{5} black boots i’ve been on the hunt for the LONGEST time for a pair of black boots. a pair of boots to wear with tights, skinny jeans, and knee high socks. and at the most recent macy’s one day sale, i found my match. it’s black, it’s equestrian like, it’s comfy, it’s got a great button on the side, and it’s perfection. say hello to calantha by anne klein!

{6} headbands i’m trying to grow my bow business and i want to make headbands. i’ve been looking high and low for structured comfy fabric headbands but haven’t found the perfect one yet, won’t you help me out so i can make you a bow headband? 🙂

have a wonderful holiday (for those in the U.S.) week!!
