Happy Friday, another week closer to the end of the year. Can you believe we are 3 weeks away from the holidays? What are the last few things you wanna get in before the end of 2014? Any resolutions pending? I've accepted that my 'Calligraphy' classes will probably roll over into 2015 -- as will my Code Academy classes, but I am making a solid attempt to cross "make rotis from start to finish" off the list. [Rotis are a type of Indian bread made from scratch]

WINTER WARDROBE pt. 2 // FREEBIRD & PAIGE DENIM

PAIGE DENIM: c/o ZAPPOS - SAME HERE - $169   //   FREEBIRD BOLO BOOTS: c/o ZAPPOS - SAME HERE - $275

So, it's been about a month since I received these amazing jeans & boots from Zappos, and the only thing that's changed is that I am even more obsessed with them. Paige Denim has a reputation and it's well deserved - you can feel the quality of the jean to the touch. As someone who rarely wears jeans, I think investing in one quality pair makes a lot of sense. There is longitivtiy in the brand and when you break the numbers down, it really is worth it. Not to mention, Zappos has an extraordinary shipping/return policy. I got my order within 2 days of placing it! 

The Freebird Bolo boots were the perfect pair for me. The dual zipper detail is actually really unique because I can adjust the fit of the boot - zipped up all the way for a more snug, sleek look and zipped down for a relaxed fit. Being as small as I am, a heel is a must. I loved the stacked heel on this boot because it gave me height without the discomfort of feeling like I was in heels all day. Perfection.

WINTER WARDROBE // FREEBIRD & PAIGE DENIM

PAIGE DENIM: c/o ZAPPOS - SAME HERE - $169   //   FREEBIRD BOLO BOOTS: c/o ZAPPOS - SAME HERE - $275

In partnership with Zappos I styled my new Paige jeans and Freebird boots. Nothing says fall like the sweet smell of new leather boots. Lucky for us, Zappos has an incredible selection of fall and winter favorites (not only shoes) that are cozy & chic! After I picked out my boots, they arrived within 2 days - like the very next day I got an email showing their location and estimated delivery time. It's like Zappos took the dreaded waiting game of online shopping out of equation ++ free shipping next hurts!

The website is so easy to navigate too. I knew that I wanted a boot with at least a 3 inch heel and brown of course. The perfect pair? Freebird Bola. With the zipper detail and buckle feature, the boots are vintage, comfortable, and seriously stylish. When you wear them, you can feel the high quality grade of the leather. Each pair is finished with extreme attention to detail. They go through multiple steps to ensure that each pair is one of a kind with a unique handcrafted finish so no two pairs are exactly the same - so cool.

I'd be lying if I said the boots were my only favorite piece in this outfit. To tell you the truth, I rarely wear jeans. If i'm wearing pants they are usually of the yoga persuasion, but Paige Denim jeans feel more comfortable then any pair of jeans i've ever owned. PAIGE designs pieces that you'll live in-jeans that go from morning to moonlight and I think they nailed it. You can truly feel the difference of high quality fabric. #worthit
