New Boots and a boxing day purchase

Posted on January 10, 2011December 21, 2014 by Elaine
I have so far been keeping up with my 2nd resolution posted here by taking pictures of outfits everyday.
Ok, ok I’m lying.  I’m only taking pictures on the days I actually get dressed LOL.  Honestly, yesterday I don’t think I changed out of my PJ’s at all except to go out for a couple hours.  And then I just threw on a pair of jeans and a sweater since I wasn’t going to be taking my coat off.  So my resolution will be tweaked to taking pictures when I actually get dress 😉
Here is an outfit from the other day featuring my new boots from Miz Mooz and one of my boxing day purchases from Simons which is a department store in Quebec.
Top:  Twik from Simons XS/TP
Belt:  Danier
Jeans:  Gap Always Skinny Cropped 00 (no longer online similar here)
Boots:  Miz Mooz Gayle sz 7 (from Haute Look)
Back view of the boots
They can also be folded down
They’re not PERFECT and I prefer them with jeans than with a dress but the gap isn’t too bad at the calves. I do love them though the leather is just so buttery and soft and they’re really comfortable to wear!  I can go all day at work and I’m good (I usually wear flats on the weekends).
And I apologize,  I just realized I should’ve measured them for everyone!   I will try to do that this week and edit this post afterwards.

    Really great boots.

    There were some great grey boots I was drooling over on ModCloth but they sold out.

    Seriously depressed.

    Your boots are lovely!

    That’s awesome that you found such versatile boots that you can cuff. When cuffed, I think they look better with leggings, but that’s just me. LOL. Anyways, great purchase and I’m looking forward to your giveaway! Congrats on your 100 followers! =)

    I love the color of your new boots…they appear to be a grayish-brown, so it seems that they can go with either black or brown.

    Congrats on reachng 100 followers! 🙂

    These boots are fantastic! I love how you can fold them down too and they look great with jeans. I also love this top from Simons. I always feel more comfortable in longer tops when I wear skinny jeans, and this one is right up my alley. Looking good!

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.

Getting to play with the re-release of @lancomeofficial #JuicyTubes has been such a fun throwback! ✨ I remember thinking they were the ultimate ~Cool Girl~ makeup product when they first came out and reading about them as a beauty must-have in every magazine (J14 anyone?! 😂) They were basically the “grown up” version of Lip Smackers! 

Gotta say, applying one of their trademark frosted, shiny shades now is making 12 year old me *very* happy. 

Now excuse me while I reapply Lavender Latte and blast some Britney 👄💿

Do you remember these 00s classics?

We had an amazing experience there and left feeling so full and so happy. The chef even made me a special entree (with no advance notice) when I wasn’t able to eat the other options because of my allergies 🥹. Now that’s service!

Their Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek stick is incredible. A cream-to-powder formula(!!!!), this baby is buildable, blendable, and beautiful. 

Plus, with just a drop of KJH.Brand Hyper Shine Serum, it transforms into a glossy, rich sheen of luxurious color. 

I’ve used it on my eyes, lips, and cheeks in both glossy and matte textures, and love it each time. It’s genuinely like having 5 products in one. 😍

Have you tried anything from @kjh.brand yet?

I truly love these @milkmakeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints and wear at least one daily on some combo of eyes, lips, and cheeks. The color payoff is 🤯, the longevity is 😍. They’ve got vegan collagen and aloe to plump and soothe skin.
