Sorel: Toronto Lace

My love for shoes comes as no surprise. My fiancé, Ryan, is a Senior Designer for Sorel and I love being able to see what's upcoming as well as where the brand is headed. The ladies on their marketing/PR team are the best and I always get inspiration on how to style my Sorels from them. I currently own about 10 pair, so there's never a question of 'if' i'm going to wear them, it's 'which ones should I wear today?!'

The current line for Fall '14 is amazing and has such versatility. Today I wore the Toronto Lace Boot. The best part? They're waterproof! Cute, stylish, AND functional? Perfect for all the rainy days in Portland.

 I was hesitant to try these at first because it is a narrow shoe. I have small feet (6.5), and it took me about a month of constant post-work walking through downtown Portland to break these bad boys in. Once I got past the initial,"I can't feel my feet" phase, I was totally in love.

I paired this outfit with my favorite watch by Marc Jacobs and a simple knit sweater, black jeans, and beanie.
