Shoe Shopping

Two simple words.

Combined, a lethal weapon to most men; 

to all women, their legal drug.

Shoe + Shopping =

Two words that I will never say NO to.

When Scot asked me to accompany him to find 

a new pair of black shoes; 

per my last statement, how could I resist this offer?

 Black tunic tee: L.A. Made
(great layering piece)

Gray jeggings: H&M

 Scarf: Filene's Basement 

(I miss the downtown crossing location so much)

Black studded shoulder bag: Urban Outfitters

 Zip up sweater: James Perse 

(of course it's from the Sample Sale last weekend)

Knee-high teal suede boots: Nordstrom

Aviator shades: Marc by Marc Jacobs at Saks

Necklace: Francesca's boutique

Ring: Gift from Greece (thanx Claudia)

Unfortunately, it was an unsuccessful trip for Scot.

Fortunately, I was able to score a pair of 

Black lace-up menswear style Charles David ankle booties!

 Patent leather detail on the toe and heel

 This photo is a little creepy,

like a severed leg kind of creepy;

but I kinda like it. 

 Lace up detail

 Rockin them with my pink knee high socks

 Menswear inspired detail

 Leopard detail inside the shoe!

Just like the lining inside a jacket;

you'll never see it, but it's like icing on the cake.

These would also look amazing with

 trousers or wide leg denim!

It's funny cz I actually found these shoes at Off Broadway, 

a store that I never go into.  

This just proves, that you'll never know what you'll find, 

so don't judge a store by it's cover.

Bohemian Bloody Mary

What's better than a Bloody Mary on a lovely Sunday afternoon?

Let me tell you.

A Habanero Infused Bloody Mary at Eastern Standard,

after the brunch rush, on a lovely Sunday afternoon.  

Here I am channeling my inner Bohemian.

 Cream leather jacket: Wilson's leather

Olive tank: Forever 21

Orange Boho Skirt: Vintage

 3 tier canvas/leather belt: H&M

 Leopard Handbag: Maxx from Jasmine Sola 

(R.I.P. former Boston boutique, currently known as 344)

Knee-high Teal boots: Nordstrom 

I love the layered look, as if I'm rocking suede leg warmers.

 Aviator shades: Urban Outfitters

Earrings: H&M

 Necklace: Claudia Bruno

She makes the most beautiful, edgy, 
one-of-a-kind statement necklaces! 
You definitely need to have one of her pieces in your collection!
