Vendor Spotlight – Anderson Bean

Well hello there Spring!

boots

 

Check out these great Spring boots by Anderson Bean. The one with the pink shaft is a kid’s boot and would make any girl happy! The other 2 are women’s (Sweet 16 Floral and Thundercat Floral) and perfect for Spring and Summer.

Anderson Bean is another one of our vendors who have been around for decades….150 years in fact. Their commitment to making quality boots is beautiful. In describing their boots they talk about the “channeled welt construction in the leather insole.” They also describe the “unique construction features…steel shanks for arch support and wooden pegs in the arch area.” They go on to explain that  ”unlike a nail, wooden pegs enable the sole of the boot to adjust naturally to changes in temperature and moisture. As the natural leather sole expands and contracts with wear and weather, so do the pegs, therefore they do not fall out or rust like a nail.” Quality and style? I’m sold!

 

Freebird Boots

I love when we get a new line in at the store. I love it even more when it’s boots. Can I tell you how over the moon excited I was to open up a box and see these Freebird Boots!?!??!

These short boots can be worn all summer long with skirts, dresses and shorts. But don’t put them up when the cold weather approaches. They are equally amazing with leggings and jeggings.

Now I just need to decide which pair I want…first that is. I think I need both don’t you?

White Jeans

The may issue of People Style Watch had a great section on how to wear white jeans. They are such a versatile piece for Spring and Summer. You can pair them with heels, boots, flats and any number of tops…denim, leather, a tee or even a button down.

These Levi’s cropped leggings are great for summer. Although they are cropped, they are still long enough that you could slide boots over them and no one would know they aren’t full length.

 

A trend?

If you look at our new items page, it seem that there is a Spring trend forming.

colors

 

Lots of pinks, oranges and deep reds. I typically view the reds and oranges as more Fall colors, but I can for sure envision these paired with white denim or cut off shorts as a new Spring trend. What do you think? Are certain colors more suited for certain seasons, or can you mix and match?

and baby makes three…

These aren’t really meant as “family” necklaces…but I think this Montana Silversmiths Necklace would make a great gift for a new mom, or any mom really! The 3 charms are perfect to symbolize a family of three.

The Crystal Shine necklace and earrings set has a single silver toned circle bead encrusted with clear crystals with black beads, with the same clear crystal setting and silver rope border, on either side. The earnings are the same as the black beads.

If silver is not your go to accessory color, try this Topaz Crystal Shine Necklace and Earring Set. Same great design but a gold and topaz color pallet.

I might need to pick one of these up and save it for myself for mother’s day! I can’t buy my own mom one…there would need to be more charms on it for all my siblings…but for my small family of 3 this is perfect!

New Ariat Rambler Boot – The Phoenix

My love for the men’s Rambler Boot by Ariat is well documented. It is versatile and comfortable and easy to wear. It now has competition from a relative. A brother boot sort of speak. This Rambler Phoenix Boot is hard to resist.

Everything I love plus some added detail. Duratread™ outsole, Ariat’s signature ATS® technology footbed, square toe, weathered look  and this Phoenix. I am in love.

It may be the perfect boot in my opinion. Pair it with jeans and a tee for an everyday look. Add a button down for a layered look…button and tuck in the shirt if you are headed to a meeting…top it off with a sweater for dinner with your love…yep, this boot works for everything.
