Winter Wonderland 2010

I took a few quick snapshots before going to work on Tuesday. The trees looked so gorgeous that I couldn't resist! And boy am I glad that I got the photos when I did...........today is a wet, sloppy, dreary mess.

Winter Tea Drink

I bought a ceramic cup with a silicone lid at Pamida on Sunday. I've been on the lookout for one to bring with me to work. I hate bringing my own cup, water and tea and making it in the microwave here. I'm glad that I can, but this is so much easier! Now I just boil a pot of water in the morning and take the tea with me.

This morning I made a new recipe and I thought I'd share it with you, as it turned out so well. :)

Boil 2 cups of water and pour over 1 earl grey tea bag in cup. Add a splash of almond flavoring and stir in 1 teaspoon of agave nectar. Enjoy! You can use honey instead of agave nectar, but I recommend the former, as it adds a bit more flavor and "coffee drink" appeal.

Something new to love.......

When I went to the Magic Show in Vegas last month, I noticed a lot of rain boots in the Platform {footwear} section. Most them sported cute, colorful, floral motifs and were lined in some kind of faux sherpa. I fell in love. And started thinking that this type of shoe would be a perfect {and adorable} investment for the coming winter. I've heard that this year is supposed to have even more "muchness" than last..........and maybe it's just me, but I thought last year was BAD. With the kind of winters we've been having here, a nice, tall pair of waterproof boots wouldn't be so bad. Not to mention if they were lined in some kind of cozy warmness. :) So I began to scour the internet for the perfect pair. I had some trouble at first, but finally found this great site: http://www.womensboots.com/

Following are some of my favorite pairs...... the ones I'm considering come my next paycheck. Or maybe the one after that. ;-) Since my recent shopping trip, I believe the next paycheck is already spoken for.

Cute, but simple. Probably at the bottom of my list.

This pair is currently toward the top of my list. I love the colors, design and especially the sweater cuff. :)

Again, cute, but probably too simple. I like the top pair better......

Such a fun, Japanese-ish print! I could imagine wearing these. If only they had a sweater cuff.





Okay, it's between the sweater cuff, this {darling} pair and the cityscape boots.

Boot liner. This is a great idea because most of the boots listed here and anywhere I could find, were NOT lined in something warm, as they were at Platform. These look wonderful. But I haven't quite figured out if they will work with all boots, or only this specific brand. :/

Which pair would you choose? Feedback anyone? :D
