Have you heard of Minnetonka Moccasins?  I think Grace was doing a giveaway when I first heard about them. I didn’t win the giveaway, but had been obsessing over them since then.
For Christmas, I told Scott that if anyone asked what I needed or wanted- slippers and black ankle boots. I bought a pair of brown ankle boots from Old Navy towards the end of summer and fell in love, so I wanted a black pair obviously. HA!
I was really excited when Christmas morning rolled around and I found Minnetonka slippers and ankle boots wrapped up for me. Thank you, mom and dad-in-law!!

I asked for my slippers to be a size up from my normal (normal is a 10!)  because stuff always gets spilled on them, I wash them, they shrink, then I rip the whole toe part of my slipper open after three years of wear. Ok, so that only happened once, but I was very sad. They are so comfortable and warm. I love that the bottom is hard enough to step outside to grab the mail but I can accidentally step on someones finger and not completely crush them.

I wear my ankle boots all the time. They are comfortable without socks. I can wear them all day and not have my feet in pain. They are great. Forgive the cheesy picture. I was laughing about silly Instagram pictures, and this is the only picture that I have of my boots. I love that there is just enough fringe to be fun, but not so much that you hear it flopping with every step you take. I can’t handle that noise.
*Edit: I just found this picture hiding somewhere. The PERFECT fringe:
Minnetonka just dropped their spring line. They always have super cute sandals.  If I weren’t already so tall, the Ashley would be my favorite. I love the look of wedges. I really love the Maui also. These are both back from last season (yep, told you I was obsessed).  My absolute favorite is their brand new Venice Perf. They look so comfortable and breathable. That mint is so subtle that it could go with almost anything. Plus, I could chase down my tiny humans at a moments’ notice. (My birthday is coming up and I wear a size 10 if you were wondering. 😉 )
Because I’m talking about my love for them, you should also know that they have men’s, children’s shoes, and accessories. I should probably look into their product care for my boots! I also just saw this!!!! Who doesn’t need a mini moccasin keychain?! Ok, I don’t need it, but that is really adorable!!
What is an item that you have drooled over for years, but thought you’d never get? I never imagined that I would get TWO pairs of Minnetonka at once; or ever.
 

 
 
 
 
This post was not sponsored in any way. I genuinely love Minnetonka, and wanted to share that love with you.

I have always struggled with getting my hair to curl. It either does super tight and obnoxious curls, or they go flat withing minutes. That could be caused by the use of my mom’s curling iron. I’m not insulting my mama. Nobody get upset. Her curling iron has been around as long as I am. She gave it to me because she didn’t use it anymore. Want to know something about old curling irons? They start RIPPING your hair out. Little strands were getting caught and yanked out of my head. Ouch. Plus, it took FOREVER to curl my thick head of hair.

Enter The NuMe curling wand. I purchased the classic 32 MM wand when someone was offering it for a special deal. If you follow that link, you will get $30 off of your purchase. Hot dog! (It’s also a referral link, but I have no idea what my reward is, so consider yourself warned.) It only took a few days for my curling wand to arrive.
It gets super hot quickly (seriously, I burned my thumb pretty badly) and it took the same amount of time as straightening my hair takes. I love that it does big and loose curls. The picture above was after several hours, and with a lot of wind and mommin’ happening. The best part of all? Not a single hair was ripped off of my head! The cord is really long and sturdy, which is great because you don’t have to worry about getting a short in it.
Here is what all came with my curling wand:

I’m sorry, glove, I will never laugh at you again.
Another bonus, they sent me a coupon for $50 off of any item. That’s a ridiculously good deal! Someone “borrowed” my blow drier over a year ago. Let’s just say that I haven’t seen it since then. I’ve been putting off buying a new one. Now that I live across the country from the thief (ha!) I am guessing it is long gone. I am thinking a blow drier will be coming my way soon.
Leanne Barlow did a really great tutorial on how she uses her NuMe wand. Definitely check it out because her hair is FABULOUS.

Let me know if you decide to spring for a curling wand! I want to know if you love it as much as I do!!

I am OBSESSED with the soft petal-pinks right now.. and forever. They are super subtle and feminine without being bubblegummy. Is that even a word? It is also the perfect color for Valentine’s Day. I am going to dump all of my favorite blush-colored links below so that you can indulge yourself, too.

I got this portfolio envelop at Target several months ago. It is a collaboration done with Blue Sky. If you love planners and cute desk accessories, definitely check them out. I am a paper-and-pen kind of girl. I love to WRITE down my ideas, to-do lists, and thoughts instead of storing them on a computer, tablet, or phone. This fits into my tote  perfectly, and is cute enough to carry on it’s own. I hate when the edges of my notebooks get messed up. That is probably ridiculous and silly, but I am so thankful that I can slide my notebook into something and throw it in my purse.

I have been dying to find the perfect pink shade of nail polish for years. I wish that I was kidding, but I really have been on the HUNT. Pinky Promise by Sally Hansen delivered my dream. It is the PERFECT color. I love this polish because it does last longer than the usual. You don’t HAVE to use the gel topcoat, but it definitely helps. The dry time on it seems to be longer than usual, just to give you a fair warning.
I have written about my love of Nickel & Suede before. I haven’t bit the bullet and bought anything yet, but am hoping my obnoxious hints to Scott came through. HA! Right now, they have blush colored earrings (on sale!) this month.
This bag from Fawn Design is also stunning. Unfortunately, they have sold out of their blush color. The bags are completely lovely in the other colors available. This Petunia Pickle Bottom bag is borderline bubblegum, but still very cute.
This Pinterest Board also colors all clothing that is blush. It makes me swoon. I love the shape of this jacket. Now that I live in a warmer climate, I need to find a good jacket that will stand the test of time and go with almost anything. This v-neck tee is also pretty perfect.
What colors are you drawn to this season? For fall and winter, I was drawn to all things wine and mustard colored.
