Feeling good about yourself is a funny thing. I've always been quite self-conscious, in part because I've always dressed a bit different than others around me and have never quite fit in. So it's not surprising that sometimes I morph into one of those girls who tries on about five different outfits and/or three hairstyles before leaving the house, even if it's just to get a latte. But sometimes I feel completely confident with the first look I put together. Take today. I haven't washed my hair for three days now and am hiding it with a headband, and I'm wearing (almost) the exact same outfit as yesterday (turns out it's my new favorite winter outfit as well, seeing as the non-stop snow kicks us into unofficial winter already). However, for some reason, I felt absolutely fabulous walking around in the 2-inch (and counting) snow/slush. Today the treacherous sidewalks were my runway whilst taking the trip across the city and back to take care of my arch nemesis, a.k.a. Buddy the cat. It's really quite amazing what a good piece of clothing or two can do for you. And weirdly for me, today it was primarily the shoes that did it for me (you may recall that I am not a shoe person). My very serious snow stomping Adidas by Stella McCartney winter boots may look a bit odd, but they got me there and back again quite warm and dry. But perhaps more importantly, they honestly felt quite couture from where I was standing. So go ahead and call me up to go for a latte. Because I can be ready in about 2 seconds flat. As long as there's still snow anyway.

These boots are made for walking

Christmas Wishlist and Tuesday Interview
In case anyone is curious, for Christmas I'd like these new Adidas by Stella McCartney Mahtva boots in US size 9.5, and, of course, the Twist Hoodie in size M-L by E-Label. And no, it's not too early to think about Christmas. I personally prefer to have my shopping done by the beginning of December if at all possible. In fact, I just found the perfect gift for my sister today on Etsy. Hurray!
By the way, I may be taking a break tomorrow from the blog as it's Labour Day here. And I will indeed be labouring by doing our biweekly laundry for the entire day. But wake up bright and early on Tuesday for my exclusive interview with Patricia Ayres of ArtLab! I'm rather excited about it, not only as Patricia is one of my most favorite designers, but also because it is the first interview of a hopefully semi-frequent feature on kOs. Stay tuned! Oh, and let me know if there's a particular designer I blog about that you'd like to see interviewed!

What I wish I was wearing today
That is: a Hamilton Scarflace, an Urban Revisions' Shredded T-Shirt, Adidas by Stella McCartney Floxy flats, Joe's Jeans in the Muse cut and Maya wash, and a ruffled tote bag from RebeccasArtCloset.
Sadly, I only own the Joe's Jeans and the lovely Stella McCartney/Adidas shoes. However, the jeans are still enroute to me...
