Splurge vs. Save

Today's "Splurge vs. Save" isn't a traditional post in that I'm not going to compare to different items. Instead, I am going to show you how you can get the same item at nearly half the retail price. 

How could you not like that kind of proposition?

We all love Hunter boots. The Mini Fashionista has a pair, but I actually don't. That might change soon. The Original Tall Hunter Boot sells for $140…kind of a lot for a rubber boot! 

Here's where the big SAVE comes in…if you are a Costco member, you can get the same boots for only $79.99 on Costco.com! 

All you need to do is go online, register with your Costco member number and a pair of Hunter boots can be yours for a fraction of the retail price.

Not a bad deal!

Currently Coveting

My Birthday is coming up in less than a week, and as always my wish list is packed full. Here are the things I am currently coveting for the big 33!

Clearly I have blue handbags on my mind...

Mark & Graham Everyday Leather Tote $199

Gigi New York Python Indigo Teddie Tote $295

KSLADEMADE Heather Crossbody $168

And a few things that are not handbags in the shade of blue...

Hunter Gloss Short in violet $130 

Sam Edelman Petty Bootie $130

Three JNYC Eloise Dot Pajamas $114

Let's be honest, I don't NEED anything. I have more than most people dream of, but it's always good to have a wish list. 

Splurge vs. Save

Last week I saw a woman wearing these adorable Hunter flats! They are super cute, but unless you live in Portland like I do, you might not wear them enough to justify the $115.

LL Bean offers an affordable alternative for only $70!

So, what do you think, splurge or save?

Going Green

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here are a few things to make you green with envy.

Cole Haan Vintage Valise Marisa Crossbody $248

Over the Top

When it comes to Winter attire, I tend to prioritize function over fashion. Not to say you can't have both, but having grown up in a ski town, I know that function takes precedent...assuming you want to stay warm and dry.

So, what are your thoughts on these Hunter Over the Knee Shearling boot? My opinion, they might look good when you take them out of the box...but give it two days of walking in the ski town slush and they won't be so snowy white anymore. I think I will stick with my fashionable, functional and reasonably priced Sorel Boots.

Hunter Boots Cervina $535

Good As Gold

Get ready for the Oscar's by tromping around in these Gold Hunter Boots!

Hunt It Down

Check out the Hunter Ascot Boot. Not only are they up-country chic, but they are also fabulously functional (water resistant). They come in two colors and are sure to fill a spot in every girl's shoe collection.

Well Wellie

Everyone seems to know about Hunter Boots, but have you seen the Hunter Wellie Socks? They are perfect for cold Winter nights, and they can also dress up your favorite rain boots, Hunter brand or not!
