Cobalt and Cognac

by Jen on Tuesday, September 14, 2010



One (I know right, how spoiled am I!?) of the birthday presents that my boyfriend got me this year was these luscious, gorgeous pair of cognac leather heeled over the knee boots. I saw them in store and instantly fell for them. I love them so much that I am now glad I didn't opt for the Topshop pair!











This leopard print cardi was a find from H&M using the 20% off coupon from the iPhone app. I love the oversized print!

And speaking of leopard print, I recently took part in the Flare (Canada's leading fashion magazine) online fashion challenge, where I was to wear at least one piece of leopard print in my outfit every day for a week. It was a ton of fun to do. Check out the photos here!

P.S. This set of photos was taken by my boyfriend's best friend who is visiting from Australia. He has only done photography for recreational purposes but he seems to have quite a penchant for it! Thanks Ross!

Wearing: Zara OTK boots, 7 For All Mankind ponte double knit pants, Kyumi New York silk top, H&M leopard print cardigan, BCBGMAXAZRIA statement necklace

Your boots are so scrunchy and I really liked how you paired it with a flowy top! I'm looking for boots for the fall as well, I hope I score as well as you do!

Congrats in being taking part of the online challenge, you have such great taste in fashion. =0D

Sweeeeet cardigan! the big leopard prints are gorgeous. They look more young & fun :) Your bf really knows what you like, those boots are gorgeous and perfect for this Fall.

Saw the article on FLARE. I love all your "leopard-inspired" looks! You'd make a very good stylist :)

Jen, you are so adorable. Those boots are the bomb. They look so great on you. Those photos are amazing. Your bf's friend did such an amazing job. I really like your outfit. Do you know what kind of camera he was using? Hubby and I are looking into getting one but no idea what to get

Love the boots! And the cardi, so adorable. I have no leopard in my wardrobe, so obviously I'd fail at that challenge. I need to incorporate some for this season!

And the pictures are so darling. Your boyfriend's best friend is very talented, and YOU are very pretty. (:
