ASOS LUXE Velvet Bow Ballerina

So, crushed velvet is back in fashion. Who remembers it the first time around? What about the second, third and fourth time around? I particularly remember the 90’s version, gracing floppy hats and retro LBDs.

It’s now moved on to shoes, thanks to ASOS. Possibly an accident waiting to happen in rainy Britain, but I sort of like it in this blue shade.

What do you think of the crushed velvet trend? Yay or Nay?

Missguided Autumn Lace Up Wedges In Black

Wedges are often seen as the footwear of choice for the summer months, but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t drag them with you into the winter months. After all, they’re much comfier than their heeled alternatives.

These lace up wedges on the left are from online retailer Missguided, and comes in brown and black. The wedge itself is a nice mix of muted colours and tough wooden platform.

What would you wear them with?

Rocket Dog furry brown ankle boots

SHEARLING BOOTS: These booties are some of the cutest we’ve seen for A/W 2010, and they’re on at a decent price at high street stalwart Schuh. Based around a clog ‘template’, the booties come low on the ankle, making them ideal wear whether they’re part of a skirt or trouser combo, and how much will we be loving that fun fur come bonfire night?

Carvela ‘Sisley’ in grey felt

We’re loving the use of thick, wooly felt on these smart ankle boots by Carvela; a rugged fabric that looks great against the black crepe soles and will look equally amazing worn with dark-coloured clothes.
