new boots and a photography trick...

thrifted lace up boots - $5

Here's a little trick to use when shooting high, floppy boots...
put a glass in each and they will stand proud and tall!


I read something recently about storing boots with wine bottles inside to help them keep their shape and I thought of that when trying to photograph these.


I want to wear these with everything floral this spring! I'll also have shots of the rest of my thrifted finds from this week for you and me made march week 2 coming up soon. Hope your weekend is starting off swell! h&k, Mandi
