Wonderland

Finally an outfit post! I have been dying to do an outfit post lately but been struggling to find the time and even when I do have a minute or two it's been raining none stop.

You will see a lot of leather and fur this winter here. I have been a bit obsessive about leather and fur since the weather got a bit cold.

This skirt is one of my favorite items in my wardrobe at the moment. I promised my self that no matter how freezing cold it gets I'm going to wear more skirts and dresses this winter because as soon as it gets cold I normally just live in jeans and trousers and never experiment. 

 

Cropped tops have never been my thing but since getting my self some high waisted skirts and shorts I have been purchasing more and more cropped tops, in the form of t-shirts, shirts and sweaters. I'm not a winter person and I never get excited about layering up to the point where I can barely breath but I have  kinda been enjoying dressing for winter this year. It's mainly due to the fact that I have finally found items that I enjoy putting on in the morning. 

  Top - Zara (here)

   Skirt- Zara

  Boots - M&S (here)

Bag - eBay (here)

Don't get too excited about the handbag it's not what you think it is!! I actually bought it on eBay couple of months ago and I'm surprised how amazing the quality is. It also doesn't hurt that it looks so much like the actual Celine bag..:-) It's big enough to fit in all my bits and bobs and so easy to carry around as it's got the short handle as well as the adjustable long strap and quite a few compartments inside the bag. 

I have also got some exciting news! Singer22 is website that I came across recently as they awarded me with their "Arbiter of style" award. They have some amazing products and with Christmas around the corner there are quite a few pieces that I have added on to my wishlist :-)

What are your staple items this winter?? How do you incorporate these in to your everyday winter wardrobe?? Would love to hear your thoughts and ideas:-)

These boots are made for walkin'???

So it's that time of the year again and to be honest I don't know why people claim to love this time of the year. I'm a summer person all the way. You would not ever hear me complaining about heat waves, in fact I love it. 

Let me tell you the first thing I hate about this weather. Shoes!!! I hate shopping for any sort of shoes because I can never find the right fit because I have such weirdly proportionate legs and feet. I'm a clothes size 6 and my feet are a very wide size 7, this is not helped by the fact that I have the tiniest ankles and calf's. 

So the transition started by me researching and shopping for boots. I was so prepared this time that I even found a cobbler (yes!! They still exists!!) I was ready to pay any amount of money for the right pair. But my excitement died little by little when I kept on trying pair after pair after pair. 

So here I am after purchasing 3 pairs of shoes in less than a week and still depressed as ever.

So my first pair are the famous MONTI cut out leather boots from Topshop. For some weird reason I could fit in to a size 6, which did make me very happy but I still had to get two extra holes on to the strap to get it to fit better around my ankle. All in all I'm quite pleased with these but how long  I can wear these before my toes freeze was what I kept thinking.

 So I went and bought these M&S Collection ankle boots with Insolia for £35. They are quite cheap and comfortable. Insolia  redistribute your weight away from the balls of the feet, which reduces pressure and increase ankle stability. Even though they said this will allow me to wear these boots all day long, at the end of a 8 hours shift I'm dying to get these off my feet. The boots are quite a wide fit and the heel is not too high so very practical and the fact that its got an adjustable buckle around the ankle makes it a lot workable for a person like me with tiny ankles. I have got to say that M&S have come to my rescue time after time in the past few seasons with their shoes and I am now a massive fan.

And then when I popped into Topshop to get some of their frilly socks I came across these shoes. They are the MUMBLE Croc Monk shoes. I fell in love with them the minute I put them on my feet. Its made with very soft leather like material so its very light and comfortable. Again I had to go a size down to a size 6. I don't know whats wrong with Topshop shoes that you have to go a size down. Size 7 was a bit too big and size 6 was quite a bit tight but the sales assistant assured me to go for the size 6 saying they will definitely stretch. I have worn them a couple of times and they still haven't stretched that much.

 I'm hoping these three pairs will see me through autumn and winter because I refuse to buy anymore shoes. 

 Where do you buy your winter shoes from?? What are the best places to buy comfortable shoes that doesn't make you want to cry at the end of the day???
