If one has to be stuck in the middle of winter with no spring in sight, why not do it in a pair of amazing, completely over the top (and knee, as it were) boots?
Yes, okay. Fine. Let’s do that.
I’ve been wanting a pair of the Stuart Weitzman Highland boots for ages and ages. They are incredible works of art in satin-lined suede, with a high-but-manageable heel, and more attitude than you can shake a stick at.
My parents came through for me and I unwrapped these bad boys as part of my 30th birthday gift. If I have to launch myself into another decade, let me do it in these boots.
I made ’em just a bit more casual over classic skinny denim and a super cute sweatshirt. A bit of shine in the form of a pendant necklace, my trusty Ray-Bans, and this girl was off for an afternoon of lunch with friends + errands.
Shop the look:
Seriously guys, I’m living in these boots. Total statement shoe, so many ways to wear.
Exciting things coming up on LSR next week: I’m getting all dolled up for a styling project. Hint: here comes the bride(smaid). Check back Tuesday!
