Stuff We Love « Covet Living

…Aka Sheep, Aka K Dubz, aka the one who probably coulda volunteered a wee bit more throughout the year, could’ve been less snarky with Stephanie on our 2-hour-long cackle fests, could’ve gone to church a wee bit more (sorry Mom!).

But in the spirit of the Holidays, I know you’re a forgiving chap, Santa; that’s why I’ve put together a list of goodies in case you still want to hook a sister up this year! Mmmkay, here goes:

1. A dump truck pulled up to my front door filled with Dry Bar gift certificates.

Let me put it this way. When I enter a Dry Bar, which is a Heaven-sent blow dry bar specializing in blowing out your hair to a silky, smooth masterpiece, I enter looking like a prison wife, and exit looking and feeling like a dignified lady:

2. A gift certificate to a spa for a yummy massage. Maybe one of my favorite all-time gifts, which unless they’re a masochist and hate massages, is a perfect gift for any loved ones of yours. These gift vouchers for thai massages are the best.

3. This one size fits all cute geometric sweater to wear during this friggin cold! LA winter season:

4. Or THIS Asos chunky rib cardigan. I lurve the snuggliness and bright pop o’ color:

5. This dainty Double Lotus Yellow Gold Necklace:

6. OR either of these statement pieces from Bauble Bar (my fave website for bold, fun necklaces!):

(Left: Tortoise Constellation Bib | Right: Double Tortoise Link Collar)

7. A bright new suitcase to replace mine which looks like a pack of wolves tore into it. And it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg! TJ Maxx has a TON of luggage right now for wicked cheap – just ask Giuliana Rancic who posted this on Instagram the other day:

8. This perfect, slouchy, well-traveled-looking pair of boots by my fave shoe designer Jeffrey Campbell:

9. A membership to a Wine of the Month Club, cause I’m real fancy:

10. Not sure how long wedge sneakers are gonna remain “in”, but these Adidas Wedge High-Tops, below, to me, are just.friggin.cool:

11. Some cozy – but CUTE! – pajamas which won’t cause my husband to cringe a bit whenever I put them on, like what’s in my current rotation (see below). Poor, poor guy:

12. And finally, the latest book from Wally Lamb. Usually I’d be all recessionista and shiz and check it out at the library, but right now I’m #47 on the wait list!

Thank you Santy, you really are the BEST.

My name is Karrie and lately I’m a boots-shopping-aholic who can’t stop myself. It doesn’t help that everywhere I look, I see amazing boots, especially those worn by the likes of Gwyneth and other style mavens:

But unlike most bloggers who are seemingly gifted with the ability to drop $500 on a pair of Rag and Bone booties, I’ll never, ever be able to plop down real $ on material things like that. It’s just not in my DNA. That’s why I’m downright giddy about the below gems I found this weekend. Say hello to a $35 pair of Old Navy booties, which are so cute and comfy.

A great alternative to the normal black booties I’m seeing everywhere, they’re this dark grey/almost blue tone that seem to go with everything. And they’ve got several colors right now – including the camel-colored ones below:
