GIVEAWAYS & SOME NEW GOODIES!!


My Christmas presents have finally started to arrive.  This year, after a very long time, I am treating myself to some new clothes and boots.  Here is the story.

I fell around 7 years ago and really hurt my knee and ankle.  I could not work out so I put on weight.  Last year, at one of our Doggie Fundraisers, A psychic told me that in the next year I would accomplish something I never thought would happen and be very proud of myself.  Well, it really happened.  In September I joined a healthy weight loss program and I could not believe it when the weight started to come off.  I eat more than I ever have, my knee and ankle feel much better, I am started to work out again, and I am proud of myself.  That being said, I ordered some of the things I have been admiring because I know that this is it for me.  I will keep going, stay healthy and I feel so invigorated, so here are my treats.





The first picture is the gorgeous Wow Cardi from Free People.  I just love it.  It is very light but warm and soft.  You could wear it with a slip dress underneath and button it all the way for a very sexy dress but I just like it as a cool cardi.

I love shawls.  This beauty again from Free People, was a real bargain on Boxing Day.  It is the Meena Shawl,  I got the last one in the black shades but the pinky orange one is adorable too.



I have worn ankle boots for many years, even before they became in fashion.  I just love the support and I like the way they look especially with skirts.  The first pair are Steve Madden Green Troopa Boots.  Very comfortable.

The second, I cannot believe the deal I got on these.  I bought them on Boxing Day at Shop.ca.  When you sign up you get $25. off you first $100. purchase.  These Matisse Crypt Boots are $230 everywhere,  I got them for $74!   Shop.ca had them discounted plus my discount!  That is the best deal I have ever gotten on boots. 

Last, and I have not received these yet, are the Fletch Boot from Free People.  These were a little more than I usually spend but I did save on the Crypt Boots and they were on sale.  I love them.  So soft looking I think I will wear these a lot.  The thing I like about all of these boots is the distressed look, I don't have to worry about scuffing them.

These were my Christmas presents this year and I am a very happy girl.

  2. Love the boots! Much more practical than heels and so stylish. May I ask what the program was/is that you use? I'm looking for an unbiased opinion for something that works.

  7. You go girl! I LOVE free People styles. They are a little pricey, but if I just get one every once in awhile and get it on sale, I don't feel so bad about the price. I am a boot fanatic and these are amazing! You know, I just realized I don't have any shawls and I really need one. ;-) I'll have to wait a bit, but it is on my list.

    Congratulations on the healthier lifestyle and mending knee and ankle. Nurture and pamper yourself always. Hugs, Mina
