Raiding My Sister's Closet: Rain Boots

Tuesday, March 10, 2015




Rain boots always make me think of London.  It's ironic, really, because I didn't actually take rain boots to London.  But they are the perfect place for them.  I did a semester abroad in London during my college years and fell in the love with the city.  It rains quite a lot in London, especially in the spring, and often I wished I had rain boots as I walked around puddles in the city.  Now that I live in Texas, I find myself being extremely grateful that I have these boots, because it rains a lot here, as well.  I am constantly surprised with the amount of rain that we get here.  Since about 2 weeks before Christmas, it has rained about 4 out of 7 days every week, and these boots have definitely gotten some good wear!  They keep my feet dry, and they are a stylish option!  As a kid, I didn't have rain boots (because it rains about 3 times a year in Las Vegas, so they would be a total waste of closet space), so I have loved having many opportunities to wear them here in Texas!  Hooray for happy boots on a gloomy day!  And for not living in a place where snow boots are required! 

Also, on a non-rain boot related note: In case you missed my announcement of the changes coming to my blog, you can find it here, and if you missed our big plans for the summer, you can find that here.

Raiding My Sister's Closet: 5 Favorite Swimsuits

Tuesday, June 4, 2013




Janssen, Merrick and I have loved doing our 'Sisters Share It All' posts, but we have decided to switch it up a little bit and focus in on style and fashion-related topics instead.  I am quite excited for this new change, and today we are introducing our first 'Raiding My Sister's Closet' post.  Five favorite swimsuits from around the internet!  In my search for my five favorite suits, I found loads of horrible ones (seriously, some of them were awful.  Adam saw one tankini top said it looked like a really ugly purse)... however, I finally found these beauties.  We are taking a little trip to California next week, and I am wishing I found these a few weeks earlier so I could sport them on the beach!  
Here is a blow-by-blow of each swimsuit:

 Striped Suit: Loft
I love the classic lines and colors of the suit.

Colorblock Suit: Anthropologie
Colorblock is a good idea this season and I love these colors together! 

 Rusched Suit: Target
A simple swimsuit, with a fun twist.  I think it is a pretty color.

Ruffled Suit: J. Crew
I love the bold color and the amazing ruffle.  Simple but fun.  

 Floral Suit: Anthropologie
This is out of stock, but I loved it so much, I had to include it.  I love the strong lines, and amazing pattern.  This is another suit that is quite similar that I also love.
