As someone who recently got into the world of canning, I find the Cuppow insanely useful. With more and more people trying to curb habits of bad eating and watching closely what their food comes in, reusing canning jars (and canning your own food) has ramped up in recent years. Now that those jars are widely available, people are finding other ways to utilize then.
The Cuppow makes drinking out of wide-mouth jars easy and portable. You no longer have to worry about if you can put something hot in that water bottle or if it contains chemicals and will brake down into your drink – it’s BPA free . With a glass jar and the Cuppow you can be sure that nothing will affect the taste of your beverage and leave you with that all to familiar ”metal” after taste. Perfect for brewing tea and getting your iced coffee fix. Check out the video below.

While we are not sure what’s going on with the Gap, we are continuously impressed by what Banana Republic is doing. Once thought of as the more stylish big brother to Gap, Banana Republic has embraced it’s more casual side without losing it’s edge in refined style.
One example of this is their Casual Soft-Wash Shirts. Available in different styles (Solid, wide-stripe, Gingham, Plaid, Etc.), these shirts are pre-washed in a delicate wash cycle and treated with enzymes to give them a soft, worn-in feel. These are a great option to give you the comfort of a t-shirt, in a dress shirt form.
Editor’s tip: If you have broad shoulders or are a little bigger than most high school seniors, go up one size or get the tall size, as these shirts are cut a little smaller.

It is officially boot season! And when it comes to boots, there is no shortage of selection and style. Ankle, riding, chunky heel, wedge…there are so many options for your fall wardrobe. Here are just a few of my favorite boot styles this fall.
The stacked heel. I’m a heel girl. So whenever I can incorporate a heel, it’s a winner for me. And a stacked heel, because it’s thicker than a stiletto, it gives your feet much more support . The Frye Harlow Campus boots are completely lust-worthy. Not only do they have they great leather and construction that Frye boots are known for, but they have the perfect small platform in the front and stacked heel. Buy | $358.00
Wedge booties. There is nothing more comfortable than a wedge heel. You may think wedges are just for the summer but there are now so many great wedge style boots to wear with jeans or over tights. I like these Toluca wedge booties from Hive & Honey. They have a stacked wedge heel, zipper closure on the side and a great buckle detail around the ankle. Buy | $109.50
Riding boots. These boots are perfect for wearing over skinny jeans. They are usually flat or have just a very small heel. Sometimes they have a more rugged look incorporating belts and buckles. The Enzo Angiolini Saylem Riding Boot has an exposed zipper up the side and buckle detail around the ankle and the top of the boot. Buy | $149.95
Mid-calf boot. If you aren’t in to the ankle boots and knee-high boots are just too high, than the mid-calf height boot is the option for you. The suede RSVP Lana boots will hit your leg between the ankle and the knee. It’s that perfect happy medium! Buy | $70.99

When it comes to summer shoes, wedges are my favorite. They work with almost any outfit, from capris to a sundress. And with the stacked wedge, you get the height but without the pain that can come from wearing other heels. The Lela Rose Isidro Ankle Strap Wedge is a great neutral shoe with a colorful wedge heel. Neutral shoes are in for the summer and this tan wedge with brown leather accents is no exception. It has a thin ankle strap and a canvas wedge heel with stripes of blue, red, white, and green. The pops of color in the heel are just the right amount to pair this shoe with almost anything.
