Black and Ecru, with a touch of intrigue, is where to find inspiration this winter season.

Short Sleeved Sweater Cute

 

Musier Paris :

Founded in 2018 by Anne-Laure Mais, Musier Paris is a French brand with a timeless, feminine aesthetic. Its founder and creative director wants each piece to stand out with unique detail, offering classic silhouettes full of character.

Musier’s Short-Sleeved Sweater Cute is an ecru knitted short sleeved sweater with a dainty knitted black bow under the rounded neckline. In my opinion, it is an adorable breath of youth that is timelessly chic ~ €95,00

Italian Calf Leather | Made in Spain

Sumissura :

Sometimes, one is particular about the look, feel, sizing, and the tiny details in footwear. So, why settle for readymade when there is Sumissura?

Specializing in bespoke garments and footwear, Sumissura offers the solution for those with such distinct tastes. I chose Italian calf leather dress boots in Alessio (black) and tweaked them to my tastes by adding a Cap Toe, with a Quarter Brogue, Tracker EVA sole, pull loop, zipper, Vintage Brass eyelets and hooks. Sumissura’s 3D designer is extremely helpful; without it I would have been lost. The website also offers a helpful size recommender that takes the guess work out of choosing the best fit.

A few weeks later, I received my boots and was immediately impressed with the quality (my first clue to the craftsmanship was the Made in Spain stamp).

The Italian calf leather, Made in Spain, dress boots fit perfectly and have proven to be quite comfortable. The EVA sole is good for us midwestern femmes, who must navigate ice and snow on the regular, and the look of these Cap Toe Brogues give quiet sophistication to both day and night.

There is a certain delight one receives in knowing their footwear was custom-made for their comfort and style. When looking to invest in one’s wardrobe it’s always a good idea to spend wisely.

I admit to loving my dress boots and wear them everywhere ~ $245 +
