Boots - The never ending story.....

What is it with finding the perfect pair of boots for the winter? I rarely can and if I do they are usually silly price!! Don't worry people I am on the case!! a few things I have found on my travels!! Current front runner? Newbie - Kate Maconie (will have to try them on for fit but they looking like a big contender) On saying that I have read that she designed her line to provide comfortable high fashion shoes for women so I am excited to go and try them!

Love the details she uses the colours and the block heels are just where I am at right now......

J'Adore....

I received this amazing book as a present recently and its a must own!! Great images of all the Dior backstage antics and intimate images of Mr G himself nice to see he is so relaxed and sociable backstage! there is more than one picture if the models smoking in there Haute. Can you imagine?!? I would be having a heart attack, goodness help the woman who would risk dropping ash on a Galliano creation.

None the less it seems they are having super fun! I wanna be there!!!!

A selection of my faves so far...can't wait to sit down and have a good look!

Little Lacy Number.

Picked this dress up in H&M I really like it but I did feel slightly Morticia Adams by the end of the day. Ha!

I have seen a similar one in Reiss but wasn't keen on the colour. I think you have to be careful when wearing something as detailed as lace all over and the best bet is to always go for it in a colour which plays it down.

Talking of the 60's....

How much am I loving these cocktail dresses? I really don't think you need be wearing tight short clothing to show off good legs. Somtimes a little swing in a dress or skirt is nicer :0)

All you need is a Chambord Champange cocktail.

Perfect.

Dolce&Gabbana £755

Notte by Marchesa £595

Hats Off

Even though I love a good hat, I never got into the habit of spending a ton on them. I just don't seem to get the wear out of them to make it worth while. But then along came the wide brimmed fedora.....and I may  have finally found an apt city hat! wide brimmed enough to stop you looking like Pork Pie and shapely/ androgynous enough to stop you looking like you should be on a beach in 1962. Still wasn't sold with the price tags nearing the 100's though.

Then on a little trip to TK Maxx I found this perfect (wool) fedora for a mere £12 - SOLD!! 

Rag & Bone £95

Fruitless measures

I have just ordered a cape from ASOS. Given that I have been looking for a non capey casual camel coat and have not found one to date I have had to admit defeat and get myself a cape. I have tried to stay away from what the high street is flooded with at the moment trying not to find myself having deja vu (yes I was here the first time capes were "in") getting it in Khaki for a start and also I think the style is cute with the little hood.

While I was there I was seduced by a new Illa Masque polish named Scarab I really like the complexity of the shade. But if I am really honest as soon as I saw the name I was sold! Ahhh such a marketers dream am I!!!
