YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
I FINALLY found the PERFECT cognac boots! I am SO happy that the search is over and that the ones I got are ones I’m absolutely in love with!
I FINALLY found the PERFECT cognac boots! I am SO happy that the search is over and that the ones I got are ones I’m absolutely in love with!
They are from Nine West and were 30% off their original price of $169. Behold:
I also had to pick up this gorgeous bag. The moment I saw it I knew it had to be mine (also from Nine West):
It looked so lovely with the black and white outfit I wore today. I can’t wait to use it. It’s larger than a clutch but smaller than a typical purse. You can buy it here!
Here’s what else I picked up today:
This pretty fairisle sweater coat from Old Navy (yes, it’s from the kids section and I don’t care, I love it! I got a size large and it’s perfect!) it looks really great on and it’s very warm.
This V-Neck sweater from Abercrombie & Fitch (it was an extra 50% off and came to like $15.) I got a size Large:
A little wrinkly, but this gingham shirt was also 50% off and cost about $10) I think it will look great tucked into a skirt with my navy blue AE long cardigan. I must comment that the customer service at A&F was actually good today, which is great. I was in line waiting to pay and when it was my turn, I saw a girl wearing the shirt above and I realized I had seen it on the sale rack so I asked the cashier to hold on to my sweater while I went to try it on. When I got back into the long line the cashier actually motioned for me to come forward and finish my transaction. I thought that was really nice since I had already waited in a long line the first time.
I also picked up this pretty jewelry at Charlotte Russe: (I was returning the boots I bought there last week.)
…and lastly, this eyeliner from MAC’s Tartan Tales Collection called “Lord it Up“…it’s a brown shade with a bronzey shimmer to it! The liners are all water resistant which is awesome. I plan to use this on my top lid.
That’s it for this weekend! I feel relieved that I pretty much have everything I need for our trip (except for hats and gloves.) The footwear was really my biggest concern. I may pick up a sleek pair of black runners but haven’t found the right ones yet.
Hope you all have a great weekend and happy shopping! BTW, I did check out the Nordstrom half year sale and I did try on a wonderful Laundry brand dress but I passed on it (it was still almost %150). I didn’t even look through a lot of the store because I didn’t want to tempt myself. Sometimes I just have to stay away!
Let me know if you bought anything today in the comments below!
xoxo,
Veronika.

Good choice on the boots! They are cute and Nine West is known for comfort. The purse is adorable as well.
As for me, I bought 3 pairs of shoes at DSW today (2 pairs of flats and 1 pair of gorgeous suede peep toe pumps.

I love the boots! I've always had good luck with Nine West's shoes. They just fit me really well, they're comfortable, reasonably priced, and tend to last for a long time. I also really like that purse. Super cute!

The boots are gorgeous! I like them even more than the CR ones. Good find! The bag is beautiful too and will go with so many outfits. I went to ATL outlet and bought a great black pencil skirt with a jacquard print and cute ruffle detail on the pockets. I also got a black/white flower print tank to wear with it under a cardigan.

Tracey says
Love the boots; glad you found a pair you love.
I have to say, if I were waiting in line behind you at A&F, I would be pretty miffed that they let you back to the front just because you wanted to try something else on, and I'm guessing if you had been the one waiting and you saw that happen you would complain about bad customer service.
[email protected] says
tracey- i was literally gone for a minute and had already waited in a really long line so they let me come back to the cash–but i get what you're saying.

B and R Events, LLC says
I went to CR and got the original cognac boots and a neat pair of fold over gray boots and walked all over Atlanta this weekend. Both were so comfy with no inserts. I am so glad you blogged about the sale at CR! I never would have shopped there if it wasn't for your blog.
[email protected] says
@B&R events- I'm really glad they worked out for you! I'm sad they didn't end up fitting me comfortably but it all worked out in the end with my new boots 🙂

Great haul – I'm loving the boots and the Nine West bag – would love to see modelling pics with the bag. The good thing about getting Nine West boots is that you know they'll be comfy for all that walking on your holiday.
The pink gingham shirt is lovely – I want one!
Lisa says
I really like the boots you got and am now tempted to get something similar. Problem is, I don't know what I would wear the boots with – I'm not sure any of my jeans would work with them. Any tips? I see you are wearing them with leggins in your photo, but I don't generally wear leggings.
[email protected] says
Lisa- those boots also work well with tights, skinny jeans, boot-cut jeans and even just with dresses 🙂 My favorite is to wear them with leggings but the above options are also great!
The Rambler says
Hi! Is this the black shirt you are wearing? https://www.loveculture.com/Item/ItemDetailView.aspx?StyleId=1020018
I love that it is long! I've been on the hunt for a basic tee to wear with leggings but want it to cover my hind end!! A Love Culture just opened not too long ago in Cincinnati, but I haven't been in yet. Have you bought other items there?
[email protected] says
@rambler yes I believe that's it, but in black! mine has a little button on each sleeve
Kristen says
Hi Veronika – I love these boots but the description on the website is confusing me…is the circumference really only 12 inches at the top? I have freakishly skinny calves but haven't seen any other boots with that small a measurement. Thanks!
