Although this look is a bit short, we couldn't resist how cute she looks. It's also inspiration in color. (We'll have to try the nude with grey combo soon.) It also led us into finding more about the designer, who we are loving at the moment. We'll definitely show you more looks of his in the future. Until then, enjoy!

OUR TAKE ON VALENTINO SS '13
So you saw us post about the Valentino Spring 2013 collection here. Now you get to see the look that inspired this post. The actual Valentino blouse is sold here, but we'd rather spend that amount in different areas of life. So we created our own blouse with a white button down, black high neck sheer blouse and black fitted tee underneath. If you're a bit of a seamstress you could always take an old white button down and cut the collar and cuffs. We just liked our blouse and white button down too much to do that to them :(. Anyway, we put it together with our black chiffon skirt (similar here) and called it our Valentino.
(By the way, there are always nicer, pricier version of items that are similar to ours. We don't know about you guys, but we're always looking for a deal. Let us know if you'd like us only to put the nicer stuff, or do you guys even look at the links? Just trying to gauge the quality of what you all would like, because it's really much easier to find the more expensive items.)

SNOW BOOTS - Wearing the UGG Hoka winter boot
When Ugg emailed us about their new boot featuring the Hoka technology (a rolled toe and heel technology) we had to check it out. This is the Celiste boot (you can find the collection and this particular boot here). We decided to go for a little winter hike in them and we must admit they are pretty dang cool. They're surprisingly light for being a pretty hefty boot. By the way, this is not your typical UGG boot, people. These things would get you through some pretty crazy winter weather (including in cities). We're definitely gonna be breaking them out again for the 2013 Sundance Film Festival coming up. We're also so happy with their comfort that we bought another UGG boot that we can't wait to show you guys. So step away from the wellies (not much grip can get crazy in the snow) and get yourself a good winter boot. I'm itching to get these things to Yellowstone in the winter (yep, that's Melody's winter trip for next year). (Also... wishing Desirae was there to tie my scarf. I'm so bad at tying scarves. Also wish it had a bit of color like this.)
Stay tuned for the Mara Modest Dress giveaway winner! Sorry we're slow, we'll be announcing it tomorrow....(drum rolllll)
