The Great Fall Boots I Own And Love
Fall boots, historically my favorite of all the “shoe” drops, are dang good this year (if not more expensive due to what I think is tariff inflation). But man, do I wear them a lot, even my over-the-knee boots that I’ve had for three years (which takes any winter outfit from basic to date night…

I honestly had no idea what the square footage was of our 1850s guest cottage on the property. My guess was around 2k, so I was super eager to find out how close I was. Gretchen did us a solid and took ALLL the measurements, and while it isn’t perfect and I wouldn’t hand it…
