Breakfast + Boots

January 8, 2010

Happy Friday! 8-) This week flew, didn’t it? Don’t ya love that!?

I woke up super early again to write my Health post for this coming week. Initially, the words really started to flow, but then I got stuck. :-? I thought maybe I needed some brain fuel, so I went to make breakfast instead. A full stomach always seems to help! ;-)

Breakfast

Mmmmm… oatmeal pancakes! I made an especially delicious one today! :-D  Some mornings, I like oatmeal pancakes better than my usual bowl of oats.

I topped this morning’s oatmeal pancake with banana, agave nectar, and cinnamon. So good!

Hunt for the Perfect Pair

So, do you want to know which pair of boots I took home with me?

Well, technically, NONE of them!

It turns out that my size was no longer available in the pair that I wanted at the Walking Company. But, I ordered the Women’s Belfair (in Bouillon) directly from the UGG website. (D. was the correct answer, by the way.) Unfortunately, the boots are backordered until February, but they were easily the best pair of the bunch (functional and fashionable) and totally worth the wait.

Question of the Day

How would you describe your style?

I think I may try making those oatmeal pancakes this weekend – they look yum!! My style is probably sporty casual preppy – if that can be a style. I throw a bunch of things together, but comfort is always the main ingredient for me. Happy Friday!!

@Carrie: I would have said treadmill hands down, BUT now that I am injured, I’d go with the elliptical. Plus, you can always run outside. However, I get a much better workout with a treadmill. Not sure if I answered your question or not? :)

My style in a word, nonexistent! 3 words, limited by budget :) Um, I guess seriously it would be functional. My older sister is the style queen, super glam. I always thought that if my pants weren’t ripped, why would I need new ones? This is not the same philosophy I have when it comes to gym gear though ;)

I think I would classify my style as classic and a bit preppy but with unexpected additions. I do love simple jeans and a t-shirt though :)

Cute boots – they look like fashionable bean boots!

Clearly a Bostonian who knows she needs functional boots in the winter! Those were my favorite of the bunch

Katharine January 8, 2010 at 12:18 pm

That’s the boot I was going to guess! I hope they come in enough time to get some good wear out of them :)

Christy January 8, 2010 at 12:33 pm

D was my fav! I’m the same way — gotta be functionable with some style, too!!

Amanda January 8, 2010 at 12:34 pm

My style is definitely eclectic- and you totally made the right choice- love the boots!

Sarah January 8, 2010 at 12:40 pm

I don’t think I have a style, ha ha! I guess you could say comfortable? I like to dress up on special occasions though.

Carolyn January 8, 2010 at 12:49 pm

I bought some cheap “sweater” style ones and they are useless if it’s wet out. They are war, though. Hope YOUR feet stay warm until February. :)

I would describe mine and classic-eclectic! I love very classic pieces mixed with preppy, punky, conservative and super trendy pieces.

Janna (Just Flourishing) January 8, 2010 at 1:12 pm

Yes! Great choice! I desperately need a pair of warm winter boots.

My style is variable. Usually you can find me in leggings, big sweaters and high boots. But when I go out, I like to dress pretty girly.

Megan January 8, 2010 at 1:15 pm

In all honesty, I don’t really think I have style. Just whatever is comfortable!

Rebecca January 8, 2010 at 1:18 pm

Love the boots!! This is completely unrelated to your post but I had a dream last night that I was in Boston and saw you walking down the street. So weird. I love Boston. I want to live there. :-)

Jenny January 8, 2010 at 1:22 pm

I love eating oats in different ways than just regular cooked.

I loved those boots! Definitely perfect for winter. Hope they arrive soon!

Living in Hawaii has quite killed my dressing style most of the time i am in shorts and a tank top with flip flops lol! When I go out I do wear dresses or jeans with a nice top and heels

Reply

Lee January 8, 2010 at 2:14 pm

Those are the cutest ones, IMO. Even though I have ones like the second pair.

I’m basically a t-shirt, jeans and flip flops type. Kinda boring, but comfortable!

Miriam January 8, 2010 at 2:47 pm

I have different styles : business wear, casual business wear, weekend casual, gym, going out & chic. The key word for all is feminine yet confortable (yes, high heels can be confortable!). I am trying to wear more accessories but I rarely do on weekdays.

I have a very earthy style. My closet is full of earth tones (even my best business suit is green) and I love wooden jewelry. I can’t wait until I can afford some of those bamboo workout clothes I see on the internet all the time!

Allison K January 8, 2010 at 4:13 pm

great choice on boots. My style is very simple and classic. but I totally covet people’s styles who are more funky and vintage!

Reply

jenna January 8, 2010 at 4:48 pm

your new boots are a great pick! especially living in Boston! I hate when people where nonfunctional boots! I love these one b/c they are too cute and very functional! :)

eclectic is how I would describe it…but methinks MESSY is how most people would :)

Im a boot lover trapped in a climate where it’s usually too flipping hot for boots,

Defa need to try oatmeal pancakes soon!!

Cynthia (It All Changes) January 8, 2010 at 7:22 pm

Those are nice boots. Sorry you have to wait so long for them.

My style is definitely kind of modern/preppy. I don’t dress up enough but when I do I like to wear jackets and button down shirts. I didn’t own jeans for years because I always wore dress pants.

I’ve been on a majorr oatmeal pancake kick lately!! I’m even planning on having some tomorrow :) I’ll probably have to have it with some bananas & blueberries mixed into the batter, and topped with sunflower seed butter!!!!!! Omg, too good for words. Yours sounds amazing though, too!

TraciJ January 8, 2010 at 10:46 pm

D is what I picked for you! =)

Since I’m not working right now, comfort – Jeans and UGGS in the Winter and Jeans/Crop style in Spring/Summer with flip-flops and I have an obsession with Coach bags too………….
