|| Wish List || Ankle Boots ||


"The beauty of something so architecturally bold is that you don't need to complicate the rest of the outfit. They look casually rock'n'roll with jeans or leather trousers, or tailor them up with cropped suit trousers." 
Justin O'Shea // Buying Director // Mytheresa.com

My current obsession right now is, clearly, ankle boots. I just love them. When I was younger I always used to have a pair, (looking back at them now, they are hideous and I'm embarrassed to think I wore them) but as I've gotten older I've found it harder to find a pair that I really like. But this season I'm overjoyed at the larger array of ankle boots that have stormed off the catwalk and into out High Streets.
Most stores have a large selection of them, in various styles, colours and materials - a style for everyone.

I personally am really drawn to the Chelsea boots Cut-Out boots that are drifting around the shops. Chelsea boots have been around for God knows how long, but yet again the former Victorian riding boot has made a return to our wardrobes with some designers giving an elegant and exciting makeover; such as Nicholas Kirkwood and Christopher Kane. I am also absolutely in awe of the healed ankle boots. I love the thickness of the heal, and how it adds a lovely feminine touch to a pair of heavy-weight boots.

|| DIY || Fixing that broken zip on your favourite shorts ||


A few months back I bought these pair of shorts from this store called Willow, which in just a few words is absolutely amazing and is by far my favourite shop.

Anyway, along with its ethnic clothing, accessories and 'homey-wear' it also stocks Retro Kitten clothing, and I bought these shorts from that very section in the shop. They were £15 (quite a bit more money than what I normally spend on clothes but I really needed some new shorts, and non-high-waisted-shorts look awful on me.)
I immediately fell in love with them, and they are unbelievably comfortable and go with literally everything I own, so they were an excellent purchase.
As you can see they are black corduroy that is slightly faded and high waisted with a slight turn up on the thigh.
