Welcome to my closet Flavian boots!

I have been searching far and wide for a pair of black riding-type boots - something like my actual field boots for horseback riding:

but, well more wearable, comfortable and something I can remove on my own without having a family member nearly break my ankle trying to get them off. After many frustrating shopping trips, I turned to the Holy Grail of American department stores (Nordstrom - they're just so nice!) and lusted after the Vince Camuto Flavian boots:


Having very little self control on Boxing Day, I ordered them (they were on sale - I was saving, not shopping). They came in the mail today in a pretty box with fuschia tissue and made my week!
