Crave or Save: Jimmy Choo Hunter Rain Boots

Rachel BilsonHilary Duff, Kristen BellLeighton Meester and countless other celebrities have been seen in the sold out Jimmy Choo for Hunter croc embossed rain boots. Although I didn't shell out $425 for a pair, I did purchase a knock-off for a much much much much lower price.  It's been about 3 years since I've had them and they're still my go-to boot during the colder months. I can throw them on with pretty much anything. I think any woman would find a pair quite practical, which is why I'm excited to share this find.

Crave or Save: Anthropologie Slouchy Bow Belt

Around this time last year, I spotted this bow belt from Anthropolgie. Although I loved it, I couldn't justify the $38 price tag so I let it go. When putting together outfits, I still find myself saying, "If only I had that belt..." Today as I was browsing online, my heart jumped when I saw a similar belt from Forever 21.  Although their version is cream not nude, I know I can still put it to good use.
