The Best Boots

Now it's time for my final shopping report, and this time it's all about boots. I have searched here, there and everywhere and I have to say there are so many boots to choose from out there at the moment. With so much to choose from it made it more difficult to narrow down to my picks for the best ones available, but I have done so. The one downside to doing these shopping reports is that you realise how many gorgeous boots there are out there just waiting to be bought and take up residence in my closet but, I would have to have Beyoncé's bank balance for all of these to be mine- sad face. So, getting down to business here is my pick of the best boots available this Autumn/Winter, there are 40 of them so get your wish-list ready. (Just in time for Christmas too..)

Happy Shopping!

Sweater Season

The temperatures outside are turning considerably cooler at the moment and with that the need to feel warm and cosy (but stylish at the same time) becomes greater. I like to call it sweater weather. Me myself, I love sweaters, I have quite the selection of chunky knits, fine knits, slouchy, fitted, cropped sweaters etc. so this time of year is my favourite time of year. A few weeks ago I posted Part 1 of a 3 part report on my pick of the best coats out there for this Autumn/Winter, this report- Part 2 is my pick of the best knitwear/sweaters out there for A/W and soon i'll be sharing Part 3 my pick of the best boots on offer for the season ahead.

The Best Coats For Winter 2013

As the temperatures outside become gradually cooler that can only mean one thing; coat weather is just around the corner. Now, I have confessed my love for the cooler seasons of Autumn and Winter more than once on here so personally I can't wait for coat season as layering is one of my favourite things to do when styling an outfit, it allows you to experiment with textures and colours and to just be more inventive with style. So over the last couple of days I have been browsing the land of online shopping and choosing my favourite coats online/in-stores at the moment. It is safe to say there is a massive selection out there and seems to be something to suit everyone's taste and even though at the end of my investigation I had far too many coats selected to share with you I did manage to whittle my choices down to 26 while trying to keep a varied selection of styles. So, for all you coats lovers out there like me or for all of you who would simply like an idea of what's on offer this season- here you go.

Happy coat shopping.
