Shoe Boots

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Shoe boots are the perfect piece of footwear for this time of year. With the temperature dropping you don’t want to be going out in the evenings with your feet exposed. They are a great item to wear with your day to night outfit at work, ideal for all the Christmas office parties coming up and they are also one of the more flattering / sexy pieces of footwear you can own!

Like with any shoe, the size of the heel is vital. Always make sure you buy the heel this right for you and for when you want to wear it. Some sky scraper heels can be mega sexy but not if you can’t walk in them! Kitten heels can be very practical but be sure to avoid the frumpy look. Always good to think as well if you want a shoe boot that will look good with both jeans and skirts/dresses as some are more suited to trousers, so try remember this when you’re trying them on, envisage them in another outfit as well!

Here are some of my favourite shoe boots available at the moment…

For those of you who don’t want to risk wearing something too high try these, from Ash (available on my-wardrobe)

If you can handle a bit more height to your heel try these from LK Bennett:

Stylish Knitwear

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

A good few pieces of knitwear is the perfect addition to your wardrobe this season. Jumpers and cardigans that are good quality will look stylish and be wearable for a long time.

Here is a selection of some classic designs that will look chic this season!

 

This is a classic roll neck from DVF £180, works with so many outfits, looks great thrown together with jeans or looks chic and stylish for work tucked into a pencil skirt and add a skinny belt to make an outfit.

A lovely warm colour for winter and flattering on the shoulders!

This chunky cream sweater from Reiss £140, originally reduced from £175. A classic cable knit sweater. The length is nice and long.

Perfectly cosy for winter days, and looks on trend at the same time.

 

 

For something slightly smarter this fine knit from Mango £27.92 is gorgeous. I love the sheer sleeves that make this an interesting piece.

Great if you want to cover up your arms in the evenings.

Stunning day to night piece. Simply team with pencil skirts, trousers or jeans for a smart casual look! Love the polka dot detailing and the bow neckline!

 

 

 

 

Last I had to include sequins my latest obsession! This cardigan from Topshop £48 is one of my favourite pieces.

Looks great just with a t-shirt and jeans or alternatively on a night out over a black dress!

The half sleeve is very flattering and the sequins are not to over the top! Also I have to say the price point is also good considering the gorgeous detail! A must have bit of sparkle for the Christmas period.

Winter Coats!

Monday, November 21st, 2011

The temperatures are dropping and it’s time to say farewell to the trusty jacket and bring out those winter coats. We’re starting to feel the chill now and so this is the perfect time to go out and purchase possibly one of the winter wardrobe’s least favourite item; the winter coat.

Winter coats can be big and bulky as they’re meant to keep us warm, however you don’t have to loose your shape by wearing a winter sac, instead opt for coats that have some sort of tailoring, or details such as belts to nip you in at the waist and reveal your feminine figure.

Take this beautiful Reiss coat, the large collar is a great feature, and the tailoring behind it will ensure your shape is not lost in the midst of a warm, thick coat. The colour is great as well as it creates a softer look against a harsh winter backdrop.

Don’t be afraid to embrace colour and go for a winter coat that isn’t black or grey. Wearing this Diane von furstenberg coat will warm you up instantly in this great, deep red colour. The belt helps enhance the feminie figure and the length will be sure to keep you warm on those cold winter days.

 

If you’re budget can’t quite stretch to DVF prices – head to French Connection who always have a great range of winter coats to choose from, such as this cream belted coat which is under £200. A feminine neckline and the belt making another appearence, this will be a winner for lots of you I’m sure!

I hope that has given you some inspiration to find your perfect winter coat – if you find anything else, feel free to comment and share your purchases, we’re always keen to see what our readers have been buying!
