Stuart Weitzman Lowland Over The Boots Review: I really hope my mom doesn’t read this post because she would kill me if she knew how I much I spent on a pair of boots. However, I’m a big girl and it’s my money so I can make my own decisions. In case you aren’t familiar with the SW Lowland Over The Knee boots, the price is pretty steep, but I’d say the quality lives up to the price’s high standards! It is definitely the biggest splurge I’ve ever made on a pair of shoes, but it was well worth it. If you’re looking for sleek, comfortable, stylish and timeless all in one boot, the Lowland is your gal! At first, I was worried that they would be too tall and high up on the leg for me because I am only 5 ft, but I think they fit perfectly and hit at a flattering spot on the the thigh.

Sizing: I normally wear a 6.5 in shoes, but I usually like to size up to a 7 in boots so I can wear thicker socks. However, with these boots, I had to stay at my regular 6.5 size. Reviews said to size down, but since I normally size up a half size in boots I decided to go with my normal size and they ended up fitting perfectly. The size 7 would have definitely been way too big.

Funny Story About The Boots: Ok so you know how when you get a new leather bag or pair of boots, you take in a deep breath of that new leather smell? Well, I was in my room trying out new lipsticks when the boots arrived and I immeidately took them out of the box and pulled one towards my face to smell it and what do i do? I get a big freaking merlot kiss mark on the inner part of the boot! I was like, “I guess this is what I get for spending an arm and a leg on a pair of boots!” Thank goodness that the mark is on the inside of the boot and I was able to get most of it off!

Good Afternoon readers and Happy Halloween! I just got to New York for the weekend to celebrate the launch of the Jenn bucket bag. In case you missed my first post about the handbag I designed with GiGi New York, you can view it here–> The Debut of The Jenn Bucket Bag. Also, make sure to check out my features interview on their site at giginewyork.com.

I still can’t believe I actually have my own handbag collaboration with such a remarkable fine leather and handbag company! Designing my own bag with Gigi New York was just a mere fantasy of mine until I got to tour the Graphic Image factory in New York this past year with the owner, Tom Glazer. It was during that tour that things quickly started to fall into place. Tom’s passion and enthusiasm for the company inspired me to get creative while we were in the place where all of the magic happens, the design room! We (A Pinch of Lovely, Kaela Rodehorst Photography & myself) got the opportunity to view all of the bright-colored new leathers for spring and summer 2015 as well as potential new handbag styles. My excitement got me a little carried away and I started describing my dream Gigi handbag design.  Much to my surprise, Tom immediately went for it and said, “Hey, let’s do it! We can do a handbag collaboration.” I just about died when I heard those words come out of his mouth, but that didn’t even compare to when I first laid eyes on the sample of what was going to be my very own handbag that would soon be available for everyone to buy. Gigi New York’s amazing team made the collaboration process a cinch for me. All I had to do was tell them exactly how I envisioned the bag and they got everything down right to the very last detail. I of course got to test everything out and make any necessary changes before it went into production.  I am so grateful to Gigi New York for this incredible experience.  It has been the opportunity of a lifetime and something I’ll never forget.
