In Search of the Perfect Boot

I have been looking for the perfect boot since the last boot season. I want a nice flat plain tan leather boot without straps or a lot of embellishments. I found the perfect pair of Nine West boots last year but I was a moron and didn't buy them because they were too expensive. Note to self: you wouldn't be on the search for boots if you had just lived off peanut butter and crackers for a week and bought those boots. Lesson learned. 

Well anyways that leaves me still without the perfect pair. After much internet browsing I finally found a pair that were exactly what I wanted! Glorious! Joy!.....too bad they are $428 and way out of my budget. I know, I know, I definitely need these boots and I definitely seem like I could afford them according to half of the fashion pics I blog about, but alas, I usually blog about things that I want, not things I can afford (that's often why I blog about it).

But anyways have a look at these beauties and if you have them, let me know how wonderful they are. *cries into wallet*

Fashion Craving: Leather

Burberry

Lately, I have been absolutely craving leather. I know it sounds crazy, because the term is usually associated with food, but I feel that craving is definitely the way to describe it. The cooler fall temperatures have caused me to long for soft and supple leather, leather that has just the right amount of wear, in the way that I long for donuts. I don't always want them, but when I do its intense and I must get my hands on some or I won't stop thinking about them. While I like all shades of leather, I  am particularly enamored with the various shades of brown leather right now, from rich caramel to a deep expresso. My body simply needs to be wrapped in the sweet embrace a perfectly broken in jacket, carefully cradled in a luxurious leather chair, or carried away in beautiful leather shoes. Unfortunately, my budget doesn't allow me to go out and indulge my cravings so for now I must feast with my eyes.
