Sending you love and best wishes for the happiest Christmas. I know the holidays can be tough for some, so sending extra love and extra wishes to those of you quietly carrying a burden of one kind or another.
I know it’s not yet the end of the year, but I spent a few minutes reflecting on the blog today and revisiting some of my favorite posts. Thought I’d round them up here in the event that you are glazing over while watching twenty four hours of A Christmas Story or on hour seven of your journey to O’Hare, where it is inevitably snowing right now, and need a little distraction…

Oooh, I have those No.6 shearling boots in a taupe-y color and I LOVE THEM. They’re still going strong after 4+ winters (and after I ran my first non-shearling pair of No.6 boots into the ground!) They are of the highest quality. I do highly recommend the mid-height heel, though, as I found it the most practical and comfortable (while still being chic) — like so: https://birdbrooklyn.com/5-39-39-shearling-suede-midheel-boot.html?color=steel+alaska+w++white+base
