I love how the super trendy over-the-knee boot has become a wardrobe staple. Not only do they keep you warm and stylish, they pair effortlessly with jeans, leggings and flowy dresses. I equally love how we are seeing a shift towards a chunkier heel--hoorah for sturdiness--which is great if you experience winters with ice and snow, like myself.
Today I'm sharing some OTK boots that I would love to have in my closet. While I love a good deal, quality plays a big role for this kind of boot since there is so much of it. You want something that will look well made and stand the test of time (and cold weather elements!).

O U T F I T D E E T S : PONCHO | FREE PEOPLE SWEATER (SIMILAR, LESS EXPENSIVE OPTION) | CHIQLE DENIM (SIMILAR) | ALDO BOOTIES (SIMILAR, SIMILAR & JUST PICKED UP THESE) | FRINGE BAG | ALDO SUNGLASSES (SIMILAR) | LIPSTICK
Ponchos are huge this year and the time to wear them is now. I love the look paired over a sweater or snugger fitting, long-sleeved tee, however, it would look great over a leather jacket for some added warmth. With so many options out there right now, you can easily make this trend your own, no matter what your budget. Loving this stripe one & this poncho vest. I've linked a few options down below if you ladies are interested.
For the boots, I've been living in these since picking them up a few weeks ago. These are from last season, but new to me. I was coveting them hard last year but never pulled the trigger and they never went on sale. I finally scored them at 60% off the original price from the sale section, shocking they had my size--such a happy day!
If you're in the market for new boots, an ankle boot with a chunkier heel is the way to go for Fall (or over-the-knee; you can't really go wrong with either). The taupes and tans are super on trend, but black works too if that's more you. These have become an everyday boot for me so look for something that is comfortable to walk in that you can pair with denim, cotton skinnies & leggings.
On Friday, we had a bunch of friends over to watch the Jays game. Such a disappointing end, but what a great run. I'm not huge into sports but was definitely rooting for them. On the flip side, we had a ton of amazing food.
On Saturday morning, we headed out to Kingston to visit Marco's mom...
I went into Forever 21 the other evening and they had a ton of cozy, affordable items,great for Fall. I love chunky knits, faux leather & oversized scarfs for this time of year, so sharing a few finds I loved.
Long tail or side-split tops are super trendy, an inexpensive version is the way to go. I love the colour on that teal moto jacket & the v-hem on the grey sweater. I haven't tried a midi dress yet but love it paired with the little ankle boots & a floppy hat. Also, how chic is that faux leather dress? I love that the hemline is longer which is classy but also great for my taller girls.
I'm obsessing over waistcoats this year--essentially a sleeveless jacket--and they are a super chic third piece to add over denim or a long-sleeved dress. Those chunky-heeled ankle boots are real leather and a great price (my size is sold out, otherwise I'd be ordering them) & I own that stripe scarf in grey and wear it constantly.
Last year I bought sequin pants (3 ways to wear them here), which are great for the holidays, and you can't go wrong with an over-the-knee boot with a sturdy heel.
Happy weekend ladies! I'm know I'm a little late with the Friday Finds; we had a birthday dinner that went late on Thursday night and Friday was super busy.
We ended up having a bunch of friends over Friday evening to watch the Jays game too, which resulted in Marco's famous chilli and some amazing apps brought by friends. This weekend we are out of town visiting family & staying toasty indoors. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Get in my closet.
There was an election in Canada this week. This made me LOL.
On privilege. (Wow)
How cozy is this blanket? Reminds me of this Instagram.
Visiting Ottawa; how beautiful is this AirBnB?
This makes me want a (faux) maroon fur.
An easy way to save money.
