Isabel Marant

When I hear the name Isabel Marant I immediately think of those boots with the angular triangular heel and studded ankle cuff. They were found at the top of every magazine’s list of 'what boots to wear now' in 2009 resulting in a mammoth waiting list.

In an interview in ELLE (UK) magazine, Marant explains all her collections are designed around her, in essence, she designs clothes that she wants to wear, clothes that every woman wants to wear, and most importantly, comfortable clothes. Interestingly, her work isn’t inspired by films or art work like a lot of other designers Instead, she uses the styles of individuals (Alexa Chung’s personal style is a key muse for her Spring/Summer 2011 collection).
These are my favourite looks from Isabel Marant's Autumn Winter 2010/11 collection.

DIY Festival Geek Sunglasses

A couple of months ago, whilst perusing through ELLE I came across an unusual pair of glasses covered in lace with little fancy decorations around the rims. Based on the old school Ray Ban Geek style they looked kind of sarcastic and fun. It reminded me of how women in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ times would shield their eyes from the summer sun with lace fascinators and mask or even those cute umbrellas which today can only be pulled off by the most extrovert, stylish goddesses around. This pair brings the classy lace back into the realms of eye-protection whilst beign exceptionally stylish and cute.

They are designed by Ermanno Scervino and the price is ‘on request’, translation; ‘you can’t afford it’.

I was inspired to try this design out and with the patience of a saint and spending days with superglue on my fingertips I can gladly say that I am quite happy with these little beauties.

I have four pairs available to buy which I am selling on my eBay account

Clog boots

This summer has been all about the Clog. Top designs seen at Miu Miu and Chanel inspired lower-end brands such as the saviour of shoe design, Jeffery Campbell to the high street at Topshop and Zara.

This year’s colder months are not without the wooden sole that has invited everyone to change their minds about the Clog and now we will be drooling over designs with fur trims and ankle boot styles.

So as I live in England the weather the rain has not ceased for some time and summer clothes are beginning to pile up at the bottom of the wardrobe and hangers are being replaced by warmer items. Yes it is the beginning of August and I am already planning my Autumn Winter Capsule wardrobe.

After reading 5 inch and up’s post about a sneaky preview of Next’s autumn winter season footwear I have been on tender hooks waiting to see some of the designs in real life or at least online with an affordable price beside them, inviting me to buy them. Well last week I caught a glimpse of shearling and faux fur in their designs but not enough for me to screech and run to the till clutching a shoe, so I went to their online sight and saw the most amazing pair of winter boots for a price that will not make me close my eyes when I click ‘’buy now’’.

So here they are... Beautiful and appear to be very comfortable. 

The gripped sole makes the thought of walking through snow less frightening and the lack of suede gets rid of any panic of getting caught in a shower.
