Loving Lately: Fall Boots

It is SO good to be back! Just when I had my blog I had been dreaming of forever up and running, boom- the school year hit in FULL force. Why I thought I could handle teaching, full time grad school, and a blog is beyond me! Buuuuuut... bare with me until November 20th! That's the day you will see me down 2 bottles of wine in celebration smile from ear to ear! One more class after that!


Over the past few weeks, in my non-existent spare time I have been updating my fall wardrobe. I am not one of those gung-ho fall crazies, but I do appreciate fall clothing and activities. 

Lately, I have been really into fresh fall boots. Below are some of my favorites!


Hunter 'Carnaby' Rainboot 
Love the snakeskin detail!

Frye 'Carmen Harness' Tall Boot
I adore my Frye boots and I would love to add this pair to my wardrobe

Forever 21 Quilted Trim Boots
Love the quilted detail... and the price! These are great because if the trend dies out, they won't kill your wallet!

Programming Note

I am still alive- in case you are wondering. Going back to teaching this year, combined with one of my final (and hardest) graduate classes, has left me completely swamped! 

I am hoping to find some free time over the long weekend to bring the chic and the sugar 
back to Chic Sugar! 

Talk to you soon!

Friday Five

Between teaching, taking care of the pups, and two grad school classes, I am more than happy to see Friday each week!

Here are my favorites for the week.


These Mossimo Black Vianca Tuxedo Flat in gold glitter

I have wanted a pair of this style flat, but since I feel like they are so trendy, I didn't want to invest a lot of money in a pair. At $20 ($15 right now on sale!), you can't go wrong. It's well documented that I like gold glitter (herehere, and here), so I'm super glad that I picked these up!



Yogi Detox Tea



I picked this up earlier this week, and I have been enjoying a large cup or two before bed. Although I was skeptical at first, I definitely have more energy and feel more balanced. There are a number of positive reviews online as well.


Clear Bubble Umbrella

I am dying to get a clear bubble umbrella! Thinking about this one...

And finally... these two. What more can I say about these adorable faces?! Zoe is slowly becoming more accepting of Ruby. Baby steps, baby steps.




Hope you had a great week as well!

Loving Lately: Sparkly Collar Shirt

When spring/summer and fall/winter roll around, I like to update my wardrobe with a few key pieces. While I am not a super trendy dresser ( I like more classic clothes with a girly and glam twist), I like to add a few fresh pieces to update my look.

Everywhere you look this fall, sparkly collars are everywhere. Here are a few of my favorite sparkly collared shirts.
