Who turned off Summer?

Following on from yesterday, if there was ever an excuse to treat yourself to new boots in the sale, it's the fact that you can wear them immediately. 

And oh ankle boots, how I love thee.  I wear these all year round.  The one thing you can guarantee I will get a lot of wear out is a pair of ankle boots and a pair of white trainers.  Hence it's ridiculously easy to always justify a pair of these.  In all colour, in a walkable heel, in all styles.  Yes I love a classic boot but I also have a soft spot for those with a bit of personality.  Well that's what I call them.  The husband refers to them as "are they a joke" boots and the children affectionally call them the "you're not actually going to wear them out" boots.  All the charming, my family... yours?

Sod 'em.  I love them, they bring a smile to my face and they are super practical.  I wear them with jeans of all varieties - oh I could list my whole wardrobe but I essentially wear them with everything. 

And all year round too.  Summer that decides to have a hiatus for a week or too (it did sort of over exert itself last week and is clearly recharging its batteries somewhere, whilst its cousin Autumn pitches up as a supply season) = the perfect excuse to invest in a new pair in the sales. 

I've popped my sales boot cherry as I mentioned yesterday with the purchase of my Marant bargains (I did get 77% off!!) in the sale at Harvey Nichols so if you can get to a store you may grab a slightly lower price. 

But for the ease of shopping from your armchair with a glass of wine, I have found some gems that it's worth looking at. 

Speaking of black boots from my favourite French designer...

Faded black Suede Deyissa boots from Isabel Marant was £340 now £204

Last year I absolutely loved my metallic heel boots and these would be a great purchase for both now and into the Autumn.

And then the more unusual.  Navy.  I have the Newburys in Navy and they are so incredibly useful. 

Snake effect suede ankle boots from Maje were £345 now £172.50


Navy again at Boden (these are rare by the way - I have the Rag & Bone Newburys above in navy and have had them for about four years and they still get dragged out every season). 

Boho Boot from Boden were £120 now £72



And then the statement boots.  Boots that need no introduction and are perfect for those days when your outfit consists of your pared back, classic pieces and your footwear does all the talking.

Breaking you in gently... with black embroidered boots.  Too. Cute.

And in the grey.
