Boot Envy

We had our second snowfall for this winter this past weekend.  Refusing to be defeated by the weather and the road conditions, I set out for the gym in my new "rain" boots.  I call them rain boots but they are good for the snow and slush as well.  My trusty new Tretorn Plask boots was a purchase made on Gilt Fuse. 

These boots are fashionable and functional.  I have worn them only a few times but I have received so many compliments - at the gym, yoga studio, airport, just walking in the street - that it warranted a plug.  So ladies out there in the urban jungle, Tretorn Plask fits the bill.

Ring in the New Year Part II

I pulled the trigger, happy sparkly birthday to me!

Ring in the New Year

Happy 2010!!!  The new year always brings mixed emotions...excitement for what's to come and some sadness since the holidays are over.  No more vacation or holidays to look forward to until Memorial Day!  Fortunately for me, my "holiday" is always extended due to my birthday.  Yes, yours truly is a Type-A Capricorn and with a January birthday, it means the shopping season extends an extra month.

This year I am contemplating a gift to myself from David Yurman and never mind the fact that I started buying things for myself and called them early birthday presents starting in November.  Bailey Banks and Biddle was having a going-out-of-business sale and I scored a pair of real diamond earrings (my first pair) in late November at 40% off.  That, I said to myself, was going to be my birthday present.  Then, I bought myself a new coat with Thinsulate from J. Crew during one of their online "additional 25% plus free shipping" promotions and called that a "must-have" for the cold weather ahead of us.  Lastly, I scored a pair of earrings on Etsy that are similar to the Me & Ro pair that I had been eyeing for a couple of years at a lower price (skull studs with diamond eyes by Michelle Chang) calling them a nice weekend alternative to the diamond studs.

But a month and a half has past and I forgot about all those other self gifts when I saw some of the really cute David Yurman crossover and confetti rings.  I have the DY petite albion with a prasiolite stone that I wear on my right hand.  I thought a bigger ring on my middle left finger would be a nice complement.   The question is which one?  Surely I am worth it right???
