The Reasons I Tolerate Autumn
As I stand at my sink washing dishes, I look outside and see some leaves on the trees turning beautiful colors while others lay on the ground waiting for someone to rake them up. I’m filled with a mixture of emotions as I try to navigate whether this makes me happy or not. My bird feeder has less birds than normal and I haven’t seen any chipmunks in the area in a couple weeks. It wasn’t until I moved to Los Angeles and no longer had the experience of viewing the life cycle of the leaves that I realized how glorious it truly is. So I soak up the beauty as much as I can at home as well as when we are in the car. The colors are vibrant and awe-inspiring, but the reality is also quite clear. Winter is just around the corner. It’s frustrating and exciting at the same time. I hate the colder weather, but I treasure the opportunity to put boots on.
Especially when they are this cute! Right?!
You’ve heard me rave about my Lugz boots and how much I totally love them. I do. They are my first choice of footwear whenever I’m wearing jeans. The Sophia boots had a place front and center in my closet because black pretty much goes with anything. But there were a few times I pushed the fashion envelope by wearing them when I probably should have made a better choice. Remember, I said I wore them whenever possible! I’ve been on the lookout for an alternative but hadn’t found it until now: Lugz Flirt Hi Zip boots.
As much as I hate the cold weather, I love being able to pull on a pair of boots. Like my Sophia boots, the Lugz Flirt Hi Zip are stylish and comfortable. While they may look somewhat basic, if you take a closer look, you’ll notice the reason for their name. Lacing the shoes can be cumbersome so the zipper allows me to slip them off and on without having to take the time to re-lace them. Okay, these are officially my favorite lazy-person’s boots!
There is no doubt how much I expect these to be my new go-to boot and the reason why I’m tolerating the cooler temperatures. Of course, I’m also excited that Scott was able to find a new pair that he claims may be his new favorite. The Lugz Boomer chukkas are stylish and they fit is feet well. He’s worn them several times since getting them and hasn’t had any issues with the discomfort that often comes with new footwear.
We’re thrilled that Lugz is allowing us to the opportunity to introduce one of our readers to these new favorites. Check out Lugz on Twitter and Facebook to keep up with their latest styles and enter to win one of these boots.
What I love about Autumn, which by the way is my favorite time of year, are the beautiful colors and the cooler weather.
I love the colorful leaves and fall cooking.
Its hard to chose just one thing I like best about autumn. I guess I would say the cooler weather, but I really love everything from the leaves, to the apple orchards, to the holidays.
This is the first true winter I’m having as an adult and can’t wait to wear my boots! I’ve lived in FL my whole adult life, but we’re moving into a place in NJ tomorrow. I’ve never tried Lugz before because quite frankly there’s no need for boots in FL, but I have been waiting so long to wear all the cute boots I can and now the time has come!
What I like best about autumn is the cooler weather and getting out side and just enjoying all the beauty.I love to get out and take small hikes through the woods with my family and exploring all that we can find be it a pretty leaf or the animals that we run across.
I hate the cold weather that comes with fall but love the fashion, including boots!
Autumn is my favorite season! I love the cooler air and temperatures.

I like watching the trees change color — it amazes me how it happens just a little everyday.
I really don’t like autumn, but if I had to pick one thing it would be that it means Christmas is coming!

Autumn is beautiful. The colors and the weather every year just refresh me. I love winter too, so I don’t mind a thing about it.
I love the colorful leaves.
I love when the leaves on the trees change colors. It is as if God painted the treetops with a paintbrush.

Pumpkins, apples and the beautiful leaves that are peak color is my favorite things about fall. Thanks for a great giveaway!
What I like best about autumn is the cooler weather and the change in the colors of the leaves and grass. I live in Mississippi and there is so much harvesting going on. I love the smells of harvest. Soil being turned over, gins running….just can’t beat those reminders that fall is here!
I love all the colors of the leaves. Living down in the valley surrounded by hills things are beautiful that time of year!
I love being able to wear long sleeves and winter cloths , Feeling the brisk air hitting against my face. Just enough that you turn away to fight the cold air. winter and fall are beautiful times of the year to hike.
what i like most about this time of year is the cooler weather, able to wear boots, leggings,and sweaters. i love the Fall colors, watching the trees change colors, and having my morning coffee with my mom!
Autumn is my favorite time of the year. I love seeing the color’s of the leaves change and the first chill in the air.
I love Autumn mornings when it’s cool and crisp and I enjoy hearing the birds chirp while I drink my morning coffe!!
Its my favorite time of the year
In Autumn, I like the quiet and reflective feeling of being outside on a windy yet sunny day as the leaves fall on the ground.
I hate winter, and fall means that winter is coming (not to get all Game of Thrones on you). I enjoy going into the snow, but the temperatures around here make it so restrictive to enjoy, especially with young children. However, those boots are quite nice looking, and I love the zipper!
Autumn is my favorite season! I get really happy because football begins!
