i thought mine initially was a break out - i am prone to breaking out in that area especially right around the time of my period. this all started the week my period was supposed to start.......well then the pimples never went away so i thought okay they'll go away once i start my new pill pack. well that came and went and now it's been 3 weeks and i noticed last week that the "pimples" are more like blisters and the area is very raw and red and hurts

what say you ladies on these boots?

http://www.zappos.com/product/7840392/color/53358

They are a little on the plain side but they fit my 16" calf circumference and they are water resistant.

Cons are that they are synthetic (which isn't a big deal to me) and like I said they are a bit plain which isn't that bothersome either to me.

I like them cause they look like they could go with anything and would be wearable in any crappy philly winter weather. Plus they look like they are made for comfort which I wholly support. But I thought I'd ask you to see if you think they are straight up ugly or if you guys have seen something similar or would fit the loose guidelines I laid out above.

10/1/2012 3:04:42 PM

^ I love the look of those boots! Will be very cute with skinny jeans or leggings.

10/1/2012 3:16:46 PM

CassTheSass, I believe you have peri-oral dermatitis. I had it last year and had to go on antibiotics to get rid of it. Several things can cause it...toothpaste, oral steroids, too many facial products or facial products containing sodium lauryl sulfate. Peri-oral dermatitis is not acne and should not be treated as such. Do NOT use harsh soaps or acne fighting products. Make-up will make it worse. Hope this helps!

10/1/2012 3:40:54 PM

My MIL had peri-oral dermatitis and was told to stop using tooth paste with fluoride and given a cream and it went away. It was raw red patches around her mouth. She too initially thought it was a breakout. You might want to try using children's toothpaste along with a hydrocortizone cream and see if it goes away.

10/1/2012 4:17:12 PM

childrens toothpaste is high in fluoride

10/1/2012 5:15:58 PM

I got my Keen sneakers in today. So excited. They prob aren't cute to anyone but I think they are completely adorable and Keen is one of my favorite brands of shoes.

10/1/2012 5:45:42 PM

punchmonkey...they fit your style

you apologize too much Just wear them...plus they're already paid for so I can't say a word haha

10/1/2012 6:30:08 PM

2^I really love them, but my vote probably doesn't help

10/1/2012 7:21:03 PM

i'm pretty sure that i need this shirt

10/1/2012 7:39:18 PM

Interesting - I use all natural toothpaste and have been for a long time. I'll check the ingredients though and see what the deal is. Right now I use Toms.

PS - I can't use a lot of creams that have cortisol in it because of my sensitivity

[Edited on October 1, 2012 at 7:44 PM. Reason : No cortisol steroid ]

10/1/2012 7:43:27 PM

I should have been more specific. Training toothpaste. Infant/Toddler toothpaste for children learning to brush their teeth is fluoride free because of their tendency to swallow it.

10/1/2012 8:27:17 PM

Okay so I just checked my toothpaste and it definitely has sodium lauryl sulfate.

Also I don't know how this got past me the first time but it has carageenan in it, which is a sulfite so yeah I'll be buying new toothpaste this week. I thought I would be safe with the all natural stuff. Argh frustrating. Maybe switching will help.

10/1/2012 8:37:47 PM

Cass, you may have to resort to just straight up baking soda. My father in law just dips his toothbrush in a cup of baking soda to brush his teeth and his dentist says that his teeth are in excellent shape.

10/1/2012 8:40:10 PM

haha i might! i am checking with my frands in my sulfite support group to see what they use.

OMG! Thanks, LunaK!

^^^ & ^^ Love both of those boots.

I'm ignorant... what's the deal with Frye boots? I'm not really familiar with them. Why are they so popular around here?

Also, I love my Matisse boots. What's the difference with the Coconuts line?

Anyway, thanks for the boot porn!

10/3/2012 12:39:52 PM

i think my shirt will be here before the weekend

10/3/2012 12:41:21 PM

Minka those boots are way cuter than the others you were interested in.

punchmonkey....LURVE

Frye boots have been around for a LONG LONG TIME. They're just awesome high-quality stylish boots

thanks! I thought so too.

I have no idea! on the box and in the store they are called Matisse but online they are only Coconuts...



They feel great though and I'm happy with my decision

10/3/2012 1:15:25 PM

I have been wanting a pair for YEARS! I knew about them because of my dad. I have never owned a pair because I can't bring myself to pay about $400 for some boots but I found mine on sale. Finally, my day for Frye boots has come and Diva likes them, too!!!

10/3/2012 1:16:01 PM

I hope since your frye day has come it means mine will be on its way

Veronica slouch, you will be mine. oh yes. you will be mine.

10/3/2012 1:54:52 PM

Ha! Mine came down to the one I got and the Veronica slouch! Neato!

10/3/2012 2:43:04 PM

now where did you find them on sale?

THAT'S THE QUESTION!

10/3/2012 5:45:47 PM

omg obsessing

That's what I want

10/3/2012 7:27:49 PM

I ordered some of these when I ordered my Hue leggings because they were cheap and I figured if they didn't work out I could sleep in them.

http://www.amazon.com/Angelina-Full-Length-Seamless-Leggings/dp/B008NCYALM/ref=pd_ybh_20



$9.99

They are like really thick footless tights and I got them today (in gray) and I LOVE THEM! 1 down side (not for me, but for skinny girls) they are supposed to be one size fits all, but they fit pretty perfectly on me and I think they would be baggy on anyone with a smaller frame, and they would definitely be too long.

those tights just make my vagina sweat thinking about sleeping in them

yuck

punchmonkey...thanks!

10/3/2012 11:08:27 PM

oh, after trying them on I agree. they are WAY too thick to sleep in.

10/3/2012 11:11:26 PM

so which one is hotter again??









i'm about to go psycho and get both

[Edited on October 4, 2012 at 11:20 AM. Reason : especially since i got paid this morning]

10/4/2012 11:17:50 AM

I like the blue and green.

10/4/2012 11:18:37 AM

Keeping my hair short for now just got a trim

10/4/2012 11:19:40 AM

i think the blue/green

10/4/2012 12:10:12 PM

Both are cute! But I prefer blue/green.

Maybe it depends on your wardrobe though.

10/4/2012 12:15:00 PM

if any body snags it before i balance my checking account i'm going to claw a bitch's eyes out

10/4/2012 12:25:22 PM

just a question: why would anyone buy an expensive bag that they have to balance their checking account to make sure they can afford?

10/4/2012 12:39:40 PM

who doesn't double check before making a frivolous purchase? I just want to count all my fun money again because i've got some other non-essential stuff planned

10/4/2012 1:19:11 PM

10/4/2012 1:32:39 PM

GREEN JAY did you get the purse?

my purse came today the best part - the zipper at the bottom really zips up so i can make the bag smaller or expand it as needed.

10/4/2012 7:23:00 PM

I have a pair of matisse boots. Had them for about a year now, they're good. Haven't worn down in the slightest. Not sure why you are having a brand difference in store vs online..

10/5/2012 12:14:45 PM

^ Love those! And I adore my matisse boots. The quality rocks. Have had my first pair for a year and they still look and feel great. Just bought another pair last week.

10/5/2012 12:16:30 PM

Oh, and the pair of Frye boots I want? Melissa Tall Lace-up please!

10/5/2012 12:27:38 PM

I didn't buy one yet (at least i talked myself out of getting the pink one after having a look in my closet), because I decided I need another pair of boots more and maybe a bag in matching leather instead. but maybe I'll buy the blue one anyway, it goes with a lot of my stuff.

The pair i bought last winter is already getting a bit down at the heels. I guess I'll buy the same pair again in dark chocolate brown, since it's pretty much my only option.




I can't tell if the hardware is silver or goldtone and it's not written anywhere. blah.


I also need new glasses, beauty treatments and want to take some trips next month, so yeah. lil blue purse

10/5/2012 12:28:06 PM

^^ those are gorgeous. Any idea how much?
