We all have our favorite go-to shoes for the winter season and this season mine are the Jeffery Campbell Knockout booties.  I spotted these on one of my favorite fashion and beauty trend websites Refinery29.  If you haven't heard of it or stumbled upon it yet I highly recommend you check it out! The booties have a chunky stacked wood heel and have a very simple style to them, making them perfect for both day and night.  After hours of indecisiveness I decided to go for the brown suede color since a lot of my boots in my closet are black.  When I say brown though I mean more of a dark brown.  They are relatively comfortable for a night out--I'd say a 6 or 7 with 10 being running-shoe comfortable--and you're sure to get tons of compliments on them! They do run a bit small though so make sure to order a half of a size up, I'm usually a 7 so I ordered a 7.5.

I'm not going to lie, these Jeffery Campbell booties were an impulse buy (admit it, we all give in at one point) but I can tell you that they were 100% worth the guilt (you all know that feeling I'm talking about) I felt after buying them. They are the perfect shoes to pair with nearly any everyday outfit and can easily be dressed up with a going-out top and leather jacket.  These booties add the edge to your outfit that pumps or flats don't offer. So if you're looking for those pair of shoes for this winter season, stock up on these so I can say I told you so!

Today celebrates my first month abroad in London. So I figured since I've been meaning to make a blog while I'm abroad, why not now?  I'll post about my experiences abroad and of course, for those of you that know me well, anything fashion-related. Too catch you all up, if you didn't already know I am studying abroad in London for this spring semester through my university's (using English terms here) program and absolutely loving it here thus far.  I live in Queensway which is a short tube ride to Holborn, the area where my classes are.  I feel like such a local taking the tube everywhere and it surprisingly didn't take me long to learn my way around Central London.  Of course it helps a little that everyone here speaks English.

This past weekend I took my first trip outside of London to Berlin for the Berlinale Film Festival with my dad and his friend.  Highlight of the weekend: seeing Rupert Grint and Shia LaBeouf AND seeing Shia again at the airport, not to mention him waving and smiling at me #starstruck. Anyways I have always wanted to go to Berlin, it's a great city with so much history, I would definitely recommend going if you have ever wanted to go!
