BOOTED UP

Hola CHICsters *waves*,

Did you miss me? I sure missed you all *pinky swear*. As most of you already know, I'm fresh off a WONDERFUL 10 day vacay in sunny Miami Florida. I was there for Miami Carnival or known to some as Caribbean/American Festival which was last weekend, which is a time where all of the Caribbean islands such as Trinidad, Jamaica, U.S. Virgin Islands, Barbados, and Grenada (just to name a few) all come together to celebrate our lively culture with great music, parties or fetes (as we call it), food, and friends!!! If you have never experienced it ...IT'S A MUST!!! Later this week after I gather up all of the photos from the various events, pictures of all the beautiful costumes I will post them up here on the blog. Until then, it's back to my routine...





From swimsuits to sweaters *sighs* LOL. Although it was about 70 degrees when I came outside, I was still a little chilly because my body was already used to the warmer Miami temp :-(
Although I was slightly cranky that I had to even wear long sleeves, I was excited to pull out these boots that I got from Zara last Fall that I just adore. I love boots in general, and these had a masculine look to them, which is actually trending currently, that made me snatch them up and swipe my card immediately LOL...no hesitation!


The sweater is a Vintage DVF treasure I found while on one of my many thrift store adventures.








 These shorts was actually leftovers from the 47 pairs of distressed vintage denim I sold over a 2-day period this summer... (crazy right?). Hmmm maybe I will do a few more pairs, since clearly I'm one of those people that wear shorts year round LOL. That's what tights are for right?





The chocolate suede chain-strap handbag is also a thrifted treasure found in Houston, Texas. 


Here's a close look of the details on these boots...LOVE 'EM!!!!


The back of the boot has a little stretch which is great for people with larger calf muscles, like yours truly *side eye*



Well I hope you enjoyed this post CHICsters, showing another way to transition some of your summer pieces through the cooler months.

Enjoy your week
xoxo,
Osa

Weekend CHIC: Silver Lining

Hola CHICsters *waves*, I've been so busy lately that I'm ecstatic to finally have some down time. As the weather is transitioning a simple way to keep that evening chill away while still looking CHIC is to throw on a cardigan over your basic white tee and denim look. Add a pop of color with your handbag such as this Kate Spade New York pictured, and don't forget a scarf in a complimentary color to pull the whole look together. I usually wear sneakers, or flats on the weekends as I'm usually chasing my kids around the city, but if you are able to wear heels and still keep up, by all means a suede bootie with a small platform is a MUST. I love gray booties! It's such a great neutral for the season when you want something other than the classic browns or black.




Weekend CHIC: Silver Lining
