Summer Staples: Fashion

The weather has been glorious in the UK at the moment, its the hot topic of conversation for everyone. I'm still trying to find my summer style, not sure if I want to get the legs out just yet. Instead, I've been going for floral tops, light coats and sandals to complement whatever bottoms I wear. This post is all about my current go to staples, the items that are going to see me straight through, come rain or shine! 

Currently Loving #5

I am awful at favourites posts! Always forget when it comes to the end of the month, which products I have been loving and then I always fear that I'll have forgotten something. Not this month, I actually remembered what I have been loving and its a real mix of beauty and fashion along with lifestyle. 

The Shoes That Go With Everything

I never really used to be a shoes person, the cheapest pair of ballet pumps from Primark used to do me. Until last year, I suddenly became more aware of how a good pair of shoes can make or break an outfit, similar to how accessories change the look of something. My love for them grew and I found myself spending more money on a good pair of them and finding an interest in styling them different ways. They are also the one item that I love to transition throughout the year, for example boots in the winter, pumps in the spring and then sandals in the summer. This summer, I have found the pair of shoes that will literally go with anything and everything all year round. 

The £12 Valentino Dupes from Asda

If there are a pair of shoes that I want to own one day its the Valentino Rock star Studded shoes, heeled or not they will be mine one day. Something about them are so elegant, luxurious and of course stylish. Unfortunately, the student inside of me cannot afford to spend a ridiculous amount of money on shoes because she has to pay bills and rent. Let's all cry together. A few months back my mum bought me these shoes, which are the closest dupes I could find to my dream pair. But I was wrong, Asda, yes the supermarket have something even closer, cheaper and beautiful. 

Summer Shoes Wishlist

Happy June Everyone! I love this month, not only do we have an appearance from the sun but its also my birthday month, so I am very excited! Its also the month where it is acceptable to wear any sort of footwear, I'm taking sandals. Yes, its time to dig them out ladies & gents. 

Today's post is a wishlist of some shoes that I am lusting over from Jones Bootwear, everything from sandals to boots.

Brantano Autumn/Winter Wishlist

'Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world' what a great saying. I truly believe that the shoes you wear can make you feel like woman in power and that you are going to have a great day ahead just by putting on a pair of comfy shoes. Sandals no longer have a home in my heart but fluffly slippers and winter boots do! Brantano have recently bought out their Autumn/Winter range and I am just slightly in love. Here are my top 6 picks from the range...

1. Tweedy Wellington Boots - £ 26.00

Shoes in the winter have two be two things 1. Practice and 2.Stylish, that's where Wellies come in. They are great for a day out in the cold weather and if they look as nice as these tweedy ones why wouldn't you want to wear them. 

2. Mountain Peak Outbound Walking Boots - £28.00

One thing that I love to do in the Autumn but don't do enough of is go for a stroll. The crisp autumn leaves underneath your feet and the fresh air that surrounds you. My university is all on campus which means that I really don't get out much, but maybe a pair of walking boots would encourage me to get out there and walk. Its good exercise and a chance for me to listen to all the music on my ipod that hasn't been listened to. I love that the detailing on these boots is purple my favourite colour. 

3. Mountain Peak Laverock Snow Boots - £34.00

England isn't really known for the typical snowy winter weather but when it does come we do enjoy it to the fullest! I never seem to know what shoes to wear when it does snow, do i wear boots and risk slipping over? Or do I wear wellies and get them wet through? Brantano have a range of snow boots which are to die for. They look so warm and cosy that I want to buy some now and wear them just so my feet are kept warm. The Laverock ones don't look too bulky either so they won't be weighing you down. 

4.  Caravelle Leather Antique Knee High Boots - Was £90.00 Now £49.00

Now we get into the wishlist that consists of your more everyday footwear. First up is a gorgeous tan coloured pair of knee high boots. I seem to only ever buy black boots that go over the knee but these tan coloured ones look stunning and the heel is a perfect size for me. They seem to be slightly ashy as well which is unusual but paired with blue jeans and a white shirt would look amazing. 

5. Emilio Luca X Red Quilted Ankle Boots - £38.00

6. Emilio Luca X Red Snake Ankle Boots - £38.00

Then we have my newest obsession of footwear - ankle boots. These are great if you love boots but don't like the whole knee high thing as they sit nicely on the bottom half of your leg and come in various different styles. My personal favourites are ones with a little heel on as the flat ones make me feet look huge. The black ones are your typical style with the quilted design at the back it is perfect for informal and formal days. But then there are the red ones which are just unbelievable. The snake like pattern gives them this edge and matches the majority of lipsticks and nail polishes I currently use - who doesn't love coordinating?

The whole Brantano A/W range is amazing and I could spend hours browsing the site to see all the different shoes if you fancy it then you can view the entire Autumn/Winter Range over on their site!

New Look Haul ♥

Let me tell you the truth. and nothing but the truth. I did not plan for this haul! I just somehow ended up spending money and well here we are...I love the stuff New Look bring out, and this year some things really caught my eye  - I had to splurge the cash. So I apologise for a double haul but, what can I say. I LOVE SHOPPING!

So here is what i bought. These gorgeous sandals and the beautiful earrings. Both of which I instantly fell in love with. I love wearing shoes like this in summer time, as they look great day and night! And of course, a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes - and earrings.

The shoes have this beautiful detailing that really caught my eye as well as the design of the shoe; they just look like something different and I adore having fancy shoes! I have also worn these twice and they are uber comfy, they aren't hard to settle into nor are they uncomfortable after a long day of walking. I like road testing shoes before giving a review.

Then these earrings. I have no words. They are beyond beautiful, very heavy though! Even though they are heavy, I love wearing them as they look stunning in the evening. I love wearing a statement item and earrings are something I have always worn.

I forgot to add these to the first image, but I also bought these cute set of earrings. I love the range of different styles in this set and am in love with the two pairs on the left! They are extremely gorgeous and I will be wearing these a great deal. The only thing I don't like is the back, they are very loose in my ear so I changed them.
