brux, talk to me, please, about the solo stove. I've been eyeing them awhile and think I want one, but would love to hear what you think about it. Also not Brux, but I just ordered one for mh’s bday this month. My dad has one and after sitting around his, we really enjoyed the smokeless aspect and nice heat! We love fire pits thru the fall so I think it’ll get a ton of use.

I’m a simple girl. I like wearing dresses with boots during the winter. I have to be able to walk distance in my boots every day. What am I looking for? Ankle height? Mid-calf? And, like, does it have to be chunky sole and square toe box? Help me help myself. the most comfortable nice boots I’ve ever owned are from Cole Haan. They are ankle boots with a mostly flat sole and I feel like I could walk everywhere in them.

Ah, I have several pairs of boots. I was actually asking (poorly) what is in style this fall? Ankle boots are on the way out? Mid calf and knee are back? It also seems that square toes are in.
I feel like being on trend. But, well, combat boots are not my thing.

I follow @modishchampagne, and she has a bunch of boot recommendations and updates to traditional boot styles. That’s where I got my idea to buy more boots. Is she saying fancy cowboy boots will takeover this fall?

I was at Target and mine had new tees in the men's section. Goodfellow Lyndale tees are what they're called--only $6 and they had a bunch of basic plain colored tees. I bought 4. They seem perfect to layer under sweaters and jackets and flannels for fall Just thought I'd share! I know you guys are mostly talking pants but I always have a hard time finding plain nice tees so I was happy to find these My H wears these and they have held up really well!

I think the men's tees (everywhere really but especially target) fit me really well and I like them much better than the women's fees. For some reason I feel like the sizing is always off and they'll be tight then get weirdly stretched out and loose during the day

I had some amazing red Jessica Simpson cowboy boots back in the mid 2000s when they were last in style. They were so comfy

That’s what I’ve been reading in many places. 😕 You don’t have to wear them! This was the tiktok in particular I was talking about. vm.tiktok.com/ZMRfwUnav/SweetPotatoAnd these are some lower heeled options she gave vm.tiktok.com/ZMRfw5Nc8/She’s just one person though, but I personally liked a lot of those boots. THIS!! This is what i was after. Bless you!

Okay, and are all these ways okay to wear boots and jeans? Is there another way to look updated? I’m trying not to be old.

I dont need anymore tops but I really like this 😫 I have on similar to this and it doesn't wash well- It's pilled up a lot. I still wear it on weekends though.

I really need a comfortable pair of black loafers or something of that sort for the office days. But I need to find something in a wide with that doesn't look too old lady. Instead I've been eyeing these up because my daughter swears Hey Dudes are the most comfortable.

Just bought two Adirondack chairs and a side table in an end-of-season sale. Mine are light gray with black legs, but here’s a picture of the style. Imagine me with my new solo stove. This was my best pandemic purchase of 2020.

Lol my H does not care about trends/being trendy. Well a couple months ago he needed a new pair of sneakerish shoes, and he found Hey Dudes. He said they were the most comfortable shoes he's tried on.
Now he's totally in style since everyone seems to be getting them 🤣 he acts like it was on purpose

These jeans are my favorite purchase from the nordstrom sale: www.nordstrom.com/s/nydj-ami-skinny-jeans-hamstead/5933145The color feels fresh and goes with a lot. I've also purchased sooooo many perfumes lately. Does that count? I've been hooked on youtube perfume reviews and they're a bad influence. ETA: the jeans run large. I do wish I had sized down and am still debating whether I can talk Nordstrom into an exchange. Just FYI!

You are not alone - I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on perfumes during the pandemic.

I was really scent-averse for awhile but I found a Jo Malone perfume that I love. This is probably a confession but during the pandemic I got back into body sprays…but I guess we are fancy and calling them mists now. I like the Body Shop ones. Bath and Body Works Cotton Blossom will always have my heart.

My list is basically a pair of Uggs (eying the Diaras) or Bearpaw booties, LYM beanie, a Carhartt sherpa 1/4 zip sweatshirt, and a couple pairs of leggings. I may add a couple sweaters as time goes on, but that's really it. This was very much me last fall/winter and I'm leaning into it again (minus the hat though). Who has good leggings this year? I need a few pairs.

Last night I bought a solo stove. I’ve been wanting a fire pit for ages. Thanks for the reviews, folks!

Well I’ve done some looking around and cowboy inspired boots are definitely having a moment. Perfect time for me to get Cher to Texas 🤣

I’m ready for my first warm climate winter and likely need to buy nothing… but I’m sure I’ll cave soon. I don’t really know what I need though? I usually would do sweaters and boots and all the jeans but it feels like overkill.

I live up by Pismo but I mean, a jacket is the most you need and I'm sure you have a jacket. Think about layers. We have what feels like multiple seasons in one day up here. Start out cold (50s), then hot by 1pmish.
