An Ode to Boots

 

Let me start by saying that boots are my absolute favorite footwear.  In a good pair of boots, I feel I can go anywhere.  I own a fair amount, my favorite pairs being lucky finds: a pair of perfectly distressed brown Frye boots- which were not only on clearance but also the last pair AND in my size, and a pair of green vintage mens Hunter boots.  

This last pair I keep by our back door, soldiers at the ready for when I feel like exploring our small wooded wilderness.  While I was lifting them up today so that I might vacuum beneath them, I realized how underutilized they have been this summer.  This I plan to rectify as soon as possible with a jaunt in our creek.  

 

And now that fall is around the corner, I am looking forward to donning boots on a more regular basis.  Mostly I like to wear them over skinny jeans and cords, but they are so charming with colored tights or textured over-the-knee socks as well.

Do you have any trusty pairs of go anywhere shoes?  Are there any pairs you are looking forward to getting this fall?  I am enamored with the Turkish embroidered boots at Karavan, a store in the Short North of Columbus.  They are so wild!  I think they would look great with black tights or over dark wash jeans:)

Moses and Cassie

This video is amazing.  Cassie was an abandoned kitten that was adopted by Moses: he would even feed her out of his mouth!  A beautiful story of true friendship.

Wouldn't You Like To Go To...

...Urnatur?

I came across this beautiful nature resort from an Anthropologie email a while back.  The email guided me to their Anthropologist webpage, and this video.  Enjoy the serenity.



Urnatur is Swedish for "ancient nature".  Can't you just imagine little fairies and gnomes moving through the woods?  Here are some photos from this dream of a place set deep in the forest...

Throwback Post #1

Since there are only T minus 5 days until the New Year, I thought I'd write about some amazing times we've had this past year.  Throwback Post #1 goes to: Hocking Hills!  We spent Halloween weekend In an amazing cabin with these people:
 

It also happened to be my golden birthday on the 29th.

(Will and I went as Wendy and Stan from South Park!)

There were some cool old abandoned sheds on the property...

 

Will and I also went to Hocking Hills for our anniversary:)  It was our first date two years ago, and we celebrated by staying in this fantastic retreat called Silver Wolf Cabin, complete with hot tub and Majestic Wolf decor!

It was a perfect few days...

I can't wait to go back next year.
