Button up your boots!

There are so many things that I love about fall. Among them:  jackets, scarves, and BOOTS! I’m a pretty tall girl and I have somewhat -eh hem- long feet. I’ve made peace with them long ago, but it doesn’t change the fact that larger shoes can be difficult to find. (in actual stores that is) I’m not a big “shoe girl”, but for years I have planned to allow myself to “invest” in a grand pair of quality boots that I know I will wear for years. Here are some that I particularly love even though most are still far beyond my investment range…

My tastes particularly gravitate toward the Victorian and I really just can’t resist buttons on shoes. What do you think?

I think my favorites are the second to last pair. I prefer flat shoes and those are just about perfect!

Because I’m still stuck on Gorey…

My dear friend and I are convicted that we must attend The Edwardian Ball together someday. Because I should be studying, cleaning, exercising, and all matter of more productive things, I have been researching a variety of costumes for us to wear when we attend! Etsy, once again, is my main source of inspiration. Here are few of my favorites! Have a happy weekend!

 I am such an Etsy fan because I really love the idea of supporting quality artists and crafters, but most importantly because I like to know where the things I purchase really come from. If anyone has any other suggestions for similar sites I would love to hear about them! Thank you!
