Step Lightly | My Favorite Rain Boots

So as I'm sure most of the world knows, the East Coast is bracing for yet another hard hitting storm called Joaquin.  The weather around here at the Jersey Shore has been nothing short of rainy and windy and we are all bracing for some intense flooding.  After Sandy, there's not much we can't handle around here but there has already been some crazy stuff going on weather wise.

When it's raining,  I always like to make sure I'm prepared with some shoes that are comfortable, functional and cute at the same time.  Trust me, it's the key to staying dry, warm and happy.  I have found just that in these Michael Kors booties.  I have a pair of Helly Hansens that I wear all the time as well, but these booties match with absolutely everything!  If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen that I wore them today.  

The Helly Hansens I have are also bright pink, not as professional as these are. These shoes are easily transition-able and not uncomfortable to walk around in. Before I had originally bought these I had my mind set on rain booties instead of boots anyway, so when I found them I was very happy. I like the bootie style because it is much more wearable with any outfit both in and outside of the office.

What kind of shoes do you favor wearing when it's raining or snowing to beat the band outside?  Where are you reading from, are you in the path of Joaquin?  I hope you're all safe.  Thank you for reading and be sure to send me a tweet with your favorite rain boots.  

Affordable Halloween Tray Decor | DIY

So it is officially October and Halloween is just around the corner.  The house that I currently live in is one that last year, had the best Halloween decorations in the neighborhood (we moved in after Halloween).  I really have been trying to encourage the rest of my family to keep that tradition going but no one seems as enthusiastic about it as I do.  That's okay!  I am usually the only festive one in the household by default.  I decided to start decorating for the season and this is the first evidence of that.  Fun fact about everything used in this little DIY (except the Scotch Washi Tape)?  It was (almost) all from the Dollar Spot at Target!  Let me get started and show you how I arranged everything!

ALL ABOARD THE CRAZY PANTS TRAIN

Can we talk about these pants for a second?  The minute I saw them in the store, I was awestruck.  I have to be honest, I knew they were coming home with me as soon as I laid eyes on them.  Something about them just makes me happy.  As they're not quite the most relaxing pattern, I never really imagined myself wearing them to bed.  Honestly, I always thought about wearing these with black heels of some sort and a black top.  I would be the one to wear these right into the office.

As you can see in the photo though, I wore them to bed!  I was in a chill mood and put them on one day and looking at the pattern didn't make me dizzy, imagine that.  There something about these pants and how aesthetically pleasing they are and they aren't even more than three colors.  I picked them up at H&M last year or so and wore them for the first time recently.  I can safely say, they'll be on my body again soon.  That's for sure!

I want to know though.  What's your opinion on wearing these harem style, tight at the ankle pants out in public?  To the office?  With the crazy designs?  Tweet me your thoughts!  Thanks for reading!
