ok, i have to be honest…i am having a tough time concentrating on other things this week. other things besides mavenhaus collective. so i figured why not turn this distraction into a beautiful post honoring one of my true favorites. these boots by ariana bohling for mavenhaus collective are truly too good. i personally have them in constant rotation. at the moment my favorite way to showcase the “stella” is with a cuffed a pair of jeans. i also choose to go sock-free. i can honestly say that these are the only booties/boots i do this or have done this with. the hand tooled, supple leather make it possible, while also remaining comfortable.
at first glance there are similar types out there, but the versatile shade of grey and the cut across the top make them different than others i have seen…much more elegant than the rest. also, completely unique is the rubberized sole…creating bootie more suitable for walking about…
What types of things do you buy everyday? Round these parts it varies greatly…of course there are the norms, like the last minute salad ingredients, the occasional tank of gas, and this week for me a much-needed haircut. Then there are times where I get to focus on beautiful cashmere or just the right beanie. It’s cold right? These things could be considered essentials as well on some level.
Regardless of your everyday items, the perfect card geared towards your personal everyday is the American Express EveryDay Credit Card. It’s the card that rewards for the essential: 20% more points when you hit 20 swipes per month. I have had the pleasure sharing this collaboration with you this past year and have had a ton of fun creating lists of my 20 essentials…this last list maybe my favorite.
Winter essentials are near and dear to me because I am often colder than I would like…I have to say sweaters, parkas and boots are definitely essentials for me this time of year.

A “blogger with a pinning problem" or a "pinner with a blogging problem" - This is how Traci French (Mrs. French) would openly describe herself. In 2008, Traci started her little corner of the blogging world, bliss, as a way to share beautiful things and get inspired in her day-to-day life. What started as a hobby has grown and fostered a recognizable brand aesthetic that is now known worldwide and has turned into a life-defining moment for this momma of 2.
