My Favourite Autumn/Winter 2014 trends from Dune (Closed)

Scroll down to the end for a fabulous Giveaway! I’m a summer baby through and through but lets face it, dressing up is so much chic-er in winter! And I’m super amped for the chill, since there are so many fabulous things coming our way this winter. Like these gorgeous shoes, handbags and accessories from Dune London! I mean, whoaaah! For me, an absolute investment would be in the classic styles! You’ll never go wrong with a pair of stylish black heels (and those Daughter Booties are TO DIE FOR). Another winter essential is leopard print and these pieces tick all the boxes. Also invest in classic nudes and tan heels, you’ll wear them season after season! Now let’s take a look at a few more styles from Dune’s Winter 2014 trends … BOY MEETS GIRL. Think block heels and boots for an androgynous feel. Muted, autumn colours of chocolate browns, blacks and reds give a gothic edge to this punk-influenced collection. GIRLY CLASH. Think pointed flats, tri-tone brogues and kitten heels for that girly touch. Contrast colour panels also add boldness to your look.

A Peek Inside DUNE Shoes’ Sandton Store

A Peek Inside DUNE Shoes’ Sandton Store

Last week I was in Joburg for the Edgars Summer Launch, and while I was there, I got to take a peek inside the brand new Dune store in Sandton City! Well ladies, let me just tell you, the shoes are off the wall! Or rather on the ceiling! No kidding, they literally have actual shoes screwed onto the ceiling – how rad is that? And, I’m told that the shoes on the ceiling are from the current collection, and that the display is changed with each new collection. Genius idea! Now, if only they had a comfy couch in store, I could very happily lie there all day staring at the shoes. Scoopies Heaven! Awesome shopfront displays aside, let’s talk about the shoes… I saw many gorgeous styles, and I really wanted to take some of them home with me, but my credit card is still in recovery from my holiday, so I really had to behave! Not to say that I couldn’t admire the menu though…
