I’ll do a ‘proper’ outfit post, but in the meantime, wanted to show you my current wardrobe loves.  Got this Maurie & Eve jacket on sale via Mycatwalk.com and it is, in one word, amazing.  If you want to immediately touch my heart, give me some leopard print and leather… together.  These photos don’t do the jacket justice as there are pyramid gold buttons in the front, gold zippers on the sleeves, and the leopard print extends to the entire back.

Thanks to free overnight shipping from Endless.com, I received these Steven by Steve Madden Adeson Ankle Boots yesterday and I highly recommend getting them.  If you are a fan of front foldovers or flaps on boots, you will adore these.  The photos on Endless.com really don’t do the boot justice with the buttons done up all the way.  I initially had seen them on Shopbop.com so check them out there if you’re interested.  If I had the funds, I’d get these in a second color since they also come in black and olive.

Oh yes, and my hair’s shorter.  Making my life uncomplicated one step at a time.

XxXx

  4. Becs, I looove love love those boots! I tried to wear boots during the Hotlanta summer a few months ago and nearly sweated to death. I’m a 100% boot girl, but I can’t hack it in the summer- I sooo want a pair for fall though. Lurve the hair too :)

  6. You scared me! I thought you would cut it short-short. It looks very nice like this though and you are right, that is “one step” ;)

  10. Mmh so Chère Becs, actually I can’t help from saying that these Trendy / slightly destroyed denim shorts perfectly flatter your (utterly Radiant) “BOMBnextDoor” side !!!

  11. Your hair looks gorgeous! My gosh, it’s so freaking shiny and healthy looking. Your bangs frame your face beautifully.

    Also…

    Hi, are you me?! Haha. I am the exact same way. Plus, I sometimes wear too much leopard print and realize I can’t wear my leopard print oxfords with my leopard shirt/dress/scarf. Haha.

  17. Ahhh, Becs. It’s been too long. Great shopping choices…those boots are bananas! And I’ll keep that “leopard print & leather” tip in mind when I make my grandiose proposal. ;-) LOL
