Current Favourite: New Look Ankle Boots

It's become clear that 2015 for me is the year of the impulse buying.  A couple of weeks back I popped into my local New Look 'just for a look'. But obviously we all know that just for a look never means just for a look so about 30 minutes later I was leaving with bags full of clothes, shoes and underwear along with a slightly battered bank balance.

But... I am so glad I went in because I have fallen in love with a pair of boots.



(My camera quality doesn't do them any justice, check them out in store or online at the link above)

These Chelsea style boots are in a gorgeous tan colour with a chunky 3.5" heel. I will admit, it took 2/3 wears for my feet to get used to them and they hurt sooo much at first but I persevered and now they are really comfy and super easy to walk in. For the price I am totally impressed with the quality but that's not surprising as I'm always impressed with New Look's shoes - it's my go to shop whenever I'm on a shoe hunt. The best thing about these boots? They go with everything. I have been wearing them with denim jeans, black jeans, tailored trousers, patterned dresses and skirts paired with tights, you name it! I would highly recommend that if you don't have a pair heeled ankle boots in your shoe collection then check these out.

These are also available in black which is very, very tempting... I may have another new pair of ankle boots to add to my shoe cupboard in the near future!


Fashion on YouTube

I love watching a good lookbook and fashion haul on Youtube. If you're not familiar with the whole 'youtuber' thing then a lookbook is basically when someone puts a mixture of different looks together and they normally have a theme; for example, seasonal lookbooks or casual/workout/going out lookbooks. I love watching them as it's a great way of getting some outfit inspiration! And a haul is where they will show you the fashion bits they've been buying recently and do a mini review on it - describing the quality, fit, what they would pair it with etc... 

So today I'm going to share with you some of the youtubers whose hauls and lookbook's I love.






These are just some of the youtubers whose style I am really enjoying at the moment but there are many, many more. I love to see other peoples take on fashion and it's always great to see clothes on real people. And for the curvier ladies out there Louise @ sprinkleofglitter does great lookbooks and she always, always look amazing!!
