Carol Ann Reach for the Fringe (Minnetonka Giveaway)

My head is spinning with hilarious possibilities on how to word this post.  For some reason when we took the pictures I kept seeing myself flying off on a broom like Harry Potter (don't ask me why - I think it's the hat).  Then I spotted a neighbor's house with a castle type peaked roof and tried to get the pictures to turn out like I was sitting on the roof.  No dice. Shucks.

I guess I'll just have to settle for what it is - me trying to rescue my near dead plants while the Chef snaps away.  Hmmpf.  Not nearly as exciting.  Read on though...because there IS an exciting giveaway for a fabulous pair of Minnetonka Moccasins (boots or shoes of your choice) at the end of this post - courtesy of the wonderful people at Langston's Western Wear.  (And lemme tell ya - they have some pretty fantastic cowboy boots too if you're in the market.  I grew up on a farm and am a total expert on the matter...I own 3 pairs).

But first let us examine appropriate plant saving attire for mid-January.  Look for me wandering the streets in spring adorned in the same outfit - and all of its various pieces mixed in with other faves in upcoming posts.  As you know I'm a fool for anything with fringe and these boots are no exception...and we haven't even gotten to the top or the hat!

Hat Attack-Hat, Free People-Webs We Weave Top, Martin+Osa-Skinnies, 

Minnetonka-Calf Hi Fringe Boot c/o Langston's, Motif 56-Bracelet

Check out the swirly fringe on that boot 

(and the dead leaves fallen from my Plumeria tree...this is a red alert)

 Front view...how about those little studs?!

Side view - I don't know how it is that I haven't invested

in more Minnetonka's.  The foot beds in their 

shoes are incredibly cushy and comfortable, 

and I love the overall boho vibe.  Kate Moss knows!

I call this one the watering can shuffle - the Chef finds it

rather amusing to catch me in these poses.  Not so much.
