be the only one having really great sales, at least on what interested on anyway. I mentioned both of these pairs in a previous post. I wanted something pretty and comfortable .......that's where Bitsy came in. I got a cheaper b.o.c. pair first but they weren't as comfortable and the leather wasn't as nice.

Born does a really good job as far as comfort and construction go, but even though these boots are kinda wide at the calf you still have to have a mini wrestling match to zip them up even with skinny jeans.. so I will still be thinking about whether I will keep them or not. I kinda want a boot without so much heel and have been looking at these too.

Victorian meets equestrian

And these are pretty too, a little moto feel with all the buckles.

Also I'm pretty obsessed with this whole studding trend and I got caught up and bought these yesterday. But they aren't really comfortable and kinda pricey for man-made material in my opinion. I know you are paying for the hardware but still. I think these are going back.

please disregard my disheveled jeans ;)

I think they look cuter when you aren't wearing them.

Also I saw these awhile back in person and I'm starting to fall for them again as I see them all over online. So continues the boot saga.

Love suede and glitter combo

 

 

 

 

Fall Fashion: Boots

One of my favorite things about fall fashion is boots! I love the knee high boots, and the shorter  biker boots, and every once in a while a cute cowboy-ish boot will catch my eye.
But last weekend, I went to the new DSW by my house  and discovered a whole new beloved category of boots: the back zip boot! It' easier to get into and the zipper does not strain on the side of your leg, like some side zip boots do. I tried on these Madden Girl boots, I like the little motto inspired details but there was no support in the shoe whatsoever.

Then I found some Born back zip boots when I went to Nordstrom Rack. I was filled with excitement and anticipation of finding cute shoes in my size but it was not meant to be. I found some in my size they were just the worst distressed gray color and would probably not look good with anything.
I overheard a girl trying on shoes talking to her friend comparing shoe shopping to bra shopping, you just have to be in right mood. So true. I found some that were super cute, though they were not in my size,what I would give for smaller feet lol. I am loving all the studding detail that's trendy now, I like the mixed finishes but this is really cute too. Just the right amount of tough with the right amount of cute.

Dirty Laundry

On a side note I think these are perfect for a  mod meets goth Halloween costume aren't they fun?!
That's Mr. Campbell for you.

So these are the perfect boots. The ones I will be waiting for.....comfy foot bed, pretty fall leather, the ideal back zip boot.

Meet Bitsy

Ok more to come soon I'm off to sew! Hope everyone has a wonderfully fun Halloween :)
