Boot Season is here!

I've begun the hunt for the perfect boots. "In" this season? Wedge booties! I must get my grubby paws in a pair of gray suede, wedge booties.


These Belle SIGERSON MORRISON Lace-Up Wedge Booties I think are super terrific!



Also pretty hot are lace ups. I have my eyes on a pair of knee high, lace-up riding boots. I hate that I love so much. Here are a pair of really cool Frye lace-ups. They're on the military looking side (which is very stylish this season). I think they would be totally cute with skinny jeans or with over-the-knee socks and a cute dress:



What are your thoughts for the season? What will you be sporting? Let's share!

P.s. I got most my images from Bloomies. They have been very inspiring for this Fall/Winter.

Funktafied (just a rant)


I'm in a mood today. I have no reason for it, I just am. It's my first day of work after a 4-day weekend. You think I'd be refreshed and ready to face the work day. Instead, I'm in a major funk. What's wrong with me, you might ask? Simple, I'm a girl. There really isn't any other way to explain it. It's that time of the month soon and as much as I try not to get moody, emotional and depressed around this time, nothing works. Every month I just roll with the punches and wait til it passes, but boy is it a drag.

This morning I woke up for work early but I didn't bother showering. I wasn't feeling it. So, I brushed my teeth(thank God, for my co-workers sake), washed my face, put my hair up and put on the clothes I had worn to dinner the night before. I couldn't be bothered to look for something to wear and I felt like a cow this morning so leggings and a large shirt, with a sweater over it, suited me perfectly.

As I'm writing this it's 1:37pm, I'm at my desk, willing the clock to move faster so that I can head home and get under the covers. I'm thinking tomorrow will be a better day. I'm a very optimistic person and this is what I'm telling myself until the day is through.

Oh, another thing bugging me? I'm trying to read, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I can't get into it. Mind you I'm only on page 15, but I'm having a hard time and so I feel like the only person that doesn't get it. Everyone else likes and raves about this book. WHAT IS MY PROBLEM? Ok, well, I'll try to read some more tonight. I hear it start getting good soon and that is what I'm hoping soes I don't start feeling like a loser about this too. Lame...

Falling Whistles

I've been meaning to write about this for a week, I just get side-tracked very easily. A few weeks ago I was looking online for a cool whistle. I walk my dog late sometimes and I thought it would be a good idea to get one since I never carry mace and It's a known fact that a whistle will render a psycho maniac paralyzed (true story). I ended up finding this website, Falling Whistles. Falling Whistles is a campaign for peace in Congo. 100% of the proceeds from the purchase of a whistle will go to restoring the lives of war-affected kids through rehabilitation programs and stateside advocacy.
If you get a chance, check out the website and read more about it. It's a really great cause and the whistles are pretty spiffy.
