Doe it get any prettier than a pair of red boots?! I have a tall Valentino pair that I adore, but they aren’t practical for everyday. I knew I needed an equally gorgeous pair of red booties that could become new favorites. AND….I found them!
Rebel with Cause has the coolest limited edition boots and booties in fabulous colors, textures, and sustainably-sourced materials that are handcrafted in Europe. Local to North Texas, Rebel With Cause designs products that are handcrafted from high quality calfskin leather and Italian suede. The most pleasant surprise, though, was finding out they range from $119 – $389, which is fantastic for boots made with this kind of quality. I found myself enamored with the Hustle boot, with this bright red suede and cute fringe. They are super comfortable with the block heel, and when I wear them, I always get questions about where they’re from! Good to note: Rebel with Cause has unique colors that are super hard to find in boots, like a pearlized white, a heather grey, baby pink, a royal purple, light turquoise, and azure blue. I can’t recommend these boots enough!
Quality is something I’ve really come to appreciate as I get older. I’d rather pay more for something well-made and with a mission I can get behind than something inexpensive and not worthy of my hard-earned money. I’d love for you to take a closer look at the beautiful pearl necklace I’m wearing in these photos. It’s a stunner; simple, pretty, and actually full of deeper meaning. I had a chance to meet the designer of this jewelry line, aptly titled “Purity and Majesty“. Not only does designer Stephani McDaniel have talent for creating special pieces of jewelry, but she has a passion for helping victims of human trafficking. If you follow my posts, you know that I also have a soft spot for ending human trafficking and use opportunities throughout the year to give to charities like My Refuge House, who seek to bring hope. When I heard about Stephani’s passion for making jewelry with a purpose, I instantly felt connected to it.
January is the official ‘Trafficking Awareness’ month. Purity & Majesty donates 10% of every sale to A21, a non-profit working to stop trafficking forever. The company also partners with a local safe house called Restored Hope, working with the women to help them transition well from the safe house back into life. I can’t think of a better reason to buy a piece of jewelry that is as beautiful as the Purity and Majesty pieces. My necklace is such a treasure, and it looks just as pretty with a cocktail dress as it does with my jeans. I love it. You can order yours here!
Not that long ago I posted about a Red Currant & Cranberry scented candle from Rosy Rings, and I have since burned it like crazy around the house. These candles are a candle lover’s dream come true….the scent is just strong enough to permeate the room, but light enough that it won’t bother anyone’s senses. Plus, they are beautiful candles! So when this white Rosy Rings Winter Rose & Pine candle came into my life, I had to share it with you. It’s warm and cozy; I like to burn it on a cold day when I have a fire in the fireplace and some great TV on my DVR. (Like Leah Remini’s new show on A&E!) Besides being a little treat for yourself, candles are always a lovely hostess gift or little something to let people know you are thinking about them. I like to keep at least two candles on back up in case I burn through all mine and company is coming over. Scent is one of the things people remember most about you when you aren’t around, so when people leave my home, I want them to remember how inviting it smelled! Last, but not least, if you’re in the market for a slick, simple, classic watch, the Thirteen.02 watch I’m wearing in this blog is 10% Off + Free Shipping! Use Discount Code: NYE16 🙂
New Years Eve is just one day away…so please be safe and have a wonderful time sending off 2016….
