boots and booties

Canvas Cuff Boot - UO, $48
I usually stick with flat boots, so for me to get a boot with a heel, it's got to have something special going on. I like the cuff of this boot. Oh, and the price.
C2 Dragon Boot - UO, $114.99 (on sale)
Now this one just looks neat. I guess you couldn't really do jeans tucked in, but it would look cool with tights, no?
Frye Paige Canvas Boot - UO, $149.99
They have this boot in black too, but I think the brown looks much prettier. This would be a great casual boot, with tucked in jeans, flowy blouse, giant sweater... This one is definitely a contender...
Angles Motor Boot - Free People, $298
Love it when the boots come with dirt already on them. Saves me the trouble of stomping around in the mud to get that worn in 'yeah, I walk in dirt, so what?' look.

Marc by MJ High Heel Belted Bootie - Shopbop, $695
I honestly have no idea why I want these booties so bad. They have a heel. They're freaking purple. But... Marc makes girls do crazy things.
Some more reasonable, although probably more uncomfortable, options.
American Eagle Maddie Ankle Boot - Payless, $37.99
American Eagle Riley Slouch Boot - Payless, $39.99
I like this one a lot. Good job, payless.

DV by Dolce Vita Jordon Boot - Nordstroms, $179.95
This one reminds me of a kinder, gentler version of those crazy Balenciaga boots the Olsen's wore. And you know how I feel about anything even close to something MK would wear....
And here is where I get a little crazy with the price tags. But they're oh so pretty, aren't they?
Miu Miu Strappy Bootie - NeimanMarcus, $790
Wow, I hope grey is as big of a color this fall/winter as it was last... Love it!
Chloe Strap Wrap Open Toe Boots - Intermix, $895
Mmm I love everything about these boots, even the heel. Someday, I will own Chloe shoes... someday...
Peace and boots for everyone!,

i know it's still summer but...

The nail polish on 2 of my fingers is already majorly chipped. So it lasted about 4 days. Grr.
This weekend was super fun and seemed like it lasted forever. The weather was lovely until Sunday, when it poured like CRAZY all afternoon/evening. The shore got so flooded there were people swimming and canoeing in the streets, for reals. We all stayed down an extra night and went to Sunday happy hour, which is way more crazy and crowded then you would expect a Sunday happy hour to be.
I had two, yes TWO, birthday cakes. So much birthday love. :)
I re-wore old dresses but I still managed to look adorable - I guess you don't really need a new dress every weekend...
I took a half day at work today and came in at noon. It was lovely, but it means I have to actually get some work done now....
Hence the quick post. More tonight...
Peace and dancing in the rain,

fffffriday
Last night my mom treated me to a birthday mani/pedi. I haven't had a manicure in about 4 years because I they chip so easily but I couldn't resist a free one. Hopefully it will last a little longer this time.
I got into work a little after 7 this morning, which shocked all the old engineer men in my office because I usually don't roll in until close to 9. But I wanted to be able to leave for the beach today at 3 guilt free. I am very excited about the shore this weekend. Tonight we are going to celebrate my birthday, which means it will probably be like a regular night out but with people randomly yelling 'Happy Birthday!'. And maybe there will be a birthday crown involved. Tomorrow is the high school reunion for most of the people in my shore house, which means they will all be out of the house for happy hour I'll have a nice relaxing afternoon. Our plan is to sun ourselves all morning and afternoon, while drinking the perfect amount of wine to make us giddy and then sleepy. Then we're going to take a really bitching nap until the drunk kids return from the reunion.
I am trying to think of something with pictures to post in order to keep your attention. Can't think of anything at the moment. Maybe it will be a two-post kinda day...
Peace and fashionable Fridays,

the day after
Don't get me wrong, it was not an awful day by any stretch of the imagination, but for as long as I can remember I've always had like super fun birthdays. I remember growing up we used to transform our backyard into a carnival. My dad would make all sorts of games and each of my aunts and uncles and neighbors would run them. The entire neighborhood of kids would come. We had spin art and ring toss and face painting and relay races and sand art. (If you were a six year old, you would be totally jealous right now) One year my uncle even bought a pony! Seriously! My parents were so creative. I mean I'm sure the parties still cost a bunch of money but they were way more fun then any sort of Chuck E Cheese/Leaps and Bounds deal. (Both popular children birthday party locations when I was a kid, if you are unfamiliar.) As I got older I still had pretty awesome parties, mostly sleepovers. I had a surprise 13th or 14th birthday party, and surprise parties are always pretty fun. It's so nice to think that everyone at the party had known about it and had been thinking about you and the party and you had no idea! My 19th birthday was celebrated at my mountain house with a bunch of people from college and home, and beer. I was living at Lehigh during the summer of my 20th birthday so we had a pretty big house party, which the cops so lovingly broke up. My 21st birthday was a shitshow. I took a bunch of friends down the shore for the night I turned 21, which conveniently happened on a Friday. That Saturday I had a combination family/friends rager at my house that was also pretty awesome (think of my parents and aunts teamed up with my friends for beer pong, my uncles playing flip cup). People still talk about that party. Even last year I managed to get a pretty big group together at my house to celebrate my 22nd. This year I was just not that into it. Plus, nobody likes you when you're 23. :(
So I guess my less then fantastic birthday was my own fault, but at least I have a lot of good birthday memories! Plus, maaaybe there will be some celebrations down the shore this Friday.
Peace and facepaint,
