Boots for the Missus

Last week I got an email from my friend and fellow blogger Trixie of Memoir of a Missus soliciting some tips for which boots to buy this fall. You may think its strange for someone from Minneapolis to seek fashion advice from someone all the way from extremely humid Manila-- about boots! But hey, that's boots were talking about here and my fantasy closet cannot be more pleased.

I'd like her to get one of these...

The Elements:

1. Asos Attack Leather Lace Up Platform Boots, www.asos.com
2. Tory Burch Halima Suede and Leather Ankle Boots, www.net-a-porter.com
3. Out and About Lace Up Boots, www.shopruche.com
4. Givenchy Fringed Lace Up Low Boots, www.luisaviaroma.com
5. Jeffrey Campbell Lita Boots, www.solestruck.com
6. Dior Cavaliere Platform Ankle Boots, www.saksfifthavenue.com

but comfort is top priority for our dear mummy missus. Thus, the fantasy closet scours its racks and found these. 

The Elements:

1. Finsk Pony Skin Wedge Shoe, www.farfetch.com
2. Pam Project Suede Boots, www.lorisshoes.com
3. Tory Burch Patterson Riding Boots, www.saksfifthavenue.com
4. Tory Burch Howard Wedge Leather Ankle Boots, www.net-a-porter.com
5. Chloe Paneled Wedge Boots, www.farfetch.com
6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Suede Wedge Boots, www.net-a-porter.com

This way, mummy missus will get function and comfort without compromising style.

There you go Trix. What could be a more fitting birthday present to yourself than one of these? Hope you had a great one.

snaps from the weekend

Laid-back is an understatement to define the kind of weekend we just had. Since the little girl is still under the weather, we pretty much just stayed in most of the time.

A fitting, the Ipad, and a whole lot of lounging. The lazy yet rejuvenating weekend that was.

A sneak peek at our main event this month. A dear friend is getting married at the hometown and we are giddy with excitement.

Hubby and I are amazed at how fast she learned how to navigate this new toy. Now she doesn't need our help. She knows exactly where to tap in and out of her apps. Amaaaazing.

I was able to catch up with my monthly reads. And when the baby boss puts down the gadget, I get to enjoy it too. How? I purchased 12 issues of Elle for $8 US!!! (Get them through Zinio.) Now, I can truly say I appreciate technology. 

beautiful random things

On a hot lazy Sunday afternoon we decided to stay indoors and keep our cool. I promised to be unplugged as much as I could and spend some good crafty time with Le Misch but these images are just too enkindling, I couldn't help but share.
 

French inspired black and white wedding I came across here. I tell you, if we didn't have a turquoise and coral beach wedding in Bali, we would have had a black and white one in... Paris? Provence? Versailles? (Any French city will do!)

A dinner by the beach beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. How lovely is that? Found here.

Chloe Kid's Scallop Dress. I'm drooling for Le Misch.

Pebble-filled tray for the entryway. Simple and brilliant, I think. (Not that we use boots a lot around here.) More foyer decorating ideas here.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend lovelies!

I can't wait to Eat Pray Love

Read the book 2 years ago. Just at a time when it was most relevant to me. Not that I traveled the world to find myself. It was more so because 2 years ago hubby and I took the plunge in Bali, where Liz Gilbert (the author) found inner peace and balance of true love.

6 Oct, I can't wait.
