A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.

Belle, I was wondering when these were going to arrive on the blog! However, as much as I've seen them worn well, I've also seen some minor disasters walking to the DC streets in these. Perhaps a what to do and what NOT to do is in order?
I just bought a pair! Love them! I agree with Danae, some tips on wearing them well would be much appreciated.
Just an interesting piece of trivia, this type of two toned boot is traditionally a man's boot. It designates a man entitled to wear the colors of his hunt. A lady awarded colors wears black boot with black patent tops. No that it matters for fashion but my family rides and both my father and husband always point this out when they see this type of boot on women so I always wear solid boots. It made me smile when I saw these today. Have a great week!
A question for all readers – can you speak to the quality of Banana Republic shoes? I typically don't buy shoes from stores that are primarily clothing stores because I worry the quality will be sub-par.
@E, I have no idea how BR shoes are (any shoes that aren't leather always make me a little nervous). If you're looking for a similar boot in a similar price range as the pair Belle posted from BR but in a little better quality, take a look at these from DSW
