my everyday style: Eva Mendes for New York & Company!

I've been really hesitant to get on the 'over-the-knee' boot trend. I absolutely LOVE the look on other ladies and stylish bloggers but I didn't feel like it would translate into my own style or lifestyle as a busy mom. I stand corrected! I am now pretty obsessed with this trend after trying it (don't knock it until you try it, I suppose!). Not only are over-the-knee boots nice and warm (hello Michigan winters!) but they are surprisingly comfortable too… like a stylish leg warmer. Or maybe I shouldn't have gone there. But you catch my drift - warm AND stylish.

Pairing over-the-knee boots with a chunky winter sweater is now a new favorite as well. It's the perfect winter outfit for when you really want to be warm… but staying stylish isn't debatable. I can definitely see wearing this combo on repeat this winter season.

These stylish duds - including the boots - are all from Eva Mendes' new line at New York & Company. It's easy to give the girl major credit… she's gorgeous, she gets to hang out with Ryan Gosling on the regular AND she is super stylish. Check out her new line at New York & Company - it exudes femininity, romance and style. Which is no surprise coming from such a stylish lady. And if you are still looking for holiday party attire - there are some really great dresses and skirts for this festive time of year.
