Denim :)

Jeans are an item that feels like finding gold when I find the "right" pair.  I don't think we ladies need a large quantity of jeans in our closets, but when you find a brand or style that flatters your body type, take note.  I find  as soon as I am really loving a certain pair, I cannot find them anywhere again.  Below are just a few of my current favorites and a few of the celebs I have written about in their fav jeans.  I hope this can help any of you out there like me, jean challenged.  Happy styling!

Review: The North Face Nuptse Fur IV Boots

I love, love, love these boots!  I first saw them on a girl and thought they looked so warm and comfy, I had to have them! Turns out I was right!  When they arrived at my door, at first glance, I was a little nervous.  I was used to winter boots like my Uggs, which I would say are medium weight.  Well, these North Face boots are VERY light weight.  The shiny material, which they call "water repellant ripstop fabric", made me very worried it would rip upon first wear.  It appeared to be that flimsy, however,  I am happy to say I have worn them several times and there doesn't seem to be any sign of tearing.  The material is unique and easily washable.  The boot is very lightweight but warm due to being lightly filled with down.  The cute fur trim gives the boot added style and warmth.  I wore these boots for the first time on an outing where I was going to do a lot of walking.  They seemed so comfortable at the get go, I decided to throw caution to the wind and take them along.  I was right.  I didn't feel at all like I was lugging around heavy feet (like I sometimes can in a "built for cold" boot).  It felt like the comfort of your most favorite sneakers, with the warmth of a good winter boot.  I did not test them in wet weather, but then again I probably wouldn't wear these if it were very wet or raining out anyway.  In a nutshell, these boots remind me very much of "moon boots" from when I was a kid, but these are the adult, stylish version.  I highly recommend.  Happy Styling!
