Shoe of the Month- Ciao Bella Riding Boots

It's January, and everyone knows what that means. Constantly trudging through sleet, snow, and hail while braving freezing temperatures. I don't know about you, but I hate wearing super high heels in winter, because I hate walking on top of black ice, simultaneously worrying about a) if I look cute, and b) am I going to slip and crack my head open on this sheet of ice. Thanks to my Ciao Bella's, I don't worry about either, because a) the boots are distinctive and cute, so I know I look good, and b) slipping is a lot harder to do when you aren't wearing your stiletto booties. 
I like that this shoe has a slight heel (1 inch), because they are wearable in winter without being fashion-homocide. My only advice- they can be a bit expensive, so I suggest getting them off of bluefly, but wait until bluefly has a good show sale. (You shouldn't have to wait too long for this as they have sales quite often) Click here to shop.

Your Guide To A Cute Winter Parka

If you live in a region where it's cold during the winter, you most likely will want a warm parka. It's so hard to find a cute parka, because most of them look puffy and ridiculous. But you don't have to sacrifice fashion for warmth with these cute ideas!


Guess faux fur- this jacket has a simple, streamlined shape + it's warm without being too puffy. + It comes in black and white, which both match with almost anything  Click to shop.


Toggles- a toggled peacoat is a chic, classic style. but try a toggled parka! This Urban Outfitters coat has the appeal of a toggled peacoat with some added warmth! Click to shop.


















Crop parka from Gap- this cropped parka has a unique cut & interesting shape. This parka is great for someone with an edgy style. Click to shop.

Long- you'll be sure to stand out in this long, fashion-forward ASOS parka. The high waistline is universally flattering + I love the wide faux fur collar. Click to shop





Bomber- if you don't want a super long jacket, bombers are great. This one is puffy but since it's smaller at the bottom, the puffiness isn't overpowering. I love the dark purple color, because you won't find many people with it, but it also comes other colors. Click to shop.

BuzzWorthy Beauty: The Best Hand Cream

There are so many products out there that claim to relieve very dry & cracked hands, but I haven't come across any that really work. That is, until I discovered Camille Beckman's Glycerin Hand Therapy. Honestly, this stuff really works! Even just a pea-size amount instantly moisturizes. It's thick and creamy and resembles more of a body butter rather than a liquid-like lotion, but it doesn't leave hands super greasy! They're also very reasonably priced. Not to mention it comes in a few great-smelling scents. Oriental Spice is my fave--it smells exotic and warm. Some other scents include, French Vanilla, Mango Beach, Tuscan Honey and White Lilac, just to name a few. Click here to visit the Camille Beckman website. :)
