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???

Lost Without Love

I have become a bit obsessive about t-shirts ever since the weather got a bit warmer. Not the sort of t-shirts that says 'dweeb' or 'geek' (i don't understand why you would want to walk around in a t-shirt that has something like this written on it) But a simple,comfortable easy to style t-shirt that you can wear with anything. I think it was my Celine t-shirt that I wore here that started this obsession and ever since I have been buying t-shirts left right and centre.

This Topshop t-shirt has to be one of my favorites. I'm not the one to normally go for cheesy slogan t-shirts but something about this slogan really got me.  Just found it quite refreshing to see a slogan that actually has a meaning.

I haven't been able to put this t-shirt down lately because I have been wearing it everywhere. With shorts, with jeans, tucked in with skirts, with heels or flats and its perfect. The fabric is so soft and I love the uneven hem.







I haven't taken these M&S sandals off, I absolutely love them. Shorts, skirts, dresses, jeans they are perfect with anything.  I was a bit worried that if I wear them so often the little diamante's will fall off, but so far so good and I have worn them pretty much every single day.







T-shirt - Topshop
Jeans - H&M
Shoes - Marks & Spencer (here)
Bag - Zara 


Apologies for the not so good pictures. The weather was so up and down and I thought it will look better if I used the flasher but it came out too bright. 

What do you think about this outfit?? Are you a fan of slogan t- shirts??
