ASOS : ABSOLUTE CHELSEA BOOTS.

I got a pair of boots, velvet boots from asos...erm I don't wear heels its not really my preference usually but I don't mind trying new things. These are my first pair of heels, ever I feel weird, I guess I'm saying hello to my womanhood (dry laugh). I love the colour of the velvet, it's a bit bright but I can live with it, the heel is a bit high it took me a while to actually try and walk in them but I'm pretty swell now I can walk like a supermodel in them (hahaha). They were on sale coming to a tidy price of £31 which is a good price for boots of this material and type, Chelsea boots are big trend, and boots with chunky heels are a top-notch trend for Autumn/Winter wardrobe.

Okay, pros and cons, they shoes are lovely, the colour the material, they are well made and they are comfortable, I wore them for 9hrs (on a shoot) and my feet did not have a single blister (miracle) I know. Cons of the shoes, I'm a size 8 the asos size came up a little bit small but after one wear they stretched out and fit me perfectly now, they have them in patent black, I personally think they are nasty but if that is the way your boat floats then get a pair! That is me in the above photograph, I styled it with black ankle cropped jeans and an blue stripy "boyfriend" sized shirt, it belongs to my Dad, thanks Daddy.

& Other Stories is a shop which is a part of the H&M branch, it is absolutely stunning....in my opinion. I visited the store today, again...and I bought enough items to complete a mini haul, there are several things I adore about the store from the presentation of items to the general ambiance. My mother also deeply approves, she said "Debs there are no other stores like this one! I must comment this is store is very much a female - orientated store.

 I bought nail polish, this was a personal test I usually buy subdued and dark colours as you can see from the picture this colour is quite the opposite and I rather like it, it was a good price and spreads across the nail really well. I also bought a double leather wallet it is a lovely maroon colour with a gold lion embossed plaque, I think it was a good investment which I can't wait to style!! Another thing I bought was a belt and some accessories, this belt is very well detailed, and I am sucker for details it keeps me on my toes, in terms of the accessories a ring and two bracelets. Pay a visit to this store, treat yourself and feel the awe of the store! 

When entering the store one is made to feel like they have been transported to a European utopia of striking clothes, accessories and shoes, and model-looking cashiers! I am always impressed when I shop at this store, I have a little thing about colour palettes, from clothing to interior decorating and the colour palette of this store remarkable, going around the store is like going round on a rainbow wheel. I love the clothing, the range of materials provided is absolutely amazing, I'm a sucker for accessories especially when they are so quirky which is what & Other Stories has provided me with! SHOES! Now, what I've learnt is that despite your sex we all love shoes, if you have good taste you love shoes, and I love shooes... the shoe selection which is a whole floor left me in bewilderment, I mean less is certainly more it's a very strong motif throughout this store.
