Bootifully Chic

I still remember my first pair of knee-high boots. Inspired by an image of Carla Brunei in Vogue, I ventured out to Ravel. Instant sophistication. The nearest I’d owned was pull-on wellies. 35 years later, I rediscovered my passion.

The versatility of knee-high boots, from skirts and dresses to shorts, means they are now worn all year round, no longer just a Winter wonder. The above boots from Lunar Shoes have simply been the most flattering of styles. How delighted I was when I came across the article below.

The above images indicate my obsession with the Toni boot. As you know, I shoot almost daily, so my main concerns are comfort and durability. A stylish tan leather boot complements every outfit, worn with casual denim, an elegant leather gold skirt, or leopard print. It’s my daily must-have.

These fabulous pull-on suede kitten heels add an instant wow factor, elevating a neutral outfit to a different class. A pointed toe adds a neat finish to the look, and wearing cropped trousers allows the boots to take centre stage.

The changing leaves are the only clear sign that it's autumn. In recent years, the popularity of boho styling with maxi dresses in the summer and the rise of "Swiftys" have made cowboy boots with shorts a dominant wardrobe choice. Investing in a good classic style in a neutral colour will last for years.

I've never owned a pair of wedge ankle boots before. I wanted them to be practical and wearable. I walk around London with my dog, Cody, a lot, and a nifty zip at the back allows for easy removal. Most people buy black and flat, but I think it's great to have a different option for different days. What works for you?

As autumn approaches winter, I eagerly anticipate frosty mornings, gathering holly in Holland Park, and conquering Christmas shopping in Portobello Market. With many wardrobe options, the only challenge will be deciding which style to rock. Follow me on Instagram to witness how and where I'm flaunting them in London.

see you in November. Tina
