4 Classic Winter Boot Styles Every Woman Should Own

I feel like it’s been ages since I spoke about shoes! I mean really, really spoke about shoes! A whole post dedicated to my favourite accessory on earth! I’ll admit my shoe-wearing days have become very casual of late, but that doesn’t mean I don’t still love a good pair! With winter fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about what goes on your feet. So I’ve put together my list of 4 styles of winter boots every woman should own to help you make smart decisions when investing in a new pair this year.

Rounding up 6 of the Best Winter Booties

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect pair of tan, leather winter booties for some time, and I’m happy to say that that the hunt is finally over! I spotted some great winter boots, or rather booties at Edgars, Woolies, ZARA as well as Tread + Miller, before finally deciding on T-H-E a perfect pair from Dune London. If you’re on the lookout for some fab winter booties this season, I’ve rounded up all the booties that caught my eye and why.

Lace Up Heels

Lace Up Heels

What could be better than a new pair of heels?… I’ll tell you what; Grabbing the last, lustworthy pair, and getting them on sale! I’ve been coveting a pair of sexy lace up heels since this post. Any shoes with laceup details are pretty much like putty in my hands! No wonder you’ll find tons of them all over my Pinterest board. I bought these lace up wedge heels from Zara a while ago, and every time I wear them, I’m almost always guaranteed to get compliments. Some girls will stop and ask me where I got them, others just stare! I still wanted a pair of lace-up heels though. Something with a sexy stiletto. I had seen these gorgeous snake skin leather laceups on Zara’s website and every time I happened to be at Sandton City (which was quite a lot), I kept going in to look for them. I never ever found them, so I just kept waiting… hoping… praying! Until I accepted my fate that I could never add these beauts to my shoe shelf. And then bam! I find it! One last pair and on sale! I’m sure someone must’ve returned them. But, oh well, their loss, my gain! My life is now complete! Well, I…

Hugh Hefner is famous for a few things, obviously one of them being that he’s the world’s oldest playboy.

Slippers, with studs and cute details are a great way to jazz up any outfit, and you’ll see these popping up all over the place. We’ve picked four of our favourite studded slippers that you can get your hands on right now… Animal print slippers with gold studs from Zoom Footwear Suede look slippers with star cut-outs from Mr Price Mint slippers with gold studs from Mr Price Studlyy!

Seriously Wicked Wedges

Seriously Wicked Wedges

I’d be lying (and you know I would) if I said I wasn’t completely, insanely, truly, madly, deeply in love with shoes! The higher the heel… bring it! Now as much as I love sexy heels, I’m equally obsessed with wedges, possibly more obsessed with wedges. Wow wedges that is… Here are three Seriously Wicked Wedges I’d love to have in my closet right now… The Simple Classic  Trust Steve Madden to bring out a quality, stylish and makes-my-legs-look-miles-longer pair of wedges that are in our financial grasp! I actually saw these babies, called Pammy at Edgars (on sale noggal), but they were out of the black in my size and only had them in pink. Maybe, maybe, maybe I’ll go back for them… The Dream Machine I could soooo picture myself eating nothing but beans on toast to save up for a pair of these. Oh bugger saving up, I’d totally max out my credit card without second guessing – if I could find this pair of Giuseppe Zanotti wedges, that is. Who knows, maybe while I’m in Europe my prayers will be answered and I’ll find a pair? Also that my credit card will be kind enough to let me splurge on them. Dear bank manager, I hope you are reading…

Spiked

We’re loving spiked heels, booties and loafers right now and it seems everyone from Edleman to Madden are creating fabulous shoes with spiked embellished details. Jeffrey Campbell – Lita Spike booties, available here Steve Madden – Studlyy loafers, available here Sam Edleman – Lorissa heels, available here   We love how Princes Pink from princesspinkglitter.blogspot.com styled up her Lita Spike booties. Her inspiration for this look was Taylor Momsen and I think she’s nailed it! Love her over-the-knee tights with lil’ denim shorts and the accents of studs on her arm and waist. Start getting used to this trend! Loafers are no longer reserved for Hugh Hefner or European men. All the hottest celebs and fashion bloggers are rocking this look. We love how Vietnamese blogger, Marnien Pthao wears her Steve Madden Studlyy loafers with a cute skater skirt and edgy tee. Check out the outfit post on her blog marnienpthao.blogspot.com. Pretty with a punch of rocker! We love how Tamara from theglamandglitter.com styles her Sam Edleman Lorissa heels. Check out her blog for the full outfit post [poll id=”16″]
