snake boots | topshop 

so, todays post is a mini one as I just wanted to share my latest purchase. before I dive into my annual winter coat hunt (yes I'm determined to find 'the one' this year) I wanted to get myself some boots. 

my main requirements this season is block heels and texture- either snake effect or 70's suede. I'm super pleased block heels are back, as let's face it I'm pretty lazy so it takes a comfy heel to drag me away from trainers. I did a little dance when I found these topshop boots as they're a great dupe of the KG ones and a fraction of the price.. they're nearly out of stock online but definitely worth keeping an eye out for. the green version is still available and I've linked all my favourite 70's inspired high street footwear below if any of you are a-hunting for some too..

happy shopping!

tee: c/o lush t shirts

mesh detail skirt: c/o missguided

bag: vintage

perspex block heels: c/o missguided

ah man, who can resist a mean girls tee.. I loved this top as soon as I clapped eyes on it.. thank you lush t shirts for bringing this slice of cinematic perfection into my life! It's been so long since I watched it.. must hunt down my dvd.. I think it's hiding in that secret place where my odd gloves and socks reside.

I decided to live dangerously with this skirt from missguided, I'm the clumsiest person I know but this white and mesh combo is everything I love wrapped up in a perfect fitting dream.

I spent saturday night congratulating myself on how I'd achieved an entire night out without spilling anything on myself.. (I had failed to notice that I'd clearly parked my rear on something wet at some point in the evening but the illusion of feeling ladylike was darn good while it lasted) I'm pleased to report a quick soak had her good as new so I'll be wearing this again soon.

I really liked the perspex and blue straps details on these shoes (plus block heels are so much nicer to walk in if you're as challenged in the stiletto department as me.) missguided has become one of my favourite places to stalk for new shoes and these ones have just landed in black and white ..swoons.

It's mine and the boys third anniversary tomorrow so I'm off to tackle the hot mess that is my closet for something appropriate to wear for our day out (preferably with an elasticated waist.. we're going for an american diner pancake feast for breakfast ..so excited I think my head might explode!)
