Miscka, those boots are SO delicious! I have the opposite problem of you, it''s hard to fit my calves into the boots - I have to always make sure they''re zippered! Love the colour of your purse, purple is so hot again this season.

Thanks! If they don''t fit I may just cry!

I am also asking for these for my birthday, but cannot decide if I want black or merlot? Black would be more classic, but the merlot is so pretty! Either way I also want the little socks that go in them in some fun colors.

other boots

At least they have a buckle that I could maybe tighten.

I confess, it was your purse that got me looking around. I had a deep purple bag last year but it was a cheapy so I wanted to upgrade. Hopefully some day I will get a gorgeous RM! I am a total sucker for nice leather. I have always loved the leather on the Lucky bags I see in dept. stores, and I found an insane coupon online for their site, so I hope it works out!

GET THE MERLOT!!!!!!!!!!!! A pop of colour in the winter would be so fabulous. Plus, everyone (including myself) wears black boots, you''d be totally rocking out in the merlot!

I had a deep purple purse last year too. Bought it on sale for 40$ and I managed to rip the lining out in less than 3 days. Tried to get it fixed, but the lining was of such terrible quality it would''ve ripped in another spot just as easily. So when this RM purse came out this fall, I was drooling all over it. I hope it''s a nice shade of purple, sometimes pictures can be decieving. I am a total sucker for leather as well, love the smell and the texture. I''ve never actually been inside a Lucky store...hmmmmmmm....

Post pictures when you get your purse and boots!

Haha, ok, ok ok. Colorful boots it is. The problem is I DON''T want to look like every girl I knew in undergrad with colorful patterned rainboots. I know these boots are different, but still.

That said, does the aubergine sway anyone''s Merlot vote??

First of all, NOT the same thing!

Secondly, with your new purple purse?! SWAYED!

All the boots !! How fun!

I''m considerably older, so my recent buys are a lot more conservative
1st pic is Via Spiga - Nordstroms. I have skinny minny calves and this is still a little big - oh well.

ok, 2nd purchase. From the discount member site Ideeli (sp). I haven''t received t them yet, but keeping my fingers crossed.
I''ve been looking for a cowboy boot, that didnt hurt my ankles and didn''t hurt my wallet either!! These were 114.00 at Ideeli (sp??)
and at Zappos they were 200.00 Can''t wait to scuff them up and make ''em look old!!

Agreed!! So what if they aren''t waterproof I''ll spray them and live with it. I have great winter dress boots that are waterproof for walking to work, but on weekends I wanted something more casual and comfy

Oh Canada. Love the winter fashion statements you force us to make haha.

I found some great shirts recently on sale at sears, and got a half cardi from Ross for a reasonable price. I found a pair of black flats that I wear with everything now too. I''m currently still after brown pants, brown heels, boots of all kinds, button up dress shirts, basic shirts to wear under cardigans, and lots of sweaters and scarves. I''m also really enjoying slouchy shirts now that I''ve figured out I look ok in them. I want to find some half tights, and a pair of gray pants. I''m also enjoying the idea of skirts with tights so am looking at outfits for those. And oh the shoes I am finding

I''d love to share ideas everyone, and if anyone knows where to find some cute brown heels, and some of the others above pls let me know.

HI:

It''s sweater season and found two great cashmere items--one cardy, one v-neck; 70 and 50 % off! Total score. Two other inexpensive but cute pieces from Dex. I wear them so much here that they are finished in one or two seasons--just got rid of three cashmere sweater sets that were pilled; they were inexpesive to begin with so I got my $$ worth out of them....

Meanwhile my DH is buying Prada winter boots full price! I think I''ve created a monster....

cheers--Sharon
