I paid a visit to a vintage shop that I’ll do a ‘Shop Love‘ post about very soon. Pic #6 is me at the foot of the steps of the shop about to enter. God – I already know I’ll be going back in a few days.
***
I wore the GZ aka Elvis boots and am officially the best puddle avoider. Can you imagine me stepping ankle deep in slush in these?? Nahhh me neither. Not happening.

    those boots look even better on you than they do when you first introduced them!! love the way you styled this as always 🙂 also i love that you shop in the mens section — i’ve always been a fan of the way men’s clothes are cut (sometimes more than the women’s section!) xo

    Love the outfit today. As for those boots however… THEY ARE AWESOME!! I seen glitter winkle pickers in the mens section of a shoe store up here and I was very tempted! But, I would have no idea what to wear them with!

  50. ams says:

    ohh you look fabulous, I want your hat

  53. Karen says:

    Thx everyone!! The boots are also very comfortable. They run true to size. VERY narrow though. I had my cobbler stretch them a bit width wise and now they are perfect!!!!!

    Your Lady – pack warm!! Its really cold in NY. Not sure if it’ll change closer to your time but I doubt it! Shop wise just go around the east village, like 7th to 11th streets between 1st 2nd and 3rd aves : ) loads of shops. Also Williamsburg in Brooklyn!!!! Short ride from Manhattan.

  55. Joelle says:

    wow! your new boots look great!

  56. laurenjean. says:

    kisses.
