New boots and Duran Duran Appreciation Day

I'm back! I was in Toronto on Wednesday and Thursday and didn't have time to get any outfit shots. It was quite the whirlwind trip which started with a very strange taxi ride from the airport to my hotel. Then I immediately went from my hotel to Fluevog where I bought the boots shown below and a pair of sweet shoes. Then I went to a meeting in the afternoon after which I met a friend on a patio in the terrible heat and proceeded to get a wee bit toasted on Naughty Otter lager. I'm a chatty drunk who wakes up in the middle of the night thinking "What the F*$& did I say!?" If no one is around, I drunk tweet. I guess it can be amusing.

Thursday I went to my meeting, hungover, and got a little annoyed at some of the "policy wonk" made up terms that were being bandied about. Apparently, when I'm hungover I'm mouthy.

I'm glad to be home and today we got our new washing machine delivered. OH BABY!
 
August 10th is Duran Duran Appreciation Day. Please appreciate them with me.



To show my appreciation, beyond going to see them in concert twice later this month, I wore my new white, strappy, buckley boots.


Dress/Tunic: Dorothy Perkins (last worn here)
Leggings: Joe Fresh
Boots: Fluevog Truth | Petrea

I wore this tunic with these boots at the suggestion of one of my policy colleagues from Ontario who also reads my blog. (HI R d V)

She was right - it totally worked with these boots.




I am totally in love with these boots. Smitten. These boots made me feel funky and confident and, dare I say it, sexy?

These boots would kick your ass if I told them too.



Kick.


Your.


ASS!

  2. I have been admiring those in the black for many months - a store in town has them. I'm stalking them, waiting for them to get marked down further. I'm not surprised you bought them!

    Love the outfit, and that is my very favourite Duran Duran song! Yay! Glad to have you back. Heh, we'll have to get drunk sometime - I'm also very chatty.

  8. Yes yes, yes, the boots are cool and sassy and you ARE sexy - now please don't kick my arse! And they do indeed look perfect with the tunic.
    You take your Duran Duran appreciation very seriously, I like that, no half measures, no "yeah, s'pose they're OK..." Just full-on LOVE!
    A chatty forgetful drunk and mouthy when hungover? Sounds like me! xxx
