Crystal Embellished Collar c/o Chicnova, Triple Cross Necklace c/o Le Wolf, Forever 21 Faux Fur Collar Cardigan, Lace Bralette c/o Chicnova, Lace Shorts c/o Oasap, Spiked Back Boots c/o Naughty Monkey

This collar from Chicnova is the fanciest one I've ever seen! The crystal bead embellishment is even more dazzling in person and I'd imagine it would look even more stunning for a formal event with a fancy updo. To match the silver tones of the collar, I layered my triple cross necklace underneath and then decided to stick with black for the rest of the outfit. I paired my lace bralette with my lace shorts, which was a perfect match that I'm glad I discovered from my closet, with this furry cardigan over it to stay warm. And lastly, my new 'Mix Master' boots from Naughty Monkey!!! They complimented the overall black color palette and silver accents so well.

My favorite thing about these boots is the sound that they make when you walk on hard ground-- it's a very satisfying clicking sound. The boots were surprisingly comfortable (I would know as I stubbornly wore these knowing that we would be going on a hike to collect water samples in APES and I am happy to say I did not fall off any hills or slip). The soles are padded and part of what makes them comfortable is the fact that the weight distribution falls much more on the heel (verses the ball of your foot). The boots were very high quality and of course the spiked and crystal embellished heels were what made these shoes stand out! Overall, my review of these Naughty Monkey boots is 5 stars and I'm sure there other shoes live up to the same quality! :)

Hope everyone is having a good week! I have a new giveaway coming up soon so check back for that too! :)
