Stuck in a puddle…
Hello Darlings,
First of all I would like to say that With Love… will be having a GIVEAWAY this Wednesday!!! Be sure to check back for your chance to win!!!
It has been raining for the past three days and I’ve been living in my Kors duck boots. Despite the fact that they are not average boots but rather somewhat unique and so would even say “ugly”. I will stand by them and say that they are one of the most comfortable, warm and functional pairs of shoes that I own. It is not necessarily the prettiest shoe out there, but definite one of my favorite for the past two years.
This shoe faces the weather that no other shoe in my closet can, they are seriously “bad a**”. Omg, I think that this is one of the first times that I’ve sworn on my blog! My apologies, but there is no other way to describe them!They are mainly rubber on the outside and super warm and fuzzy on the inside, which, in my mind, makes them the perfect Canadian winter heel.
The rubber sole prevents me from slipping, as it has a wonderful grip, the heel keeps me well above the ground and far from puddles or snow, the material top keeps my feet toasty, and the cute patent leather detailing on the heel and around the zipper makes me love them that much more! Ugly? Sure, but boy do I love them. Why? I have no clue, but I just do!
I’ve noticed, especially based on my last few footwear choices, that I really like unique- looking shoes. I think that it is my natural instinct to try and spice up my simple and neutral wardrobe. I think that a shoe for me is always the statement piece. They are always the loudest, boldest, and most outrageous part of my outfit.
I am wearing: Soia&Kyo Coat (from sportinglife.ca); Julie & Jack Cashmere Sweater (from Winners); Free People Tutu (gift from Andrew); Kors by Michael Kors Duck Boots (from Winners); Michael Kors Watch ( a gift from Andrew); Tiny diamond hoops ( a gift from parents).
Let’s take for example, my Saturday night outfit. I wore my favorite tutu— I just love how girly it makes me feel! I paired it with my new cashmere sweater, which I picked up from Winners on sale from $138 for $ 25 (this being hands down my biggest cashmere steal). On top the outfit was rather simple, but the shoes just worked for me! I know that some might disagree but they just work in my mind! I topped it all off with my pea coat and voila, a simple outfit with an outrageous – not to mention hated- shoe (I know that many of you don’t like it and that is a-okay!).I felt cute and proud, knowing that no crazy thunder storm can stop me from wearing heels and feeling fabulous!
I think that I am starting to speak of my clothes as if they were living objects, for all I know soon enough I will be giving them pet names! Hahah… just joking! Well, kind of!
So now honestly tell me,….
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
Wishing Everyone a Beautiful Monday!!!
With Love…
Marta

Haha, you’re shoe choices are definitely not conventional, but they stand out, and you love them, and isn’t the point of clothing (especially shoes) to make you smile?
I personally think that (like all your other shoes I’ve seen) they’re wacky but completely fabulous.
I love your boots and they look comfy! I like the plaid detailing. It has been raining here in Denver as well for the past couple days. I love that Free People skirt and I have been wanting to buy it for a while. Gorgeous gift from Andrew. xo

I like the way you wore it today with your leggings, perfectly as usual !
thank you!
I wouldn’t like to seem like if I’m stucking up to you but I really love these boots!
I mean, what is wrong with them? They are really cute and unique, and for sure make an outfit work. Of course you might not like someone else shoes… but I don’t think anybody would put down them…
Actually I’m pretty jealous because I don’t have a pair of boots like these to wear when the weather is not good…

Hi Anna,
But thank you, it is nice to hear that you like them!
Personally, I love those boots to death…I just know that some people find them to be too overwhelming
Although I’m not a massive fan of the boots per sae, you do a great job of pulling them off with such an effortlessly chic outfit. I just love that skirt!

Love the boots on you.
Love the hair too.
It’s been a while…the computer I had been using always took way too long to load your new blog for some reason, but last night I dreamt about you.
Not in a creepy way…don’t worry. But you were there, being sweet and maybe giving fashion advice?
Anyway, I tried again to load your blog today and VOILA! Worked just like that
Talk soon,
Lusty
PS I’ll return on Wed. I’m ALSO having a giveaway on WEDNESDAY but for a HOME DECOR, a first for my blog
I do like those boots! They are practical in a way, but still cute, and very fun!
the boots look like lots of fun!
Aw… they’re not ugly ducklings - I hope they didn’t hear you say that! (OK now who’s taking the clothes are living things thing too far?). In winter you need practical - god knows I’ve found this walking my girl to and from school everyday! But if you can find some that are practical and statement… pure shoe genuis! x
Hey Marta,
I actually really love the boots on you! I mean, I don’t think I can personally pull them off, but I do think that they add an instant oomph to your outfit
Good luck with your upcoming finals!
great outfit!
You have such creative shoes and they really do stand out and I think thats awesome! I wouldnt be able to wear those, but I think theyre fab on you!
I love the boots, and love how they change the whole outfit! They are totally unexpected, but I really like them! Are perfect with this outfit!
xoxo
Thank you Maria
