Apres-Ski Glam

I've been looking for a pair of ankle wedges ever since I got back from Costa Rica. My go-to work-look out and about in Costa Rica was a pair of cropped trousers with a simple T-shirt or off-the-shoulder wide-striped jumper. It went brilliantly with sandals or stylish platformed heels but now I'm back to reality (and the British winter!), I need something else to go with my cropped trousers. Whilst style is important, comfort is also imperative because I am not one to let a pair of shoes sit in my wardrobe looking pretty and gathering dust (ah-hmm, Mother!). I actually wear my shoes.  Gosh, I'm a demanding gal!

 

However, browsing online today I found this fabulous pair of boots by London Rebel on Sarenza. Are they the answer to all of my freezing-tootsie needs? Well, they just may be! And they're perfect for wearing with rolled-up jeans too, which is great because I'm fed up of trying to cram my straight leg Levis into knee-high boots. All of that bulky denim sitting at the top of the boot is NOT a good look.

Faux-fur is NOT faux-fun!
A couple of weeks ago I popped on my faux-fur gilet over my black skinnies to go for a drink with my boyfriend who took one look at my outfit and proclaimed that I looked like an well-off, apres-ski wife in the chalet who said, "Dahhhling, I'd like a glass of Chardonnay." The problem was that I just had to put on my old, brown knee-highs and it just took away the glamour. I needed heels. I needed sheepskin wedges. That's why these shoes needs to be a part of my life. They make me want to curl up in front of the fire, click my expensively-manicured fingers and demand that chardonnay.
