Pajar boots

I would say I'm happy to have an excuse to wear these beautiful boots on this cold snowy day.  However, in reality I wear them all the time. Rated all weather, they are lined with wool and fur for warmth. Hence they are perfect for life in the mountains but chic enough for the city.

Pajar Natasha Boot

black, $190., $149.

 The interior feels like Uggs, but the aesthetic of the boot is much more fitted and feminine with a low heel. Furthermore, the high/low top of this knee high boot gives it an equestrian vibe. They are fabulous.

I purchased my boots locally at Yarid's with a gift certificate and coupon (they have impeccable customer service). These boots are worth the splurge!

Boots & DIY Jeans

Tall boots are in style and do not seem to be going anywhere.  Recently I have had a couple of clients with gorgeous boots and no skinny jeans or leggings. The problem: how to squeeze their boot or straight cut jeans into boots without them getting scrunched up at the knee.  The solution is all about the "tuck-and-roll" technique we learned in middle school (remember that with bucks?!?). You may have to try this a couple of times to get the tension right.

Here is a little borrowed DIY illustration on how to make your regular jeans work with boots:

*what is more budget friendly than making what you already have work?!?

Hello Winter

        

                                                                                                                                                                 




          Here is a laid-back inspiration outfit for the upcoming holiday weekend.  It's now officially winter, and all I can think about are the new bright Spring /Summer clothes from the runways.   But I must bloom where I am planted and embrace the season as it has really just begun. 


       As for achieving this look on the cheap...I imagine many of you have a striped shirt and some sort of brown shoe to pair with jeans.  The emerald green sweater is a fun punch of color; red would be just as pretty.  The outfit would have the same effect with black boots and a black coat.  Experiment and make it yours.  This is the perfect opportunity to shop your closet!
