Boot Season

Confession, I loathe boots. I know, I know...I am weird. I also hate socks but will save that for another day {or more importantly not even bore you with that another day}. You will find me always wearing my beloved flats till the first snowflake falls. I refuse to be in those torture chambers a second sooner that I have to be. However living in Boston means I lose my battle with the boot pretty early on and will succumb to shoes that will protect my piggies from being numb. Thankfully this season there are a plethora of boots that offer style and function. What a concept! I rounded up my top three in each category to get you covered from a chic knee boot to an adorable waterproof suede bootie as well as the essential snow boot for our annual blizzards in these parts.

Winter Wear

Happy New Year friends, I hope you had a fabulous holiday break! It seems as though winter is finally upon us here in Boston and it's time to officially put away my flats and welcome warmer winter wear into our wardrobes. I personally loathe having to dress in a billion layers, wear clunky boots and a puffy jacket that pretty much adds thirty pounds to you frame but I might as well quit my bitching and try to make the best of the next few frigid months with some cute outwear, boots & accessories. I put together a few looks that I love for all different occasions but I also tagged a bunch more cold weather gear in the links below.

Holiday Gift Guide For The Kiddos

As my nieces get older we are buying less toys but I couldn't resist sharing a few favorites that are sure to make kiddos at all ages happy come Christmas morning...because let's face it, the holidays are meant for kids and nothing is better then seeing them rip through their packages at the speed of light.



Parents all across the land will likely despise this box of instruments from the incessant noise but kids LOVE to bang things & make music so who are we to deprive them of that happiness?!

Babies can be a challenge since they aren't too much into toys so I picked out this adorable vegetable collection of rattles & monogrammed stroller blanket that are too cute for words.

Laughing is the best...so for the little comedian in your life this box of jokes provides materials for days!

Calling all Star Wars fans, these light sabers are fun for a sword fight & this bedding is just plane awesome.

Keep your kiddo warm with this adorable hat that makes them feel like a superhero & winter boots that happily coordinate.

Fitbit is big among my nieces, I love that they all can get a color that they love.

J.Crew has the absolute best kids pajamas. I wish they came in grown up size. Make the gift extra special with some sparkly slippers.

How adorable are these little dolls made from up cycled cashmere?!

The Magic Eight Ball was such a fun gift when I was a kid. I am not surprised that kids still love it. My littlest niece told me this was on her list to santa.

I die over this pizza slice bag. Its SO good!

My sister in law once that the best gift she could give her girls was the love of reading. These personalized puffin classics not only look great on a shelf but will also help start a great collection of books for your kids.

These hover boards make me so nervous but i have pretty much heard every kid I know ask for them. I would pair it with these matching pads & a helmet.

Good lord I loved having an indoor tent as a kid...mine were not this cool but I absolutely adore this one & love that it comes in a slew of beautiful colors.

Vermont Bound

Its weird to write this but we are heading up North to avoid yet another massive snow storm that is expected to hit Boston this weekend. Since when does Boston get more snow then Vermont? Any who...we are heading to the charming village of Woodstock where you literally feel as though you have stepped into a Norman Rockwell painting. I can't wait to walk around town, indulge in some spa time and just be a lazy daisy with my love. I didn't have much time to shop for the trip thanks to a hellish week but if I could turn back time the below would definitely be on my packing list. I hope you all have a great weekend & Happy Valentines Day!

Cold Weather Wear

After a very fun but very cold girls weekend in Maine I am truly understanding how unprepared I am in the winter elements. While my friends were all appropriately dressed for the single digit temps, I opted for my favorite booties and not only destroyed them with the massive amounts of salt on the streets, my poor little piggies were frozen solid. So as Boston prepares for more snow I am on the hunt for some stylish snow boots that provide function as well as good looks to get me through the way too long winters of New England...Which is your favorite stylish winter footwear???
