Now this is what I'm talkin' 'bout

I've said it once and I'll say it again, I love someone who isn't afraid to make a bold statement and be an individual.  And though he probably didn't walk out of his front door today saying "I'm gonna make a statement today!", I certainly appreciated his style and individuality.



Now this is what really got my attention.  These beautifully distressed tan boots by Red Wing Shoes got an extra pop of brilliance because my new friend Greg decided to replace the laces provided with his own new red laces (a purchase only two days old : )).  The shoes were definitely the piece de resistance but that isn't to say the rest of the outfit didn't work.  I also admired his black (I think Gstar) jacket and the slim jeans fit well and were the perfect blue with these boots, as you can admire in the picture above. Now since he was technically shopping around the store, I didn't want to get into too much of a conversation of why he wore the red laces.  But perhaps I'll find out sometime soon.  I did get to know that this stylista is a great new cook at Boston's Via Matta.  Located at 79 Park Plz, Greg says it's a great, quaint place to have drinks with your friends at their bar or enjoy a delicious meal.  Located in Boston's Back Bay near the Park Plaza, I definitely foresee a visit there soon with all my best girlfriends.

Back to the shoes! Greg purchased these bad boys at The Tannery on Boylston St.  Red Wing is known for its attention to detail and high quality craftsmanship.  The color we see here is called Hawthorne and they are gorgeous!  The leather work is so refined and strong, you can , as Red Wing says, "use them for a long days work or kicking around." This style of boot is extremely hot right now and many different designers have their own take on the look.  These were a perfect purchase, if I do say so myself.

Thanks Greg for showing us how to make a great everyday piece extraordinary.  And if you want to know more about any of the things mentioned here, check out:
