a thing of bootie is a joy forever

My eye is constantly drawn to black booties. They're so not my normal style but the weather is still sometimes warm enough that I could see myself wearing peep toe booties with dresses and bare legs... sigh. It's so a look I'd love to wear.

These Zanottis must cost a mint - I don't even dare ask. They're just so sculptural, and I love the polka dot brass rings..




And these shapes, also at Zanotti.. something for everyone. So what did I do?



Popped over to Office, in Spitalfields, and tried a similar pair there. I'm proud to say I still haven't bought a thing, and am happily trotting around in last year's plain black riding boots.

What boot silhouette are you wearing now? Booties with heels? Over the knee? Biker boots? Cuban heels? Stiletto heels? None of the above? (Or, if you live in warmer climates, or south of the equator, what shape are you wearing in sandals?)

I love how this season, there's something for everyone. Never in my memory has there been so much choice in footwear. Don't you just love it?

harvey nicks (italian style)

Rachele, from Italy of course, outside Harvey Nicks. It had been such good weather but suddenly turned cold (March hadn't yet gone out like a lamb) - so very brave to be the first on the street in knee socks, bare legs, and goose bumps. Loved her bomber jacket - it was some great suede-like fabric.

Hands on buzzers: why does everyone in London with great style these days seem to come from either Italy, or the Far East?
