On My Wish List

necklace; sweater; white-and-gold pouch; lavender bag; swimsuit; rain boots; lipstick; pillow; decorative books

I recently discovered artist Ashley Longshore's work and I just love it. There are so many pieces that speak to me, but the one above is a favorite. How gorgeous are those colors? They're inspiring some of my wants this week. There's a colorful sweater to break me out of my current gray rut, decorative books in supercool antique gold for styling spare shelves, a flattering lipstick in the cutest case, the sweetest little girl's bathing suit, and lots more. 

What's on your wish list right now?

Never Thought I'd Be So Happy to Wear Rain Boots

 

On me: Trench, Hunter (old; similar--great deal!--here); jeans, AG Adriano Goldschmied; tee, Chance (similar in green here); boots, c/o Joules (on major sale!); lip gloss, Maybelline New York Color Elixir in Caramel Infused. On her: Trench, Gap; jeans, Old Navy; boots, c/o Joules. Photos by Jennifer Casson.

I don't know about you, but out of necessity, I have practically been living in snowboots so far in 2014. (I mean, I love you furry Sorels, but I am so ready to quit you at this point.) So it's nice to remember a few weeks back, when my daughter and I took advantage of a non-#snowpocalypse day to bust out some new rain boots. They're from Joules, a U.K. brand that recently came to the U.S., and how cute are they? I love the red bow on my high-shine navy pair (kind of adds a bit of happiness on a gloomy day, no?), and she's all over her pink polka dots. That Saturday, we threw them on with some almost-matching trench coats (she wanted one like mommy!), and spent a carefree afternoon jumping into every puddle in our neighborhood.

Do you have a pair of rain boots you love? And are you ready to go postal on your snow boots at this point, too, or am I alone in my snow rage?
