Winter Boots

Winter Boots

Can you believe it’s November! And for the first week of November, I thought boots is one of the first winter  items to shop for.

Although the weather has been mild, it is definitely time to shop for winter essentials.

I love boots they are one of my favourite pieces to go shopping for, and you can never have enough to keep you through winter.

My debate was whether to write about ankle boots or knee highs boots, I could not decide as both are a winner for this season so I decided to post about a mixture of styles.

If you feel like your stuck in a style rut a new pair of boots can update your wardrobe instantly.

It can take time trying different boots to see what suits you best, but once you find a good pair, it is easy to build outfits.

Whatever your size and shape a good pair of signature boots is a must have in your wardrobe.

 

The Riding Boot. Something that I think will never go out of fashion. The heritage look is really on trend for winter and these are a real staple. A good investment, and will last for a  few winters. These are from Office £120.

The Animal Print Boot. Animal print is really in fashion this season. Leopard print, seems to be the best investment and these are great if you just want a subtle hint of print, these are also another bargain from Asos £40 reduced from £50 !

The Ankle Boot. Great with jeans and paired with dresses. The ankle boot is a must have wardrobe piece. This pair from Alexander McQueen £720, Are suede and look great teamed with your favourite skinny jeans.

The Brogue. One of my favourite types of boot and I am always on the hunt for a good pair! I am in love with these ones from ASOS £27. Reduced from £45.  An absolute bargain! These have a cute little heel, are great to dress up jeans. Also very flattering on the legs and the lace up is a nice added touch.

The Biker Boot. I adore biker boots, sometimes it is hard to find a pair that are not chunky,  but still feminine. Zara have some gorgeous winter boots these are perfect for wearing casually, but still looking stylish. Zara £59.99.

The Knee High Boot. For these dark winter evenings these knee high boots from Topshop £95. Are fantastic, the fact they have a heel means they are also super stylish!

 


FAUX FUR

FAUX FUR

Faux Fur is making a massive comeback for winter,  great for accessorising with and on trend for this season.

If you are not a fan of real fur , faux fur is the way forward and with the quality you can now get, there is no reason not to try a few key pieces for the season !

When I think of fur I think of Hollywood glamour and elegance, Fur is a great way of building up outfits and layering but keeping warm at the same time.

To start with this fabulous bag form Marc Jacobs £350 is gorgeous and goes with many outfits.

Leopard print seems to never go out of fashion and this skater dress from ASOS £85 is a great shape and balances out your figure by clinching in at the waist, looks great teamed with opaque tights!

I could not resist picking this cute vest from Temperley £295, which has a wonderful wide collar and belt detail, a great piece for layering over leather jackets and knitwear.

Now this is a shop I rarely go to, but I found this collar in River Island £13 and thought it would be perfect tied around last years winter coats and cardigans an investment piece for an instant update, and a great price too.

And finally, for those of you that have Hunter boots these are gorgeous Fur Trim socks £30 , will definitely keep you warm and stylish through winter.

Crazy for Canvas!

Canvas is a great fabric of choice for a bag as it can be lightweight, come in a variety of colours and prints and, as it tends to be a whole lot cheaper than the leather alternatives, it can be a cheap way of updating your wardrobe and look. Here’s three picks we just adore:

We love the candy coloured stripes of this little clutch -  perfect for injecting a bit of fun and colour into any ensemble. ASOS, £8 (down from £25!) Read more of Crazy for Canvas!
