CALIFORNIA LIVING, CANADIAN MADE
I’ve been going back through my OOTWW archives and found and outfit I liked, and wanted to wear it again this week. Wednesday November 25, meets Monday February 7. You’ll notice the size difference of the pants in those two photos. In November I didn’t have those pants tailored!
Stay tuned for some chicken parmigiana photos/recipe and some homemade pesto made with spinach rather than basil. Yum.
I’m on a boot kick (ha!) this year. I remember a friend and I were talking about finding the perfect pair, and where to buy them. She was even going to head to a local Equestrian shop to possibly pick some up. Which basically sounds like the most perfect idea anyone has had. The perfect riding boot!
A few months ago I was in a mall in Burlington, I popped into Zara and spotted a gorgeous boot which I really should have tried on, and eventually purchase.
Whenever I go into my local Aldo, Spring, any shoe store for that matter—I’m never satisfied the way the boot looks like on my foot. Primarily I think it’s because I want something that nobody else has. I like being different. I like wearing my Ireland bright red pea coat, but I also dislike seeing other people around me with a prettier red coat.
Envy gets the best.
Either way. I found some cute country boots from an Equestrian shop in no other place but … wait for it: England.
Aren’t they just darling? I want a pair. But I have to remember that these £ really equal a lot more $. So the De Niro – Hunt Boot Cesare With Oxford Top retailing for £ 428.94 are kind of out of the question. If I had money to blow, sure.
Want to know something neat? I just realized I spotted similar boots like the expensive (as in close to Christian Louboutin’s price range), at Zara. Zara is clearly a less expensive choice. But I still remember seeing these for about $300 at Zara. So, these boots pictured from Zara were photographed on my blackberry from November though. They probably don’t have them anymore. Do you have flat riding boots? I have a lot of heeled boots. But not flat boots. I need some next fall.
But it can be, when you hire someone!
I’m not moving, by the way.
There are so many people moving out of their houses during this time of the year. I have spoken to a few people on my lunch break at work and I know two that are selling their house for sure. During the winter time, I’m freezing almost 100% of the time, and I couldn’t bare to get packing and start boxing up everything when I’m cold. I now see why people say ‘spring cleaning’ because they’ve been boxed up in their home all winter long, not wanting to move, or pack – like me.
A couple of people were asking for suggestions for moving companies, and since all I ever had to do was really just move my bed, a dresser and desk from a one bedroom place into our apartment, I never really did go looking for moving companies. I did it all myself with a rental u-haul. Schumacher Cargo Logistics is a place that another someone suggested to her.
When we move out of our one bedroom apartment, we both agreed that we’d hire someone to move all of our stuff out into a house for us. There’s no way, with the amount of stuff we have at our place, that we can move it with just the two of us.
Plus, I’m kind of a weakling.
