My dears, I have a confession to make. I'm sure you know what's coming. My research last week turned into something a little more serious and I purchased the boots. I have plenty of justifications for myself (I've been wanting a pair just like this since fall, I will wear them for years to come, they are leather, they are made in Spain, the brand name means "poppy flower" in French, they went on sale and the sizes are disappearing at an alarming rate, round toed shoes are my fave and they might go out of style soon and I don't want pointy toed boots because they make my feet hurt) but I will just admit it gracefully and move on.
It was a thoughtful purchase and I am at peace with it, despite the exorbitant price tag. Read: I am squealing with delight inside and hoping against hope that they fit and I don't have to return them because I am madly in love with them already.
If you are trying not to buy anything, then please don't visit the Coclico website. It might actually kill you. Don't believe me? Check out these.
Oh, and the weekend was lovely.
Coming up this week - all Valentine's, all the time. I loooove Valentine's Day, but I realize some of you are skeptical. Just play along with me. I promise that there will be no soft focus shots of roses, no Hallmark poetry, and hopefully nothing else that triggers your gag reflex.

ReplyDeletewhatever is going on in that last photo looks pretty exciting!
I would have done the same, my dear! Enjoy the new boots.
ReplyDeleteI am less enthusiastic about V-day. Not a good week for me this year. But I hope you'll have a fun week.
i'm patting myself on the back for helping steer you towards the best boots of the bunch. i hope they work out!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got the boots! Be happy!

ReplyDeleteI appreciate the no soft images of roses. I'm kind of loving Valentine's Day this year.
ReplyDeleteYour new blog design is adorable! Valentine's Day is moving day for me and Joe. Nothing more sexy than sweaty Kristin carrying boxes in her sweatpants! Gotta get in the new house before weddings start up!
ReplyDeletewoo! woooo! great choice. it was a worthwhile investment, so don't even sweat it.

three cheers!
I will have to say, I have very much noticed that you love boots! A lovely investment!
ReplyDeleteThose boots are pretty fabulous. And, you are probably right, they would have been gone by the time you were through with your spending hiatus! Can't wait to see what you have in store for Vday week!

ReplyDeletehooray for boots, valentines + redesign!
ReplyDeleteThe boots are BEAUTIFUL, and look like a great investment!! Happy Monday Rachel : )
ReplyDeleteI think these were a great purchase. You thought about them a lot before the actual purchase, which means you really wanted and loved them. Plus, they will stay in your wardrobe for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteHooray boots! I really hope they fit you, too, because they're gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to return some amazing Frye boots to Zappos because they were too tight (even though they're the same size as the Fryes I currently own, grr), and I'm pretty much depressed about it.
But hooray for your boots!
I am a fan of boots, I can't wait for you to receive them and model them for us.
ReplyDeletesee, it is FINE that you bought your boots. you needed them and they were on sale. but you are still practicing "thoughtful spending" as opposed to normal spending.
ReplyDeleteThat is my plan for this year at least.
Those boots are divine!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your posts on Valentine's Day :) I actually wish Valentine's Day was more than once a year...as it is a great reminder to all of us why we're trotting around this crazy earth.
I admire you for getting the boots and for making Valentines too.
ReplyDeleteI absolve you for the boot shopping cause I have a very similar pair that I LOVE WORSHIP AND ADORE. I've had them for a year and a half and the thrill is still there! Enjoy them.
ReplyDeletethose shoes are AMAZING. what a great shop! xoxo joanna
ReplyDeleteThose boots are to die for, really. Congrats on the well thought out purchase!
