Shoesday Tuesday: We Need to Talk About these J. Crew Pumps

So earlier today my mom brought to my attention the most recent J. Crew catalog, and we were stunned by these stunning beauties. Look at them. They're stunning.

I mean, they're all crazy expensive and out of our budget (except the blue-gray ones which come in at a comfy $80). Still, I felt I had to make a last minute Shoesday Tuesday in honor of these heeled beauties. Perfect for fall and winter. Sure to be a conversation piece wherever you take them. I'd splurge on them if I had a life outside of work. Maybe I will again someday. 

*Le sigh.*

Let's admire one more time shall we? From different angles:

Clearly these are my favorite.

Breathtaking Dubrovnik: A Photo Diary

Today is all about my favorite port we went to: Dubrovnik, Croatia!

I had zero preconceived expectations for Dubrovnik because I didn't know much about it, other than it being the site of King's Landing on Game of Thrones. I am a HUGE GoT fan so I was pretty excited about this port. Well, it turns out I was absolutely captivated by the medieval magic of Old Town, which is everything you see inside the walls. The Middle Ages are my favorite history period, and because Old Town is perfectly preserved (or carefully reconstructed in some parts), I was having all kinds of history ogasms, as I playfully call it. I can see why it was chosen as a filming location for Game of Thrones. Now every time I watch it I'm always on the lookout for familiar views. And while I was there I was also trying to figure out which scenes were filmed where. 

So because this photo diary is so massive, I've divided it into sections. I'll start with my outfit + details and then take you through my day.

*My fellow GoT nerds: Keep scrolling near the end for a whole section on GoT.*

Shoesday Tuesday: Ankle Boots Galore! (+ $1000 Asos Giveaway - now closed)

So I read this Buzzfeed article about ankle boots and it inspired me to dedicate this week's Shoesday Tuesday (first one in a long time!) to my undying love for this shoe. So I went on a virtual window shopping kick and gathered these gorgeous picks for (mostly) under $100. 

Make sure you click on the arrow below to see there are two more pages!

These are the real winners though-- an unexpected floral print in rich tones, perfect for Miami "fall." Got them straight from the Buzzfeed article and then I stalked the Instagram of the girl who took this photo to see where they were from. They're from Asos. You're welcome. 

A lot of the boots above are from Asos, actually. 

And looky here, I'm currently hosting a $1000 Asos giveaway! Enter for your chance to win!

There's a lot of us but you don't have to follow everyone. But the more you do the more entries you get.
