Blundstone Boots

Stopping in really quick on this terribly frigid Monday (yay.) morning. I wanted to share one of my favorite boot companies, Blundstone. They offer some amazing choices for men, women, and children.

William has a pair of the Rancher boots, and he wears them religiously. I have to tell him to take them off all the time, because hello oriental rugs! Boots never should be on my orientals. Adrienne even has a mini pair of Blundstone boots, too! They are adorable and will surely be passed down to her little brother.

I will share photos of them wearing their boots super soon. Per usual, I'm behind in life. So until then, here are my top Blundstone picks for adults!

1. Style 018 | Waterproof Safety Steel Cap Gumboots | Blundstone 

2. Style 410 | Brown waxy leather elastic side boots | Blundstone

3. Style 506US | Stout Brown premium leather with orange elastic sided boot | Blundstone 

4. Style 1301 | Rustic Brown leather brogue elastic side dress boots | Blundstone
5. Style 1314 | Stout Brown leather slip on boots | Blundstone  

6. Style 057 | Rustic Brown full length rancher boots | Blundstone

Lavazza Frappe

It's Halloween! And I'm super pumped. I'm also needing a little pick-me-up to deal with the whole night. You know, getting the costumes on, going from (stranger's) door to door in the cold, and then the habitual meltdown of my child after I tell her she only gets to eat a few pieces of candy. Sorry, kid, diabetes is a real thing.

The pick-me-up I'm talking about is a homemade frappe. I've made these things a ton of different ways. This time I decided to try the Pioneer Woman's frappe. I tweeked the recipe, of course, and used Lavazza's Perfetto Espresso Roast coffee, and used a decent dash of Monin caramel syrup.

Homemade Frappe
Adapted from The Pioneer Woman's recipe 
|| ingredients ||

1.5 cups Cold Strong Brewed Lavazza Coffee Or Espresso
1 cup Milk
1/3 cup Sweetened, Condensed Milk
1 teaspoon Monin Caramel Extract or Vanilla Extract
Ice

- Mix all the ingredients in a blender! And you are done.

The Perfetto Espresso Roast coffee, Monin caramel syrup, and red travel mug are all c/o Lavazza.

Be sure to go read all my other Lavazza posts, here, here, here, and here (I shared a few yummy recipes on those posts, as well).

Addison's Wonderland

To shake off the Monday blues, I thought I'd share one of the new blogs that I adore, Addison's Wonderland. 

Brittany, the mastermind behind Addison's Wonderland, started off as an interior decorator, and now she's a full fledged designer. She creates the most magical bedding for little girl's rooms. The colors and patterns that she puts together are so whimsical and feminine. I swoon each time I see her work.

Brittany is currently on a hiatus from designing bedding (sad face) and is now focusing on her new blog (yay!). She shares amazing photos of her house, genius decorating tips, and items she is currently loving. You will have to check out her eye candy as soon as you get a chance!

For even more dreamy photos, be sure to check out Addison's Wonderland on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
