The Ultimate Boot Guide with Sarah Flint


As we welcome the chillier half of the year, our wardrobes also shift to seasonally appropriate garments, accessories and footwear. With a closet filled with sartorial seasonal classics, no autumn/winter wardrobe is complete without a pair of boots. Whether they're tall and snug or of a fancier variety, boots are sometimes a tricky item to get right. Luckily, Sarah Flint has taken the guess work out of boot shopping and has created a range of perfectly designed options that cater to an array of needs. From heeled dressy styles to coveted knee-high models, I've compiled the ultimate guide to Sarah Flint's boot offerings to get you sorted for the cold months ahead. Kick up your heels and grab a hot beverage -- read on for the must-have boots you'll want to year all autumn long. 


TALL BOOTS

1, Alexandra 50 // Knee-high Heeled Boots -- Black/Navy
Ultra-chic, leg-hugging knee-high boots aren't always the easiest of styles to find. While many complain about incorrect fits, shapes and fabrications, the Alexandra Boot is the perfect remedy to this particular boot woe. Constructed in Italian stretch suede, this luxurious boot beautifully contours to the leg, providing the perfect slim fit. Additionally, it is designed with a hidden zipper for easy wear and features Flint's signature light-weight tortoise block heel. A beautiful addition to not only wear throughout the season ahead but for many years to come. 

2. Perfect Stretch Boot 30 // Knee-High Pull on Boot -- Black/Taupe
For a no-fuss easy solution which pairs beautifully with pants or a dress, the Perfect Stretch Boot offers an elegant touch to a wealth of ensembles. Expertly constructed in water-resistant high-quality suede and a lug-style outersole, this stylish pull-on  boot option is a wonderful shoe to sport in fall's unpredictable weather. Best of all, this chic style offers a timeless shape while thoughtful details like 6mm of extra padding and anatomical arch support maximize on comfort. 


BOOTIES

3. Perfect Zip Bootie 30 | 70 -- Espresso Crosta/Black Calf 
Offered in two heel heights, this versatile bootie option provides supportive elevation for extended wear. Unlike similar styles currently on the market, Flint's upgraded design is crafted with a busy woman in mind. A generously sized toe box allows for a comfortable fit while a padded insole with her unique arch support lends to pleasant, relaxed wear. While the fit alone makes these a shoe wardrobe must-have, luxurious details like the gold galvanized double zipper detailing and high-quality materials create an elegant lasting wear with minimal damage. 

4. Perfect Dress Bootie 60 | 90 -- Black Suede/Taupe
Perhaps my favorite bootie from Flint's versatile boot range, the Perfect Dress Bootie is an ideal shoe to sport at more formal fetes. In true Sarah Flint fashion, this beautifully made option presents a sleek fit with darling feminine details like a scalloped trim and French binding. Offered in two heel heights for a wider preference, the Dress Bootie elegantly provides height with respects to comfort through Flint's comfort hallmarks and pitch support by a hidden platform. A wonderful and wise option to consider before holiday season is in full swing. 

5.Ellie x Gravati // Chelsea Style Bootie -- Chestnut Vachetta/Black Vachetta/Camel Crosta
A tasteful option designed after Flint's first employee Ellie, this chic Chelsea-style bootie is a perfect model for a city-chic gal. An easy slip on bootie, this carefully designed shoe features refined elements like slim diagonal elastic paneling and artful stitching which not only highlight the expert craftsmanship but lends to the overall comfort and fit of the shoe. This year-round style beautifully wears in an array of weather conditions and is designed for lasting wear without the bulk and weight of traditional styles.

Elegant Florals Take the City

Salvatore Ferragamo Bag

Beautiful garments featuring poppy florals and lush foliage prints have always found a home in my wardrobe. When done well, these eye-catching prints really add a lovely element to a wealth of ensembles, especially when executed on romantic fabrics like airy silk chiffon. An elegant and romantic piece featuring these charming motifs was the exact kind of piece I had in mind when planning a look for a special late-summer celebration.

The event called for a polished ensemble that was fit for an outdoor setting and knew it was the perfect time to pull out this chic tie-neck chiffon blouse which featured an elegant and bright take on these nature-inspired prints I adore. I kept this gem of a top the focal point of the look and paired it with dark pleated formal shorts and luxe accessories in the same dark contrasting hue. Funny enough, the picturesque restaurant we chose coincidentally complimented my look of the day. Combining that with a fine meal and the most-loved company made for perfect afternoon celebration

Best NYC Dessert Spots


Whether you're in a mood for a quick bite or a leisurely stop at a café or patisserie, there's no better way to enjoy a break than with something sweet. Often a companion to a soothing hot beverage or complimentary drink, desserts in NYC are some of the best you'll ever enjoy. From frozen favorites to appetizing confections, I've rounded up some of the trendiest and tastiest sweets from around the city. 

Ferrara | Little Italy 
Since it first opened it's doors in 1892, Ferrara has created a consistent standard of quality by serving the finest in Italian coffees and confections. A family run business for five generations, this charming neighborhood café has remained as committed to its customer service and offering high-quality products as it was on the day it opened. Presenting a delectable array of classic Italian sweets and coffee beverages, this full-service café is also a Gelateria, which houses a deluxe variety of mouth-watering chilled options. 
Favorites: Tiramisu, rainbow cookies, and I always grab a few of their pistachio nougats before heading out their door

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream | Various Locations 
With a modest start on streets of NYC, Van Leeuwen has come a long way from its cheerfully yellow truck days in 2008. The creators of this chic, artisan ice creamery have taken simple ice cream to the next level with unexpected ingredients and pairings. With a mission to spread joy through their frozen treats, they keep their offerings inclusive with unique alternatives for vegan customers. Using simple, quality ingredients, their lineup includes fresh flavor profiles with classic choices that keep folks coming back for more. 
Favorites: Sicilian Pistachio & the limited edition Bourbon Cherries Jubilee   

Breads Bakery | Union Square
They've certainly earned the title of Best Chocolate Babka in NYC. My favorite item on their impressive menu, the chocolate babka is wonderfully rich, airy and incredibly flavorful and best enjoyed with their delicious creamy and dreamy cappuccino. From savory breads to enticing sweets and pastries, the freshly-made, ultra-satisfying offerings on Breads Bakery's menu are a homerun. 
Favorites: Chocolate Babka and rugelach, all their bureka options

Dominique Ansel | Soho 
A true feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds, the innovative and creative sweet creations found at Dominique Ansel NY will leave you thinking about them long after the last bite. Whether it's flavor or presentation, world renowned and James-Beard award winning pastry chef, Dominique Ansel infuses creativity and whimsical elements into every pastry he creates. The trendsetting chef is responsible for the wildly popular cronut, a hybrid treat often sold out at his Soho bakery. Issued in new flavors monthly, enjoy this now iconic treat in fig & almond (September launch), a delish autumnal flavor to celebrate the season.
Favorites: raspberry pistachio tart, banana bread tiramisu, coconut lime cake

Boost Skin Health with This Sweet Wellness Treat

Reserveage Collagen Candy

With another fun summer drawing to a close, now is the time to kick start your autumn wellness routine. Taking the time to properly assess the items that go in your body is just as important as what goes on it. Incorporating a quality collagen supplement is a highly valuable component in a comprehensive wellness regimen. From easy one-take remedies to powdered mixtures, consuming an extra dose of collagen is easier than ever. Reserveage Nutrition is taking a different approach to collagen by offering a candy-like option that is not only fun but feels like an small indulgence rather than a task.

COLLAGEN
Before I jump into why I'm loving Reserveage Collagen Candy, let's talk basics. Collagen is a beneficial protein which lends to a wealth of wellness benefits ranging from skin to hair and nails. Overtime the natural collagen properties in the body diminish leading to a weaker and suffering appearance of skin. Seeking a collagen supplement can counteract the natural loss of this beauty-boosting protein and aid in improvements in the overall health of skin and more. 


COLLAGEN CANDY
As the natural breakdown of collagen occurs, Collagen Candy can help remedy the troubles experienced by this loss. Its sugar-free formula is developed with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and other potent ingredients which help boost skin's texture and overall look. With consistent use, not only are fine lines softened but skin elasticity is boosted which ultimately leads to a more radiant, youthful appearance. Best of all, this powerhouse product aids in strengthening nails, preventing painful breakage while enhancing hair density. If these proven beauty improvements are not thrilling enough,  adding this perfectly-portioned treat to your wellness routine ahead of autumn will help promote more hydrated and smooth skin conditions later in the season. 

Whether you're on-the-go or at your desk, Collagen Candy's compactly packaged treats help you gain daily collagen benefits without the chore of traditional supplements. No need to mix in a beverage or water as the powdered candy-like formula melts on your tongue much like the nostalgic candy from childhood. Offered in a sweet yet subtly tart sour apple flavoring, this fun supplement is one you'll want to try.
