Fall essentials - ankle booties

Just got myself a new pair of gorgeous Ash suede ankle booties. Their sizing is somewhat irregular - normally I am 7.5, sometimes 8, in European sizing it is 39. Ash boots, at least this particular style, do not have half sizes, so it was between 7 (38) or (39). I chose 8 because the measurement listed was closest to the measurement of my foot. Unfortunately when I received size 39, they were way to large and I had to exchange them for size 38 which fitted perfectly.





Today I took the boots for a trial run - went with my family to a Please Touch museum, running after my 3-year-old, climbing a rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland setup, playing golf with the flamingo's and having tea with the Mad Hatter. Not a blister at the end of the day! Says something about the boots, doesn't it?:)

Questionable versatility of black pumps

Lately I keep wondering more and more about the versatility of black pumps. it seems to me they are not as versatile as most people believe. Take for example basic colors: black does not look good with navy or brown, then if we take bright colors, personally, I'd prefer nude pumps or perhaps silver or other metallic. With white I like to take an opportunity to wear bright shoes. So that leaves a lot fewer options for pairing up with black shoes even though I love them dearly.

For example today I've worn my black pumps with white pants, black t-shirt, and camel cardigan and added a bright silk scarf in orange to liven up my face, since black near the face is not an option for my skin tone.

Camel is pretty much the only color, besides the black itself, that I like to pair up with black shoes. So, if you think about it, the versatility of a black shoe is questionable. IMO

My bone cuff bracelet

This silver bone cuff is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. Another one I love as much is probably asscher cut diamond uternity cross.


It is so simple and classic

Trench coat for a baby

I got this itch to get my son a trench coat so that this fall we both could be wearing trench coats, the mother and son. Turns out it's not that easy to find one in infant size. The only one I liked was a Burberry one and it was very expensive, I felt bad buying him something he might not be able to appreciate while there are so many things he might enjoy that I could spend this money on, so I was hesitating to get the Burberry one and kept on lookng.

And finally today, when I went to get sushi at lunch time, I stopped at this store and saw the cutest baby trench coat for 6 month (He will turn 6 this fall!) and I absolutely fell in love.

Here it is:
