love: boots and booties

photos from brantano, j. crew, and mine


it's spring and you're probably asking: why in the world is she still talking about boots? one word- okinawa. in a few months, we'll be moving to okinawa, and if you're familiar with the small friendly island, they get their fair share of not just rain, but typhoons! not that you'll see me walking around outside in the middle of a typhoon, but this woman will need some rain boots! j. crew has a really cute one, appropriately named "weatherby" that comes in red, but i'll probably opt for their navy blue or black...though i may surprise myself and go with a red one! i just like the pop of red in the middle of the dark colors above.

my favorite boots of all time are my fryes "melissa button" boots- the ones i'm wearing in the picture. i wore them practically every day while we were in ireland a year ago- here, here, and here! my other go-to booties were black, which remind me of the black ones above. i wore them here and here. i'm not very tall so i like to wear black booties with black tights/leggings or dark jeans so my legs aren't as defined. ha! the brown boots above can look great with jeans or shorts! if you like the brown and black boots, you can buy them from brantano. they have a great selection and some are even on sale so check out their website!

what's your favorite boots or booties? thanks for visiting!

dog days are over

i've been enjoying florence and the machine since i first heard their music on the show "so you think you can dance". this song has a nice beat and that just makes me want to run in happiness.

about the outfit: my favorite part about this outfit is the necklace. it's such a cool calming color. i bought it at a cute boutique in orange county with the top, which has a lacey back that i was a nice touch. this is still in ireland, along the dingle peninsula, and it was cold so i wore a cotton jacket with my sweater leggings and yes, the boots. As you can tell, like my bag, my boots were almost a universal part of my outfits! hope to hear from your own travels! xx ~heidi

lovers in ireland/reign of love

i wore this on the latter part of our trip to ireland while traveling around the dingle peninsula. although most prefer the ring of kerry for the picturesque sea/cliff views, we opted for the less traveled dingle peninsula, which was also recommended by the locals and rick steves (our favorite european travel bible)! the peninsula did not disappoint as it had some of the most gorgeous scenery i have ever experienced. it was even more breathtaking and inspiring than i thought ireland would be. the photos do not even come close. AND we were just beyond lucky! except for a night in dublin when it was a bit rainy, we had the best weather- sunny, warm, and cool winds.
