A Fellow Cowboy Boot Lover

Photobucket

I have and always will love a cowboy boot. I don't care if they are in or out of fashion for me they are a classic item of footwear that I will wear forever. Whenever I wear cowboy boots I am always asked where they are from I met a fellow cowboy boot lover at work the other day she stopped me in the corridor and asked me where I had got my boots from we then both had a fabulous conversation about cowboy boots she has been wearing them since she was 15 she is in her early twenties now and her beloved cowboy boots had met there end and she was looking to replace them. I told her about Spartoo and with there final reductions and up to 70% off I am sure she will find another pair to replace them.

The ones I was wearing were by Buffalo I love the mahogany colour with the gold studs so unusual and striking and they are so comfortable and are made from the most gorgeous leather with a slight destressed look.

Some more stunning cowboy boots by Buffalo so if like me and my fellow collegue you love cowboy boots I highly recommend checking out Spartoo's sale and grabing yourself a bargain.

Vintage Playsuit Ebay, Hat New Look, Cycling Shorts H&M, Wedges Ebay

I brought this playsuit from ebay last year. I had it shortened as it was to the knee not a very flattering length I love the print as parts of it look like leopard print. To give it a twist I teamed it with those shoes that I cant walk in again.

Had a good day shopping yesterday I brought this gorgeous Topshop shirt which I totally love and this leopard print bustier which was a bargain £7.00 from TK Maxx and it goes perfectly under the shirt. My brother was round when I was taking the pictures and he was like yuck leopard print I love leopard print but it does seem to get bad press I explained to him that when worn the right way it looks amazing. I did not sell it to him but I love it.

Dress John Zack via Ebay, Wedges Pied a Terre, Watch Ebay, Rings H&m & Claires Accessories

I off shopping today and if I do not find anything there are some things I want on ASOS. My friend gave me these shoes and I love them the colour is perfect with cream and I brought myself three pairs of these leopard print knee high socks from H&M they go with everything and I cant stop wearing them. My snake ring is from Claires Accessories and a bargain £4.50 I have not been in there for ages and was very surprised by how many nice things they have.

My boots that I spent the last two days waiting for. I went for the bigger size in the end I want them for work and seeing as I am on my feet eight hours a day they need to be comfortable. The second addition to my A/W wardrobe check out Nexts shoe collection here they have a gorgeous selction I know I will be back for more.

Shirt H&M, Shorts Levis 501, Cycling Shorts H&M, Boots Ebay, Necklace Untold (old), Bag Linea

Well my cloots turned up yesterday and I am not sure about the size so I am now waiting in for another pair to be delivered in the next size up. I am also looking after my ten year old nephew the school holidays have now started he makes my laugh so much he is super intelligent and likes to watch all these weird science programmes.

A sheer shirt was on my fall want list I did not go for white as it does not really suit me because of my hair colour I kind of blend into it so I went for black this one was a bargain £7.99 from H&M and I love it, it is slightly longer at the back so it is going to look awesome with skinny jeans or leggings. I have also got big hair today lol and I love these shoes but they are so dam hard to walk in.

I am waiting in for my clog boots or cloots to arrive from Next I just hope they are as nice in real life as the picture on their website I have never brought anything from Next before so I am not sure about sizing or quality.
The weather today is grey and rainy but still warm so this parka is a great item to throw over cut offs and a vest. I also went for messy hair so easy to do and very lazy :).

I am in love with this big fluffy alpaca dream of a cardigan. I am also pleased that I am getting wear from it now the temperature has dropped a little and it is perfect for wearing into work. I am going to get so much wear from it. I know it is really wrong to wish the summer away but I am looking forward to autumn.

Penny for Your Thoughts

Photobucket

Wear them high or low the Loafer is making a come back. This sensible shoe which has never really been in or out of fashion since it was first seen in the 1930's and originates from Norway is the footwear to be seen in next season thanks to the reinvention by Balenciaga's A/W10 collection. Loafers have been the shoe of choice for both work and leisure for along time but now they have a place on fashionistas feet. I have been searching the Spartoo website and have found some that would update any wardrobe and I was very excited to see ones with a heel and a wedge a modern twist on a classic shoe.

I love the purple suede ones by Pare Gabia these would update a work wardrobe and they also come in black and with 9cm heel they will be super comfortable as well as stylish. Wear them with tailored trousers and chunky socks to really stand out.

How about the patent cream leather wedge Loafer by Geox with the original diamond detailed band associated with a Loafer.

Photobucket


For you guys who like the classic loafer and want to wear them low how about these white ones again by Pare Gabia


Photobucket

I think all of these Loafers are a great choice for work or play and would give any outfit an interesting twist and they are all in the Spartoo's Summer sale too.

Are you guys going to work this trend???

Dress Farhi by Nicole Farhi, Boots Gifted
I love the shape of this dress it is gorgeous and the fabric is light enough to wear now. I have been wearing my hair at the side I really want an under cut but unfortunately my hair is too fine and it would not look right so this is a compromise. I am loving Topshops new collection and I was so surprised to see so much in my local store and as a big big big animal print fan I was in heaven.

I brought this polka dot playsuit a while ago from Primark the hat is also from Primark. I find my local Primark is not very good when it first opened I found some amazing pieces but lately it has only stocked basics. They are opening one in the Town where I work so I think I will be spending some of my lunch breaks in there searching for a little gem or two. I scored this Chanel handbag last year from a car boot sale it is not real but it has a great look about it.

Masculine Style

Women's footwear has been taking inspiration from the guys lately. Who has not worked the worker boot the last couple of seasons. Brogues, Derby's and Jazz shoes have been around for a while but they do not have to be that masculine I have found some cute and unusual ones at Spartoo. They look awesome with a peg leg or tapered trousers and a smart blazer and for a girly twist team them with a cute floral print dress a very English eccentric look.

Photobucket

White Brogues by Kesslord Black Brogues by Minelli

How gorgeous are these classic Brogues they have all the details in the right places and the low heel on the whites ones make them super girly.

Photobucket

Polka Dot Derby by Stephane Verdino Bronze Derby by Regard

My favorite has to the Derby and these bronze studded metallic ones by Regard rock and how cute are the black and white polka dot ones by Stephane Verdino they also have them in a gingham print these would look fab with peg leg trousers.

Photobucket

Silver Jazz Shoes by Kesslord Black Wedge by Sinlea

I had to wear jazz shoes when I was training to be a Beauty Therapist and I hated them funny how times changed they look awesome with skinny jeans and leggings and how about those patent wedge ones perfect for next season.

Still inspired by Topshops rough diamond collection I decided to drag these leopard print jeans out I got them from Primark last year I have also won a pair of leopard print trousers on ebay hopefully they will be nice as I want them to be a stable for my A/W wardrobe. I also need to get myself a sheer long shirt in cream or black I quite like the cut out back one from Topshop.

I have been busy selling some bits on ebay too so I am going to treat myself to a pair of cloots :)
