Stumbled upon this hidden gem during a weekend stroll at Stanford. I can’t believe I have been living in the SF bay area (Palo Alto) for well over a decade and never knew there was a place like this. A little island in the middle of downtown Palo Alto filled with life size cacti, palm trees and abundance of sunlight. Geez, I need to get out more!

Leopard print booties has been on my wish list for years and I’m happy to say that the search has finally ended with this Stuart Weitzman leopard ankle boots. After the endless debates, mainly with myself (and my poor friend Sab who I’ve sent a gazillion photos to :). I’d finally decided to pull the trigger and couldn’t be any happier. The exotic boots with it’s extremely soft all over calf hair and back tassel details makes a bold statement, nicely juxtaposing my pretty basic ensemble. It’s no wonder leopard is an instant pick-me-up…when nothing seems to work, put leopard on it!
xoxo,
Love your look, the setting and the pictures!!

Wow, I had no idea there were cacti in the SF Bay Area! I thought you went on a desert vacation. I’m glad you pulled the trigger on these leopard booties. They’re the perfect way to complete your outfit and Stuart Weitzman makes super comfortable shoes! I can only imagine how soft they must be, I want to pet them ;)

I love those booties! I just did a post on how difficult it’s been to find the perfect leopard pump – I’m glad I’m not alone in being picky about my leopard. You look amazing as always!

Love to see the chain necklace with the monogram one!
Flawless style, love it!
KT, those boots are to die for! I too have been looking for a really nice pair of leopard print booties but don’t know if I can afford that. Can you suggest a more affordable version?
Hi Tori, I posted a link for a version that I thought was pretty similar to the SW. However, the material is faux suede and not calf hair like the SW but it’s actually pretty comfy (I tried it on before).
Great boots, love the backdrop!

LOL of course I remember you sending me all those photos of the different variants of leopard print ankle boots… so happy that you picked those gorgeous SW ones (as they are literally perfect). Loving the comparatively toned-down outfit you’re wearing so those beautiful babies pop even more! Also, that is one AWESOME backdrop for photos! Really loving the semi-exotic field of cacti and other dessert plants; clearly I should also do some more exploring of the South Bay/Peninsula area!

Wow, how do you manage to always find the coolest places to take photos!? I love your outfit and the leopard booties. It sure does make the whole outfit! Love the hair and suns too!
These cactus look so cute :) I have never been to a dessert like place where it is fulled with cactus. Your leopard booties are one pair of hot heels!
These boots are to die for! I am a huge fan of animal print, but leopard is and always has been my number one since the age of 10. I absolutely love these booties and I love love love this exotic location, your photos, your outfit… what can I say? Beautiful post! I would love to visit this place when I return to San Francisco.
