Giving Winter THE BOOT!

 Yep, that's me, giving Winter a boot in the arse, and flashing a whole lot of red-clad upper thigh.

and speaking of boots.....

Don't I look rather smug in my new grey boots that I picked up in Toronto when I was there a couple of weeks ago?  My outfit was so damn co-ordinated because I was asked to give a guest lecture about blogging in one of our undergrad classes so I thought I should at least look like I knew what I was talking about.  I guess it went ok - no one feel asleep and some people even asked questions at the end.   I realized just how short this dress is when I sat on the desk at the front of the classroom and had to shift my legs to the side to avoid corrupting the students.  To my credit, I did have a floofy slip underneath.

And yet another pair of beeeyoootiful boots.....

I wasn't the only one who came home from Toronto with fab new boots.  Behold the ribbon-laced beauties that Heather found at the Dr. Marten's Toronto store!  She found the turquoise bag at Stella Luna, a  cool vintage store in the Parkdale area of Toronto, that has very reasonable prices.

The boots have the added "Squee" factor of being lined with flowered fabric that can be displayed by turning down the leg into a big cuff.  The ribbons and flowers add just the right amount of feminine flair to an other wise tough-looking boot.
