Today is one of those coveted, perfectly crisp winter days. The air is brisk but bearable and the sun seems to peek through at just the right moments. While there is little snow in the forecast, I am taking full advantage of these new Sam Edelman ankle boots. They have just enough spike to sass up an otherwise comfy outfit and enough pattern to be eye-catching without complete distraction. As a complement to the statement of gold heels, I decided to channel my New Year’s excitement with an embellished J.Crew tee–a nod to the upcoming festivities of bobbles and bubbly! Yet again, New England elements require a balance of relaxed warmth and sophisticated shine.
