Tretorn Kelly Vinter Boot

These boots are amazing!  I’ve made it toasty and dry through Vail, Michigan, Chicago and the little snow/ice/panic mix we had here in Nashville.  I chose this lovely waterproof style over these because of the lining and nice neutral olive color (not to mention sweet price at $70), and I’m so glad I made that call!

My Difficult Chair

I don’t think it started off complicating matters, but now…it risks being re-covered.

Hollywood Black and White Accent Chair

I feel like the pattern competes with other patterns and limits my color choices.   It’s really more of a cream color than the photo.  It currently sits with a cream couch and a gray and beige geometric (think Adler-esque) rug.  (eek!)  I’m moving soon (yay!) and would like to put it the new living room, which has dark brown leather couches.

Perhaps this chair should move to a bedroom?  My bedroom has stark white bedding (which I could be swayed to switch out!).

Do I re-cover it and save pattern for other decor (pillows?) or try to work around it?  Ideas?

Oooh J.Crew!

I occasionally frequently pop into J.Crew to see what’s new.  I’m loving the wispy colors – especially the “misty aqua”!

1. Corwin cardigan in Misty Aqua – It’s minty freshness!

2. Scalloped petal top in Soft Violet – I’m a sucker for anything with a belt or tie around the waist.

3. Ombré pearl cluster necklace in Salmon – Super versatile color.

4. Silk-twill del pelato shift dress in Butterscotch – Yummy!  But seriously, this is the perfect Winter to Spring transition dress!
