How friging awesome are these leggings from Style Stalker check them out here. I have been onto a few blogs lately and they have been raving about certain pieces from their Desert Fox campaign but for me these snakebite leggings steal the show they are $249 and sadly I am pretty skint at the moment but if a large pile of cash was to fall into my lap these babies would be mine. Christmas is coming hint hint.

Get Knitted

I have been indecisive about these ASOS knitted shorts for a while now, check them out for yourselves here but after a quick refresh of the D&G A/W10 collection I decided to go for it and ordered them. They have not arrived yet and I hope they are nice as I really like the idea of knitted shorts.

Killer Courts

I have always been more of a boot girl but I have been thinking about the party season that is really only just around the corner and I was thinking about a pair of courts shoes to go with my party outfit this year. I have found some gorgeous ones at Spartoo. They all have an amazing killer heel with the must have platform and those peep toe ones by Steve Madden have to be my favorite especially as I am particial to a few studs or two.

Photobucket



These courts shoes would look stunning teamed with skinny leather trousers or a LBD and I am sure will also get lots of wear after the party season.


Photobucket



If you are looking for something different and dont want black these ones by Morgan have a rose corsage finshed with a zip edge for a twist or how about these grey suede ones by Pura Lopez with their unusual platform and tiny well placed studs.

Inspired by Nature

I love shoes don't we all they are a great way to change an outfit always cheer you up on a shopping trip as your shoe size never changes like a dress size. I also love that there are so many styles to choose from. One of my favorites styles is shoes inspired by nature I am talking about animal prints I have picked a few of my favorites from Spartoo. I love leopard print as you are all aware but I am also partial to a bit of snake skin and I think this will be a big trend for Spring Summer 10 thanks to Burberry.

Leopard Print Boot by Ravel Leopard Print Pump by Pedro Miralles

I love how an animal skins change the look of an everyday boot giving them a more edgy look. Take these military boots that we have all been rocking this past year and the style is still going strong make them in a crocodile skin and they instantly become more edgy and unusual.

Crocodile Skin Boot by Espace Snake Skin Cowboy Boot by Tropeziennes

I love these boots by Irregular choice they are totally inspired by nature how cute is the kitten brooch and the snake skin finish gives this otherwise cute boot a harder twist.

It's Raining, It's Pouring

The UK has been so wet this last week so it is out with the wellies. I treated myself to a pair of patent black hunter wellies back in February when we had all that snow and I had to walk into work the only thing I found was my feet got so cold in them I had to wear two pairs of thick socks. I was looking at the Spartoo website and found that they were stocking the Hunter wellie socks and bonus they had the leopard print ones too so straight into the basket they went. Now I am hoping that we do get some snow this winter so that I can strut my leopard trimmed wellies.

Photobucket

Wellies have had a fashion moment thanks to Miss Moss and the boot of choice is the Hunter welly but if you are looking for something more fun I have found these pairs by Be Only available at Spartoo.


Photobucket

These boots would make any rainy day more cheerful there is no excuse not to look stylish even in the rain. Love those bright red cowboy boots great for festivals too and with Christopher Bailey sending all that snake skin print down the runway for S/S11 those snake skin print ones will be bang on trend.

Brand Focus Ash

Photobucket

I discovered this brand a few years ago and what I really love about Ash is their shoes cover most occasions and they have a wide selection of styles to suit everyone's tastes. They have eveything from glam rock style to casual girl about town. So I want to share with you the delights of Ash and show you some of my favorites from this seasons collection.

Photobucket

For you girls who love a good comfy casual shoe to go with cargo pants or skinny jeans these cute boots with the sporty feel are perfect and for girls like me who cant be without a heel they do them with a wedge.

Photobucket


They also have a fabulous selection of biker boots with a difference and these with their studded uppers are the perfect biker chick boot.

For some glam rock these three pairs have that and some. This last pair are my favourite so simple but oh so chic the chain detail around the ankle make them rock and how amazing would they look accessorised with a Chanel 255 and a pair of kick ass leather trousers, I also like the length a little different I feel.

All these Ash shoes are at Spartoo and they also have 20% off selected lines.

Tracker Treads

I am always on the look out for boots with a difference as you all know I have a uniform that I have to wear for six months a year before I can change it so I find the easiest way to up date a look is by accessories and the main one for me is boots. You can change the feel of an outfit just by the style of footwear you chose. At the moment I really like my shoes to have a lot of hard wear and a badass feel.

Photobucket

I am liking tracker treads at the moment not only are they ultra comfortable because of the rubber sole and grip but they are hard and mean looking too. I have found these ones all by Cop Copine and they have the extra badass feel with that awesome toe that reminds me of a rhinoceros. All of these bad boys have everything that I look for in a boot.

Photobucket

Photobucket

All of these stunning boots are by Cop Copine and are available on the Spartoo website. They also do other styles of shoes and boots and are worth a look if you are on the hunt for something a little different.

What you think of the tracker tread???

A little va va voom

There are so many fabulous boot trends around this season there are the obvious ones like the thigh high boot and shearling lined boot and I mentioned the Chelsea boot come back a while ago here and I have also noticed that the cowboy boot which is normally a favoured boot of mine for summer also has a place for fall, but the boot that has caught my eye is the biker boot the sheer hardness and durability of these boots makes them perfect for winter and added with a cute floral dress puts an edgey twist to a girly look and a perfect partner for this seasons chunky knits.

Photobucket

There is a style to suit everyones taste now this pair by Ash is so me. I like things a little more edgey and with those pyamid studs on the uppers these boots have personality.

Photobucket

So these one by Air Step do not really have a classic biker style but I feel they can pass as a biker boot and with those buckles they have a bit of a Burberry vibe about them.

Photobucket

For you more traditional chicks how about these ones by Elite they have the classic biker boot look but the studs on the ankle harness give them a rock chick feel.

Photobucket

Now for you guys looking for something a little more on trend then these shearling lined ones by Best Mountain are spot on and perfect for harsh snowy winters.

All these boots are available at Spartoo

Parky

Parka Internation, Dress Farhi by Nicole Farhi, Boots Next, Cycling Shorts H&M

Like I have said before I follow trends but I do not let them rule what I wear and I am glad to see the parka is trending for A/W10 and it is also a great transitional piece especially in the UK with all the rain we get I throw this one over everything and it always seems to work.

Thought I would share some images with you from Vanessa Bruno's A/W10 collection some real inspirational layering looks that I will be rocking. I really love the mix of colours and the styling of the scarfs and belts. See the full collection here oh and look socks with knee high boots. If any of you guys are looking for a decent pair of chunky otk socks I have found an awesome pair in River Island and they come in grey, cream and black and only £6.99 I have brought three pairs so far.

To the Knees Please

I have not worn knee high boots for ages and that means I have also not brought a pair for a while. I have decided that I want to invest in a pair this season as I like the way they look with chunky socks peeking out of the top. They will also be a perfect choice to team with this seasons must have item the camel cape. I checked out Spartoo for some inspiration and ideas and found this quirky cuff by One Step that you add over your shoe I could always get one of these and turn all my ankle boots into knee high boots.

Photobucket

These two pairs in grey will complement camel the big colour trend of this season. I Love the suede ones by Cafe Noir how cute is the little stud detail on the front of them and the block heel. I also think these ones by XTI will go with shorts and skinny jeans for a great rock chick look.

Photobucket

Grey Suede Boots by Cafe Noir Grey Slouch Boots by XTI
Brown will also team well with camel and I love the detail at the top of these ones by Pedro Miralles it gives them a real boho feel they would go perfectly with my brown leather look shorts and camel cape.

Brown Suede Boots By Pedro Miralles

A perfect choice of knee high boots all from Spartoo that would look great with the top current trends for A/W10.

A Furry Tale

Photobucket

When you think shearling boots you probably automatically think Ugg but thanks to Chanel's crazy but very inspiring A/W10 collection fur lined boots have taken on a new meaning and I have been checking out Spartoo to see what they have on offer and I am very impressed there is certainly a style of fur lined boot for every taste and style. My fav have to be the Morgan ones with the fabulous over the top fur cuff, buckles and straps very me they also come in black and are very affordable at £79.00.

Fur Cuffed Hiking Boots by Tropeziennes

These fur cuffed hiking boots by Tropeziennes are perfect if you want a boot to match this seasons must have aviator jacket the only problem would be what colour to pick hmmmmm.

Photobucket

Suede Fur Cuffed boot by Chie Mihara and Black Fur Cuffed Boot by Pedro Miralles

OK so for you guys looking for something a little more formal but still working the furry trend these two pairs offer you just that, loving that platform on the Pedro Miralles bootie a very classic style.

So this how I am going to embrace that mad Chanel trend what about you guys????? Or do you want to go for the full on Yetti look :)

Dare to Bare

Photobucket

Dress Day Birger, Hat Stefenal, Boot Topshop (old), Boot Cuff Ebay
I am so going to embrace the trend of bare legs, socks and boots as seen on the Marni, Rag & Bone and Marc by Marc Jacob runways to name a few. The only downside is that I am going to have to keep my legs tanned normally the A/W season means legs can be hiden under tights and forgotten about until the summer not for this season. I must admit I have really enjoyed the sock and shoe trend so I am happy that it was rolled over into A/W.

Buckles, Straps & Hardwear

There is so many footwear trends around this season and with the stores and websites slowly giving us a taste of there A/W stock I thought I would check out what new arrivals Spartoo have. I really want my footwear this season to have serious hardwear from buckles, straps to studs. The trend this season is also bare legs and socks are going to replace tights eekkk I hear you shout but I think I will embrace this trend the weather does not get that seriously cold until November anyway so we have a few months to rock this look. So here are my top five new arrivals from Spartoo.

Photobucket

Ankle Boot by Neosens Buckle Boots by Mosquitos

These boots are perfect with this seasons oversized knits and avaitor jackets teamed with chunky knit over the knee socks. See you can ditch tights and still be warm. The taupe colour will also tone well with this seasons must have colour camel.

Photobucket

Ankle Chain Boots by Vanili Knee High Boots by Neosens Fringe Boots by Buffalo
Take inspiration from Marni and wear sheer knee high hold ups with a knee high boot these boots by Neosens would be perfect. How amazing are those Buffalo fringe boots.

What A/W footwear trends are you going to rock and are you brave enough to go bare legged????

A Dream

I love the Melissa Plastic Dreams shoe collaborations this time they have teamed up with quirky Brazilian fashion designer Alexandre Herchovitch and he has put his signature style on the famous rubber shoes a cute two tone cream and grey derby and they come in plain black and a lace up wedge which I think has a 40's feel about them and they also come in black.

Photobucket


Spartoo is stocking the full range as well as Melissa's own new season designs she has relaunced the cute little ankle boot from last A/W in black, grey and blue and studs have been added for an interesting twist and then there is the cute high heeled Mary Janes in a very sexy red. I think I need to invest in those super cute studded black ankle booties I can see these working with my new seasons work wardrobe and I bet they will be comfortable too.

Ashanti & Temptation

Do you guys own any Melissa Plastic Dreams shoe and what do you think of these ones????????

A little while back I told you about Stefanel's S/S10 collection and how impressed I was with the styling and prints. Well their A/W10 collection has hit the stores and it is just as awesome as their S/S10 if not better. I have my name on the floppy brim trilby hat they have the cream one but I want black. They have the most amazing collection of knitwear which we all know is a huge hit for A/W10 especially worn chunky and oversized and they have plenty of these best styled with otk sock or tights with chunky heeled boots. You can see the full collection here
