Baby It's Cold Outside

We're in Florida and when the cold reaches us then it's official...Winter has arrived! It's almost noon here in Jacksonville and it's only 57 degrees out. And yet still, I see several die hard Floridians walking around in flip flops and sandals. A lot can be said about a pretty pair of Jack Rogers or a comfortable collection of FitFlops.





But they aren't worth freezing your bum off over. But then again, FitFlops do tone your bum so maybe....no still NO! Ladies we must be strong, it's time to break out those sexy leather boots. Here's two of my favorites.

I've decided to take a little poll. You'll find it posted on the right. What do you think of the grey suede? A must have or just a maybe?

PS If you don't like boots here's a pair of my favorite new French Sole and Hush Puppies.

Christmas in Avondale

Guess where I'm going to be Dec 5th? Avondale of course, they're having their annual Christmas Party. There will be hayrides, carolers, lots of great food and of course Mr Claus himself. I've been attending for three years and it's becoming a tradition for my family. Last year the folks at Open Road Bicycle and Thompson Fine Shoes had a rock climbing wall for the kids, and that was a blast. Rumor has it, it's coming back this year too. Vanilla's Cupcakery has been invited to join the festivities and should be somewhere near. They have become one of my addictions, you noticed I said one of - there are to many to name. Resolutions for 2009 will come soon enough.

Upcoming Events ~ Pawject Runway

What a wonderful turnout we had Thursday night. The weather wasn't to cold, and all the models looked amazing. Nothing is cuter than a baby dressed up for Santa. We also had some four legged models that strutted down the runway. There was something for everyone to wear this holiday season, Blair Woolverton had beautiful one of a kind hand painted scarves. Clover's outfits were ready for a party, and red was the color. There was lots of great food from the local resturants and bakeries to sample. Pawject Runway raised over $1000.00 for First Coast No More Homeless Pets, and I hope this will become an annual event.

Jack Rogers

Who doesn't have at least one pair of Jack Rogers navajo sandals? Okay, maybe my 92 year old grandmother. But hang on Grandma Christmas is coming soon! They are without a doubt the most popular resort and beach sandal in the world. But buyer beware Jack Rogers are addicting. They come in hundreds of styles and colors. So if like me you can only afford to buy one pair remember the most versatile shade is platinum. A platinum sandal can be wore with silver or gold jewelry. Also, you can dress up or down in Jack Rogers. They look just as great with a dress or skirt as they do with jeans. These sandals are a must have for your summer wardrobe.
