A chill in the air

7 Nov

November and December are perhaps my favourite months of the year. Ignoring the horrible cold I have, the icy conditions and the sleet that soaks right through you, it is the most wonderful time of the year. The shops are filled with Christmas goodies, it’s acceptable to have a mince pie and Starbucks is the only place for a toffee nut latte. Fresh Christmas trees line the streets of my market town ready to be purchased and planted and the first blanket of snow can be seen.

November means it’s certainly too cold just for a thin jacket and my beloved snakeskin flats are replaced by riding boots, Wellingtons and every outfit comes with a pair of earmuffs or a bobble hat. Fashion at this time of year is so cosy and warm. Everyone is bundled up, stylish leather gloves and all.

There are so many beautiful items of clothing and darling accessories out at the moment that just make me excited to walk through the snowy lanes of Nottingham. Here are my 7 favourite pieces at the moment- one treat for every day of the week!

DREAM BOOTS!

2 Jan

Hello, you beauties! I’ve always been a fan of Red or Dead shoes since I was a little girl and their quirky styles have never stopped making my heart skip a beat since. When I saw these Ettore boots exclusive to Schuh, I nearly died of happiness. From the art deco style to the stripes to the 14cm heel, it was always going to be love!

The Red or Dead Ettore boots are exclusive to Schuh and cost £140. Statement shoes or what?!
