on my radar: lowland boots

I'd say more often than not, over the knee boots get a thumbs down from me. But when they're good, they're so good. The stuart weitzman highland boots have long been on my "sooo good" list, but putting their price to the side, I never contemplated purchasing them cause the chances that I would wear a pair of over the knee boots with a 4 inch heel on a daily basis were slim to none. Enter, the lowland boot.

I'm not sure if they're new, but I first saw them this year and they were a love-at-first-sight item. So much that I have seriously considered purchasing them despite their ridiculously high price tag. I mean, it's the holidays. There are sales left and right. And I have a chunk of untouched birthday money just waiting to be spent. It's like it was meant to be.

Asides from the whole paying an arm and a leg for them issue, the fact of the matter is I don't even know if they would actually fit me. Their site claims they're made out of a stretchy suede, but I have a small foot and not so thin legs. I spotted them from afar at Nordstroms, in fear of going too close and succumbing to their chant of "buy me, buy me," and find it hard to believe they could be that stretchy. Maybe they could be some sort of weight loss reward incentive kinda thing. Instead of gaining weight during the holidays, I'll lose some and buy myself a fabulous pair of boots. A girl can dream.
