Timberland Earthkeepers Rudston Boots Review

October 17, 2011 By The Fashionable Housewife

My favorite thing about Fall is getting to wear boots! I have so many beautiful pairs of boots in my closet but unfortunately I found that my feet got bigger after having my second child! So now I can’t wear most of my boots….

Lucky for me though, I got a new pair of knee length boots to review! The Timberland Earthkeepers™ Rudston Waterproof Pull-On Boots are the perfect go-to boots for Fall. They are made from premium full-grain waterproof leather and suede upper for rugged durability and feature a easy pull-on boot style with pull tabs.

These boots can easily go with jeans, pants, leggings, knee socks, bare legs, etc. Whatever if in your Fall wardrobe, these boots will look great with! I got mine in Golden Beige which I think will look great with just about everything.

Earthkeepers™ products represent Timberland’s environmental values in action which you have to appreciate. The printed 100% recycled PET mesh lining with a cute leaf print; the lining is made from recycled plastic bottles, surprisingly comfortable, breathable and environmentally conscious. ALSO, the rubber lug outsole is made of 15% recycled rubber that has great traction. What’s not to love?!

My only issue with the boots has been that the calf circumference is only 14 inches. These boots look GREAT on my mom who has super skinny little legs but on my athletic *ahem* calves, they don’t look as good. In fact, if you have bigger calves, these boots probably won’t work for you. My mom can easily wear thick jeans and tuck them into these boots and they look great. If I wear them with tights, the top of the boot is snug against my calf and it’s really not an attractive look on me…

They look awesome on my mom though…

Outfit Idea – Biker Chic Look with Sofft Valencia

January 27, 2011 By The Fashionable Housewife

The basis of this edition of Outfit Ideas is the fabulous Sofft Valencia, a fashionable slouch boot with chic motorcycle-inspired styling. Offered in soft washed Nappa leathers. This soft slouch boot has studded strap embellishments and features a leather-lined footbed and flexible rubber outsole. Heel height: 3/4 inch. Perfect for lots of walking!

The Sofft Valencia Boots are a best bet for season-to-season and year-to-year style. You’ll definitely get the most bang for your buck with these beauties. With their scrunched shaft, stylish studded belts and flat profile, these will quickly become your favorite boots.

They are well made so you will definitely enjoy them for year to come. They don’t feel like boots while you’re wearing them. The flexible rubber outsole moves with your feet so you don’t feel constrained in these boots.

I would warn that they are a bit on the narrow side so if you have wide feet, you might consider ordering a half size larger and definitely don’t plan on wearing thick socks with these. I live in New England and I don’t think these boots are for super cold winter weather, but perfect for the other three seasons. If you live someplace like LA, then these will be a year round choice for you.

Here is an outfit idea of what I would wear with these boots:

Ella Moss, Alexander McQueen, Bebe, True Religion

Leggings by Burberry
Boots by Sofft

Purchase Sofft Valencia on Shoeline.com for $179.95

What would YOU wear these boots with?

The Sparkliest Uggs Ever

January 23, 2011 By Sara Cornell

With yet another snowstorm scheduled to incapacitate the East Coast this week, my Ugg boots and I are becoming good friends. I was on the official Ugg website sussing out some new styles when I came across these beauties:

Ugg Classic Sparkle Boots $170 at UggAustralia.com

The Classic Women’s Ugg Shortie in the super sequin style! Available in Black, Silver and Gold, imagine the fun you can have with these boots! I was picking up my teenage daughter from a school dance last week and the common uniform was cutoffs and Ugg boots rolled down to just above the ankle. It would be like a throw back to Studio 54 if the tween/teen set got a line on these!

Like all Ugg boots and slippers, I’m sure these are super comfortable, but they don’t seem to be not all that practical. But they definitely would brighten up a cold and an snowy winter day. (Although the model here doesn’t look like she is too troubled with the weather. And she sure is rockin’ the boots!)

What do you think? Thumbs up or thumbs down on the sequins? Post a comment and let us know.

Outfit Ideas – Skinny Cargos With Boots

January 18, 2011 By The Fashionable Housewife

I absolutely LOVE Old Navy. They never let me down. They always have sales, deals, clearance and coupon codes galore on top of having the best prices around. Their non-sale prices are better than the clearance prices in most department stores and I always find something I like for at least of the members in my family.

My latest obsession is with their fabulous Women’s Ankle-Zip Skinny Cargos. They are soft, have a bit of stretch to them, are comfy, and fit perfect. They were originally $34.50 but are on sale now for only $12.97!!

They can be styled many different ways and are very versatile.

Here is an outfit idea for ya…

Gift Idea For Under $150: FitFlop SuperBoots for Women

December 22, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

The best boots you can buy someone for Christmas are the FitFlop Superboots!!!

These fabulous toning ankle boots are all the rage and have already been spotted on celebrities such as Brooke Shields…

I’ve been wearing the FitFlop Superboots Short in Smoke Grey Suede for about a week and I am absolutely in LOVE! They have the same great toning benefits of the FitFlop Sandals with the design of a boot. They look great with jeans, skinny cargos, jeggings and even leggings.

They are easy to slip on and off and are roomy enough to wear with warm socks. FitFlops usually run true to size or slightly larger (in my opinion) so I recommend purchasing your regular size when getting the FitFlop ‘FF Superboot’ Boot.

Purchase the FitFlop Women’s FF Superboot Short Toning Ankle Boot in black or smoke grey on Endless.com for only $119!!

Available at:

$119 – $135 at Endless.com + free shipping
$120 at Piperlime.com + free shipping
$135 at Shoebuy.com + free express shipping
$135 at Nordstrom.com + free shipping
$139 at Zappos.com + free shipping (order before 1pm on 12/23)

The boots would make a FABULOUS gift! If you don’t know what size to purchase, get a gift card! Zappos Gift Cards make great gifts this holiday season!
