Just a couple of weeks until boot season begins. I like these Cl By Chinese Laundry Women’s Staff Patent Boots for this time of year. The icy blue hue to the Ash Grey color are pretty versatile and aren’t too heavy looking for Fall.

My nail beds aren’t exactly one of my better features. Regardless of what moisturizer I use, my cuticles are always dry. The other day I got learned that when your nail beds seem out to get you, try rubbing on a bit of hydrocortisone cream. I tried it, and it works like a charm. And it is certainly cheap enough and easily obtained at your local drugstore if you don’t already have some lying around.
I like Rite Aid Anti-Itch & Rash 1 % Hydrocortisone Cream plus Aloe – you get the benefit of the hydrocortisone and the soothing benefits of aloe – not bad for $3.99.
If you have ever wanted to give StriVectin-SD a try, you may want to place a Sephora order – right now they have a .35 ounce sample available as one of the three samples you can choose with any order. That’s roughly an $8 value – and enough to be able to use generously for a few days to see if you like it.
The problem I faced this week: All of my new Fall pants are on the long side. While I like my pants to hit the top of the front of my foot, I still need to have most of them taken up about half an inch, in order to get both the line I like and to not trip and fall on my face. And it’s getting kind nippy here, so my strappy wedges that typically take care of this problem are officially being shelves for the season. So it’s time to go looking for a new fall heel that covers all the bases that covers this time until we begin glorious boot season.
So in browsing Saks.com I came across these BCBG MAX AZRIA Lace up Ankle Boots
that sport a great oxford appeal. The versatility really appeals to me – the brown/black/croc vamp combo really makes it work with most pants, and the chunky 4″ heel keeps your hem out of your heel, and of course will make your legs look a million miles long.
Find them at Saks.com for $250.
