Fall Shoes

-



I love shoes. It seems like there are so many great options and uses for every element and season, there's always another good reason to buy a pair.

These are some of my favorite shoes I've found in the past year and intend to wear a ton this Fall.
OTBT Womens Lunar Bone Sneaker - 9

Tennis shoes are both practical and (for now) trendy. Thank goodness. Because I am not an uncomfortable shoe wearer. I have many pairs of slip on sneakers, New Balance and Adidas classics, and a pair of Asics for walking or running. These OTBT Lunar Sneakers were a huge splurge for me. I love this great floral pattern in subtle tones that's interesting but not juvenile. There is a line. I think these shoes are appropriately adorable for my age. And supportive. Which is equally important at my age, if not more so.

I. love. these. shoes. They are easily the coolest shoes I've ever owned. Like, I may not be cool enough to wear them. But I'm going to and pretend like it's no big deal. I just love the dusty eggplant color, especially for Fall, and I've also got many accessories in this tone. So it will be super easy to throw on any of those with these shoes, a top, and jeans and be ready for the day. Or night. Or party, or errands. I think they're that versatile. I've seen trendy versions of these and similar booties that are pretty hefty in price, but these were purchased on Amazon for under $45. Honestly, still a little pricey for my taste, but I decided it was worth it for these.

Women's Cute Western Cowboy Bootie 


I most recently purchased these booties for under $25 and they are so comfortable and easy to wear. I love how low they are so I don't feel awkward wearing them with skinny jeans or skirts. I feel like it's very odd when my boots cover my ankles and my jeans come down to my ankles and all of a sudden I have no ankles. You know what I mean? Plus they feel more casual, like flats, when I'm wearing them with dresses or skirts. Which I intend to do this season. A lot.




Madden Girl Women's Jagg Fashion Boot, Dark Taupe, 8.5 M US

Last, but not least, the quintessential tall boot. I personally think "brown" should also be assumed by the "quintessential" descriptor, but perhaps for you it's black, or leather, or western. My point is that a tall boot is always a classic. This boot is actually dark taupe, another one of my favorite colors, and in reality it's such a perfect, versatile color that goes with everything in my wardrobe. I'm very pleased with the comfort, the quality, and the price. Depending on your size, these range from $35-79.00 on Amazon. Probably very fair for the brand and design.

I also have a great pair of grey leather boots I purchased from the Bass outlet store years ago (best shoe brand ever) and some comfy loafers I've had for years and years from Target. My husband actually bought me a newer pair of loafers from Skechers that I have loved. These are, hands down, one of the best purchases you can make if you need a reasonably priced, decent looking, supportive and comfy pair of shoes for every day. So. good.

So there you have it, my two cents on Fall footwear. Hope you enjoyed it and maybe even discovered a new favorite brand or style.


Best,
Emily

Pulled Pork

So, one of the ways we work our grocery budget is by buying proteins in bulk at Costco. Their Kirkland's Smoked Pulled Pork is a little strong in the smoke flavoring, but we've found several recipes that could not be easier and provide a variety of flavors and dishes to get us through a week or so. Without further ado, here they are. The first, and easiest, dish is to just heat up a helping of pork, roast some veggies, and serve the whole thing with BBQ sauce. The pork comes fully cooked, so all you have to do is heat it. The photo above is the pork simply heated. We actually do prefer to cook it further in the other dishes, but this is easy and good, too. I also love a good BBQ pork stuffed sweet potato, or baked potato. One of my favorites is this Slow Cooker Pork and Apples dish I discovered on Pinterest years ago. The original recipe from katheats.com calls for pork chops, which I don't particularly love, but I used this shredded pork as a...

Follow Up

So, my last post was about my thoughts on the upcoming new year, 2019. Actually, my last post contained several recipe ideas for pork. But seeing as we are now two months into that new year, I thought it appropriate to follow up on the effects of the word "sanctuary" as my focus for 2019. I always go through a slump after the holidays. I'll be honest, I hate and dread that time of the year. January seems so hard and daunting and I just want to shut my eyes and get it over with. While I entered this year more hopeful than last, January did not disappoint. And by that, I mean it was quite the same as in years past. I entered my routine funk and slowly crawled out of it as February approached and then something quite miraculous happened. Prayers were answered and the sunshine returned and I began to realize a sort of peace I haven't had in a long time. God often uses hardship, not just physical or emotional, but also mental hardship to strengthen our community wi...

2020 Focus

-

I shared in this post last year that my "resolution" for each new year looks more like just one word, sort of like picking an area of my life that could use improvement or identifying something I find lacking and attempting to better incorporate that in my daily life throughout the year. For 2020, I have landed on the word "focus." Ironically, it wasn't very clear to me this year what my word was supposed to be, so it's taken me a while to organize my thoughts and write this post. Since Maggie has entered our lives, I have felt more scattered than ever before. It's been wonderful and my artsy brain secretly loves the lack of structure, but I find myself constantly wasting precious time, overly relying on my phone, unable to tackle the seemingly endless to do list that exists solely in my head. I have found myself going through periods of pretty intense anxiety and wariness and then returning to a sort of calm, with no real idea of what caused or e...
