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.

    Happy super belated boxing day, Elaine! I love the color and gradient of these boots. I also prefer them folded down on you, with jeans. Congrats on the 100+ followers in this new year : D

    ooh, I love the boots! That is so great that they have the option of folding down. I’ve never seen that before. I have a pair of foldover boots that I’ve been forgetting to wear, I need to pull them out again!

    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.

    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!

Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom sensitive-tummy-approved cake from @jujulet! Cause life’s too short not to mark special occasions 🐶❤️🎂 

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

It’s an indulgence to be sure, but one I would 10/10 recommend for special occasions. 

Have you tried this type of treatment?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊

A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk abou A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk about here. 🫤 I’ll be reaching out to the company in question to make them aware of the situation, but I wanted to share it with you all as well. 

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.
