Caitie wrote me the following:

I am DYING to find a pair of skinny jeans to tuck into boots that are not low-rise.

She also wanted me to find some that were $60 or below. I found a bunch!

(And I agree—low-rise skinnies are the worst. It’s much more comfortable to wear a mid- or high-rise jean!)

1. AK Anne Klein Five Pocket Black Wash - $30
2. Lauren by Ralph Lauren “Talia” - $40 (my pick)
3. Tommy Hilfiger “Spirit” - $40
4. DKNY Jeans - $48
5. Cheap Monday Jeans - $65 (my pick)
6. Calvin Klein Jeans - $40
7. Levis High Rise Skinnies - $58
8. BDG High Rise Cigarette Jean - $58 (my pick)
9. BDG High-Waist Distressed Ankle Cigarette - $58
10. Wet Seal High Waist Skinny Jeans - $22

I hope a couple pairs work for you Caitie!

I generally dislike Christmas-light-covered lawn animal sculptures, but I saw this owl in Target the other day and made a beeline. Brandon had to hold me back. Frankly, the only reason why it isn’t on my front porch yet is because I’m afraid my neighbors will steal it. Why do I think this? Because if my neighbor had it, I’d steal theirs.

Pink faux-reptilian platforms? Yes, please, Santa!
