Boots and sandals

More than three weeks have passed and I'm still not my old-full-of-life self yet, thanks to the weather.

Today, I managed to crawl out of bed to sit infront of my laptop long enough to do my first post for August.

And again, like the past few posts I did, this will also be filled with just great images. This time around, I am featuring my favourite accessories - shoes.

Topshop's Autumn/Winter 2009 Collection has a selection of beautiful boots and sandals designed to complement its range of collection inspired by the 70s and 80sothic and Victorian looks.

This season's shoes are accentuated with buckles, lattice panels and conical heels. They are made in sturdy tan leather, soft suede and mock croc.

The metallic look is all the rage now. So is the wraparound strap. Topshop also boasts a zebra print ankle boot and a grey flat ankle fur-lined boot to
add to the varied choices.

2010 Hottest Items: Sequined Socks

I’m sure you’ll remember that a while back I was dreaming about owning a pair of black sequined leggings. Not anymore! I was so keen on those black sparkling beauties, I wanted to actually own a pair. In current reality.

That went well. From the second I set my mind to it to the second I tried on a pairof black sequined leggings on me own two legs! I was happily touching my dream! You’d think my dreamwas happily brought to reality-light ? No-oh! You know those gazillions sequins? My skin was getting to know them! And it wasn’t too pleased about it ! I had to take the gorgeous pair of blacksequined leggings off as fast as I could (that moment, I wish I had some super powers, to make it go even faster!). Just so you know, I think Freud was right with all your frustrations reaching out to you in your sleep! That dream about owning a pair of black sequined leggings? I had it because it’ll never happen!

Now let me daydream about a pair of black sequined socks! Straight from Miu Miu (both socks and shoes), ready to convince me to a quick DIY session! What say you?
