Fresh Picks to Follow – Winter Boots

Hi everyone...Happy Friday.  I’m so happy that it’s the weekend.  I know I only had a four day work week, but it was really hard getting back after a long break.  I really had trouble this week trying to think of today’s topic until I did a little shopping after work.  After a quick visits to Anthropologie, I ended up in the shoe section at the local Dillard’s department store.  I immediately fell in love with a pair of Vince Camuto boots called the Beaus Chocolate.  Love them! These boots are a real beauty and they kind of remind me of a pair I wanted last year (can’t think of the name or the brand right now).  As I checked out several other boots in the store, I realized that I seriously need to update my boot collection. There are so many different styles to choose from this winter and I have been missing out. I had to pull out a couple of my boots this week because the extreme cold weather here in Florida.  A couple of my knee-high boots that I have are pretty old, I mean 5-6 years old.  There in great condition on the outside, but they are not comfortable at all.  In fact I wore a pair today and my feet are still recovering as I write this post.  Anyways, I plan on upgrading real soon, so I’ll let you know all about it when that happens.  Well, here are my top ten favorite boots for the rest of the winter season.  Do you have a pair of winter boots that you can’t live without?  How many pairs of boots do you own? Let me know.

2012: New Year’s Resolutions!

Have you made your New Year's Resolutions yet? I am a huge believer in creating goals for yourself, both long term and short term.  I think that setting some goals gives you the building blocks to help you achieve the things that are most important to you.  My list last year was pretty short and I really thought that I would achieve everything on the list. However, one year later I must admit that I didn’t complete every single task.  I’ve added some of the same goals from last year and added a few more.  Here’s my 12 New Year’s Resolutions for 2012:

1. Spend more time with my family and friends.
2. Go to church every Sunday.
3. Train for a half–marathon and improve my overall time.
4. Learn how to use my DSLR camera and enroll in a photography class.
5. Learn how to sew.
6. Save money, budget and pay down some debt.
7. Travel.
8. Read more books.
9. Get more sleep.
10. Continue to write, learn and explore with Moody Girl In Style!
11. Donate more of my time.
12. Take a deep breath and relax.
