The Edit: The Perfect A/W Boots #2

Hello everyone! I've been a little quiet recently on the blog front - it's been majorly busy at work so it's taken a bit of a backseat recently but I'm back! 

So I'm kicking things off with a Fashion post all about the perfect Winter boots. Autumn Winter for me means coats and boots and this year is no different. I have searched high and low for the perfect winter boots and here is what I have found.

TOPSHOP ANNEX PINSTUD CHELSEA BOOTS £65

Make a bold statement this Autumn Winter with these little ankle boots, these boots will add a little sparkle into what might be a plain and boring outfit - would look fab with some leather trousers.

Oasis CAMMIE Chelsea Boot £68.00

Can't beat a new pair of Chelsea boots right? Absolutely love the deep hue of these boots - definitely an A/W winner for me. 

Zara Flat Leather Bootie with zip £69.99

Gorgeous little boots - these babies will see you through your casual days and shopping trips. In love!

River Island block heel ankle boots £40.00

Channel your inner 60's chick with these cute ankle boots - easily dressed up and down! Also such a fab price point too. 

River Island Black Stretch Riding Boots £60

No post about winter boots can be complete without some knee boots. These will see you through the cold winter weather whilst looking stylish too - and again an attractive price from River Island - Kudos RI!

What do you think? Where have you been buying your Winter boots from this year? I'm also going to be doing a coat edition of this post so keep an eye out for that one!

Finally Summer looks like it's coming! Hurray! If your anything like me, it's sent me into a mini panic thinking I need to buy a whole new summer wardrobe, although that's not probably the case as lets face it a white t-shirt from last summer is a white t-shirt! But there's nothing wrong with picking up some Summer 'essentials' to add to your look :) Any way these are a few of my fave picks as of recent. 

You might know that I am pregnant which means that I can look at all the gorgeous Summer stuff but I am reluctant buying anything as I have no idea how long I will fit in it lol... However it doesn't stop me looking! 

Warehouse

1. White dress £45 - This is such a cute little dress I think it would be perfect for a Summer BBQ, or family gathering.

2.Maxi skirt £45 - Summer isn't Summer without a new maxi skirt! :)

3.White Wash Jeans £42 - I love these Jeans would look fab with a simple tee and a statement Blazer.

4. Yoke Maxi Dress £58 - this would look lovely in the Summer at a garden party or maybe a wedding.

5. Fringe and embroidered dress £40 - This is the perfect cover up for the beach and would look great when the sun goes down.

Topshop

1. Forest Blur Print Tube Skirt £28 - This is such a good price, and would look great dressed up or down - the colours would look really good on holiday too.

2. Florescent Crop Cami Top £6 - Such a bargain  Would look great with shorts, jeans or even a high wasted skirt! Plus this is cute and little so would fold nicely in a suitcase if taking away on your jollies!

3. Strappy Step Hem Dress £42 - how gorgeous is this dress!? So simplistic and also in the colour of the Summer! I love this dress and think it would look so good on!

4. Diamonte Neck Playsuit £55 - I love a playsuit, I think they are so easy to wear and much more flattering for shorter gals than jumpsuits! This one would  look great dressed up in some killer heels, clutch and a cocktail in your hand...

5. Turquoise Textured Pencil Skirt £22 - Love the colour of this skirt and the split just adds to the look too! Wear with heels to make the most of your pins!

So just thought I'd leave it at that for now :) I'm getting too jealous that I wont be able to wear these lol! There will be more post like this to come soon too... What do you think?

New In: The Weekly Edit #1

I don't know about anyone else but I love seeing what's new in stores and new trends emerging and  regularly check out what's on offer... So with this in mind I thought 'hey if I like this, surely others must too?' So that where I thought out doing a weekly edit of all things new right now...

So every week you will be able to see where to go for the best of the new stuff :)

Topshop

Luckier Hi Vamp Wedge Heels £80 - Tan leather perfect for the summer to strut your stuff.

Mini Spot Pelmet Skirt By Boutique £60 - A little bit of monochrome is right on trend.

Leather Skirt by Boutique £85 - Leather is still hitting the shops at the moment - Think of this one as an investment as it sure will see you through to A/W 13.

Mini Twistlock Holdall £28 - A little splash of colour this season and a great price.

Embroidered Fringe Crop Top £32 - Show off that tan in the colour of the Season - White! Think this would be such as nice holiday buy too, you know for the beach, BEACH! (as nicki minaj would say!)

Warehouse

Summer Mac £75 - I don't know about you but I have always wanted a Burberry Trench and one day I shall own one as I believe this is a staple item in everyone's wardrobe  However for the time being this Mac is a beauty and I just love the collar!

Diamond Print Trousers £45 - These look great on as I've tried them! Very flattering fit and I think would look great in the office, I don't actually work in an office at the moment but you know, they're still nice lol.

Colour Block Chiffon Overlay T-Shirt £40 - This blouse is bang on trend what with all the monochrome and colour blocking going on - team with trousers or even tuck into a skater skirt? Me likey!

Miss Selfridge

Cream Caviar Bead Dress £37 - I just really loved the detailing on this dress and everyone loves a bodycon I thought and a bargain price 

Cape Texture Maxi Tier Dress £45 - Summer calls for BBQ's and maxi's and this is a really pretty one and would really show off a nice tan :)

High Waist Embroidered Shorts £32 - There's no getting away from it, summers on its way and that means getting them pins out so slap on the tan and work it! 

River Island

Black and white chunky stripe crop top £20 - Hello monochrome again! Cute little top that would look lovely with skirts, shorts or trousers.

White Collarless Unfastened Smart Blazer £45 - Great price for this blazer would look nice teamed with jeans for a casual look. Or even black wax coated jeans too.

Orange Structured Leather Tote Bag £70 - Love the structure of this bag, nice and big to fit in all the essentials and more and such a lush colour too.

Orange Chelsea Girl Paisley Print Shirt Dress £25 - It must be getting closer to spring summer if paisley is hitting the high street! But I really like the colours of this dress and think it would go lovely with the bag and some tan sandals for a even stroll on holiday... Lol.. I always make up scenarios for my clothes to justify my spending, does anyone else do that?

Light Acid Wash Molly Jeggings £35 - Love the colour of these and the finish is lovely - I like the soft jeans at the moment but I find they eventually don't wash great but hey ho cant have it all.

 Now, I'm sorry to do this to you but since the hight street is inspired by top designers, I think an edit wouldnt be complete without showing the high end too :) and also because I enjoy a bit of Fashion Porn as much as the next girl....

Net - A - Porter

Mulberry Valentines Textured Leather Coin Purse £125 - Who can put a price on Mulberry? Right!? Ermm Anyway you have to admit this is a cute lickle purse :) Love!

Zoe Karssen Live Fast Sweatshirt £95 - Say what you really mean with this slogan sweatshirt.

Vionnet Stretch Silk Wide-Leg Pants £740 - These are absolutely beautiful, the wide leg flowing trousers are all over this season taking over the pyjama trousers thank goodness as I never liked that trend but this is one I like. I also love the Calvin Klein Collection wide leg pants too! However I have stumpy legs and feel that they would totally swamp me even after having them altered for my length. If your after something like these on the high street at a more affordable price then I'd advise looking at Reiss, their 'Harperie' trousers come in at £120 and are totally on trend :)

Net - A - Porter

Victoria, Victoria Beckham Silk and Crepe Dress £525 - I think Victoria B has done so well for herself in the Fashion world, it's not an easy place to be recognised as a designer and especially a 'footballers wife' but she has proved her critics wrong and the girls done good! I love this dress and the detailing is fab.

Michael Michael Kors Silk-Georgette Dress £255 - The perfect summer wedding dress! Think this would look fab if going to a formal dress party or occasion, although I think I would change the belt to something else depending on the accessories and not a bad price either.

Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160 Crystal-Embellished Leather Pumps £3795 - Ahh yes no Fashion porn Edit would be complete without a bit of shoe porn and these babies really do fill the gap! With a 6.5 inch heel and 2.5 inch platform these beauts give some height! Unfortunately they are out of my shoe budget and to be honest even if I had the money to spend on these I probably wouldn't as I'd be too annoyed when one of those crystals falls off! Ha...
So there you have it my first weekly edit! Hope you enjoyed and keep an eye out for #2!

What new pieces have you noticed recently? I'd love to hear about them... If your on twitter then feel free to follow me on there I'm @siobhansparkles

I look forward to hearing from you :)
