Hey guys,
So apologies in advance for some of the ridiculously wind swept pics on todays post - the weather at the moment is very un-blogger friendly!
Todays entry is all about how I'm styling my autumn/winter boots ..
The Platform
So first up is the platform, which is the edgier (and braver!) choice for a winter boot. I received some gorgeous black ones from Simmi Shoes recently - I just love the wooden heel and how they look and feel as expensive as Jeffrey Campbells, but for a fraction of the price! Here are 2 ways I styled them:
Red Tartan Dress - Ark Clothing / Grey Crop Jumper - £14.99 Missguided / Black Faux Leather Boots - £30 Simmi Shoes / Spike Necklace - £7.99 New Look / Black Fedora Hat - £25 Topshop / Black Belt - £8 Accessorize
I think these boots are perfect for spicing up a simple outfit, and despite their edginess they do actually go really well with cute skirts or dresses. They also look great with trousers too as shown in the next pics - such a versatile pair of boots! I got a size 6 as I'm usually a 5-6 and they fit like a dream - I would definitely recommend :)
Gingham Joni Jeans - Topshop / Black High Neck Body Suit - £9.99 Missguided / Silver Statement Necklace - £7.99 Newlook / Button Camel Coat - £59 Miss Selfridge / Black Fedora Hat - Topshop / Black Faux Leather Boots - £30 Simmi Shoes
The Knee High
I actually only decided to invest in a pair of knee highs for the first time this year. I had bad memories of wearing them with denim hot pants as a teenager so they usually just make me cringe - but glad I decided to give them another go as they're great (especially when you're not trying to go for the teen cowgirl look!)
Here's how I styled them for first, a simple day look and then, a flirty date night look :)
Green Coat - Miss Selfridge (old) / Blue Denim Joni Jeans - £36 Topshop / Green Printed Top - £30 Topshop / Long heart necklace - Topshop / Black Knee High Boots - £34 New Look
Red Crop Top - £7.99 Select Fashion / Pink Floral Skirt - Pull And Bear (bought on a recent trip to Barcelona) / Black & Gold Bag - Accessorize / Black Knee High Boots - £34 New Look / Black Fedora Hat - £25 Topshop / Black Belt - £8 Accessorize
The Heeled Boot
And last but not least are these cute and comfy brown heeled boots from New Look, which I have worn to death recently! Here's how I styled them with a pretty smock dress & if you check out some of my recent posts you'll find some more looks with them featured in too :)
Black & Red Floral Smock Dress With Lace Trim - £19.99 New Look / Maroon Coat - £89 Miss Patina / Dark Red Fedora - £25 River Island / Brown Buckle Bag - £12 Accessorize / Brown Leather Belt - £22 Accessorize / Brown Heeled Chelsea Boots - £24.99 New Look
Have a great week anyway, and see you soon :)

You may have noticed that all these boots have some type of heel - this is because I'm a massive heel fiend and actually never wear flats (mainly due to the fact that I'm pretty vertically challenged at just 5'3). But I recently found out another great excuse is that it's actually been proven wearing heels can prevent arthritis in the knees. Score!
Have a great week anyway, and see you soon :)
