Today is my last day in New York City for a couple of weeks because I’m flying home to Seattle tomorrow! Tonight I’m heading to a blogger party hosted by Julia DiNardo of Fashion Pulse. Getting dressed and living in NYC takes more time since I usually have to go straight from work to whatever event or meet-up is taking place that evening.

Today I was totally feeling mixed metals and really wanted to wear the new boots that WHERE generously sent me, which have stud detailing down the sides.

• Vest: Forever 21

Why I Heart WHERE 

On top of the fact that I was already in the market for a new pair of black boots (actually, I’m pretty much always in the market for boots), I was thrilled when I got an email from WHERE designer Laura Villasenin because I’ve had my eye on this brand for awhile. First, I love discovering and supporting small, independent and/or up and coming brands. I was also pleased to learn all of WHERE’s products are sustainable and handmade through  small artisan communities they work with around the world. WHERE is based in the UK and you can read the rest of their story here.

The Arianna boots have a hidden wedge and sort of have a reverse spats thing going for them (remind me of my DIY Maison Martin Margiela booties post), which I love. They are also the only non-flat footwear I own that I can actually wear around the city without having to switch to the flats I carry in my bag. As for size, I’m usually a 7-7.5 and the 38 fit perfectly. They cost about $245 and you can now order them in the US via one of my favorite edgy shops, Pixie Market. If you don’t mind overseas shipping (can take longer), you can also order them directly from WHERE for about $195 including shipping with coupon code FASHIONPASSION, which gives you 30% off.

The jeans retail for $222, but you can get them for 25% off at Manhattanite through Thursday with code HOLIDAY25, which would bring the total down to about $166.
