Ash’s obsessions

Sorel 1964 Premium Canvas Boots.  It took me a while to warm up to these clunkers, but after a few days in the Czech countryside I’m in love.  They keep my feet warm and dry, are easy to clean, and seemingly indestructible.  Can’t wait to wear them in the mountains this weekend!

Boscia Charcoal Deep-Pore Cleansing Stick Treatment.  My skin has been temperamental lately, but with the weather turning cold and forced heat making living spaces dry, I didn’t want to get rid of my gentle daily cleanser.  I started using this Boscia cleansing treatment once or twice a week and my skin is definitely on an upswing.

Halogen Long Sleeve Turtleneck.  I bought this in both the black and grey about a month or so ago and I’ve gotten tons of wear out of them.  They’re light weight and great for layering, or simply pair with a warm scarf.  I love that they hit slightly longer than most I’ve tried.

Aj’s obsessions

Women’s Printed Widebands. These things are a life-saver if you can’t remember the last time you washed your hair…like me. You throw it up in a high pony and put one of these cute things on and go on with your day! Or just use it to cover up those greasy roots while it’s down. Don’t be ashamed- we all do it.

For Love + Lemons Bra. I adore this company. They make the most beautiful lingerie {& dresses!}. I promise that their lingerie is the most comfortable, flattering, and sexy stuff out there. The only problem is, it can be quite pricey. Well, this bra is normally $128 – but during the Nordstrom sale going on now you can snag it for under $70! For other favorite things in the sale, see here.

Lace Medallion Top. I love this pretty lace top. The detailing on the hemline of this one makes it stand out and look expensive- but for under $60, it’s a steal!

We are super excited about the new items just added to the Juniper Lemons boutique!  The ‘onyx blouse‘ and ‘town and country bootie‘ shown above are now available, as well as the ‘criss cross sweater’ that was recently featured in an OOTD post.

The ‘criss cross sweater‘ comes in mocha (shown above) and also in charcoal, and looks great with skinny jeans, leather pants, or pair with the ‘every day legging‘ that also hit the store today!
