White Boots for All Seasons

Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. You can see us wearing white boots all year round.

*this post was written in October 2020, but has been updated with recent picks for the season.

As I sit down to write this I am thinking * have I already written this blog post? *

This isn’t the first time this thought has crossed my mind and for good reason. While different styles and trends come and go each year, there are plenty of things that remain tried and true favorites for the both of us. Boots, and specifically white boots for the purpose of this list are staples in our closets year round! (See us both wearing different pairs of white boots earlier this year).

Catherine has been rocking the white boots for years now (see her initial post here), and they always take her looks to the next level. They catch your eye unlike any other style of shoe, if you ask me. Something about the white, when paired with darker leggings or tights, or with shorts can be super striking!

TCP Tips: How To Stay Sane in 2020

Some tips that we are using to keep our mind and body right as we enter the new year! Some are probably new to you and some are pretty obvious, but you never know when you might need a reminder xx

EDIT:
we wrote this at the beginning of 2020 and little did we know how much we would REALLY need these tips this year.

1.Listen to Kelly Howell’s The Secret Universal Mind Meditation
Catherine wrote a pretty great blog post over on Cathclaire a while back on why you should listen to this life changing sleep meditation, but here I am to remind you that IT WORKS. Like she said, I can always tell the difference when I fall asleep listening to Kelly for days on end and when I don’t. The brain sync technology actually works and if you are like me and are pretty worthless at meditation : this is for you. All you have to do is listen, and seriously, you can simply fall asleep! I bought it on iTunes so I could have access to it anywhere and everywhere, but it’s also available for free on YouTube. Do yourself a favor and listen tonight as you fall asleep.

2. Keep an organized calendar
If you are as busy as we are, juggling multiple jobs, events, friends and family this is an absolute must. Personally, I have a Google calendar where EVERYTHING lives: a synced calendar with Johnny, a TCP calendar, daily and weekly reminders and I create an event for everything so I don’t forget. If you prefer a fancy app, or like to keep a hard copy planner with you, then do that! If you keep your schedule organized, I have found that great piece of mind comes with it.

Cathclaire Picks: Affordable White Boots For Spring

Regardless of the fashion season, I love me a good white boot. From booties to tall boots, choosing to go with white in these shoe styles can elevate something as simple as a comfy black dress.



Throughout the winter months, I wore RAYE the Label patent white boots with just about anything (see photo above.) Now that warmer weather is starting to show it’s face (SO HAPPY!), I wanted to upgrade my white boot game and give my RAYE’s a break. I was a little hesitant about ordering these Public Desire slouch knee white boots from ASOS but I am in love with them, especially for the affordable price point. In terms of sizing, I usually wear a 6.5 and ordered a size 7.

These boots are comfortable, a super soft material, and did it exactly what I wanted them to do: took a super comfy LBD to the next level.

What are your feelings on the white boot trend? If you are into it – I have rounded up my favorite white boots for Spring for you below! Let me know what else you guys need help with for the new season !! XO



My Go-To Shoes For Fall: White Combat Boots

Well, friends, I’m going to be perfectly honest with you. I wrote out this whole post about how I splurged major on these combat boots and how they were worth the price tag.  After writing the whole post, I clicked on the link, only to find they are sold out of most sizes AND they’re on sale. SO! If you wear a 6.5, 7.5 or 8.5, hurry on up and grab these for $115.



Luckily, a bunch of brands are showing this trend this fall so there are plenty of other pairs out there – almost identical in fact.  SO instead of me rambling on and trying to convince myself that I spent my hard earned cash on this pair of boots and it was totally worth it – I’ll leave you with a round-up of a few other pairs and two of my favorite looks to date.

I have never thought of myself as a beanie girl until I was forced into buying this hat by a combination of wrongful tourist assumptions & the New York City windy streets. Leave it to the beautiful brand of Free People to change my mind. I have been working this slouchy beanie into all of my outfits since, herego – cathclaire is now a beanie girl.
