In preparation for the move to Istanbul, as any logical girl would, I shopped.  After all, you can never prepare enough for whatever type of fashion you may encounter in a new country no matter how many clothes, shoes and bags already occupy your closet.  

Tonight I will debut my newest shoe purchase, my grey suede peep-toe boots, which were one of my favorite prep purchases for Istanbul.  Thanks to two of my dear fashion cohorts Irina and Kim for being so crucial in the purchase of these boots.

Side note: I bought a mini-dress to accompany the boots, but that outfit is being saved for more of a night out.  Tonight we’re just going for dinner and drinks with friends, so I’m going with my favorite jeans instead.

For those of you close to my big toe saga and the injury it sustained in late March, you may pay special notice to my toe in the picture.  Yep, it is now sans nail as of today – exactly 5 months to the day.  I know, very exciting news that has enlightened each and every one of your days.

More on fashion in Istanbul later.  I promise, no more on the big toe.
