From the first time I saw these Modern Vintage Boots, I was immediately drawn to the cuff and have since become infatuated with all cuffed boots. Tall or short, leather or suede, I love them all. Although I decided on purchasing these, here are a few other pairs that caught my eye.

You can see how wet the sidewalks are from the rain.

Cupcakes from Vanilla Bake Shop

I celebrated a birthday last week (Thursday, to be exact) and opted for smaller, more intimate celebrations over one big event. While my birthdays of the past signified big parties, lots of people, and trendy venues, they've evolved into quiet nights, dinners with friends and, of course, cupcakes! We went to dinner with friends on Saturday and due to the rain, gloominess, and unreasonably cold temperatures, this was the first year I've ever worn winter boots and a long sleeved top for my July birthday. Regardless of the weather, we had a fantastic time. Thank you to Gabe and my friends and family for making my day (and the entire week) very special!

THE Boots

H&M sweater, Nordstrom leggings, Modern Vintage boots

I've always liked the name of THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas (as if it's the ONLY hotel to be considered). Well, that's exactly how I feel about these boots. To me, they are THE Boots and I have a feeling all my other boots will soon be forgotten. I had been eyeing these Modern Vintage boots for months but wasn't about to pay full price for them. Last week I found them on Giltgroup.com for an amazing price and couldn't resist! They're practically paying ME to wear these babies.
