INTRODUCING JOULES


Evedon rain boots // Quilted sherpa hat (faux fur! navy quilting! pink ribbon!)
Moredale jacket (those elbow patches!) // Glossy rain boots
Welland rain boots // Evedon rain boots (in my favorite color combo no less...)

If there's one thing a hurricane and a nor'easter within days of one another tells me, it's that it's time to seriously step up my outerwear options. I was thrilled to learn about Joules, an online retailer with gorgeous boots, jackets, and other winter must-haves. I'm smitten with their classic designs and darling details like the grosgrain ribbon closure on the hat and boots above. Seriously have you seen a cuter pair of rain boots in your life? That last pair belongs in my closet!


{OUTFIT} JAMES JEANS


You've probably noticed by now that I absolutely live in jeans. I like them in a dark blue wash with a little stretch — and I preferred skinny jeans right up until the moment I unwrapped this flared pair from James Jeans. I know denim shopping isn't usually the most enjoyable experience but I'm not exaggerating when I say these jeans are a total game-changer. They're comfy, soft, and the fit is so flattering that I can't believe I went so long thinking petite girls can't wear flared jeans. I'm a total convert! And even better news? James Jeans is offering all Design Darling readers 25% off their purchase with code JJ004 at checkout. What on earth are you waiting for? Check out the new collection and tell me which pair you can't live without!
