This week we got a real taste of spring here in London and although I couldn’t take my spring outfits for a spin just yet (I was down with the flu, was such a bummer but all your amazing and positive messages on Instagram made me smile so much!) I am so excited to start planning out the cutest outfits that you all can rock this season. I am always taking inspiration from the fashion world around me, especially with all the beautiful street style coming out of Paris fashion week right now, but with all that said and done, there are three things that I always look forward to wearing every spring. Here are your spring outfit essentials and how to style them already:

1. Spring skirts
I was recently asked what my go-to outfit is when I’m in a rush and more often than not you’re going to find me in a skirt and blouse/sweater (Can we stop saying the word sweater now that it’s almost spring?) I am so excited to start pulling out all my favourite spring skirts and stocking up on new ones! This spring, I’ve noticed there are a lot of mini and midi shapes trending, especially slip skirts! I’ve linked to some of my favourites here:

2. Pastel colours
I am such a spring and summer baby. I love all the beautiful colours associated with the season, especially pastels. Pastel pink is one of my all-time favourite colours when it comes to basically everything and I’ve already started to pull out my favourite pastel pieces, like this top handle Dior handbag. Pastels are always a fashion trend for spring and summer, but this season we are seeing a lot of pistachio green. I covered some of my favourite pistachio green pieces here!

3. Ankle boots
It’s time to pack those thigh high boots away and say hello to ankle boots. (There is only one outfit exception I’m making for high boots and you will see that one very soon!) This season we see a fashion trend carrying over from last year; cowboy boots. I was so excited when I finally got my hands on these Isabel Marant cowboy boots and I even wrote an entire review about them here. If there’s a boot style you need this year it’s this one!

It’s official, autumn is here which means it’s finally ankle boot season. I love summer as much as the next girl but I also love the change of season and the idea of breaking out a fresh pair of ankle boots, whether they are snake print, cowboy boots or even velvet shoes, makes me so excited. Maybe it’s the concept of change or maybe it’s just having run out of what to do with my summer wardrobe, whatever it may be, my autumn boots are out. Now, I know how important it is to have a pair of black ankle boots in your wardrobe (a staple!) but it’s time to update your style for autumn winter 2018.

As with any season, there are certain ankle boots that you need to stay extra stylish this season. I’ve narrowed it down to three categories: animal prints, cowboy boots and velvet boots. I’ve rounded up a whole selection in each category, ready for you to shop directly. There is something for every price point, including pairs that are under £100, so I’m sure you will find what you’re looking for here!

THE ANIMAL PRINT BOOTS

Animal prints are a huge trend for autumn winter 2018 and that means leopard print, snake print and croc effect boots. I love this trend because if you buy the right pair, they will actually last you far beyond just one season. I’ve actually had my snake print boots for the past 4 years and every year I get compliment upon compliment for them! Below are some of my favourite picks for you, at every price point.

THE COWBOY BOOTS

Cowboy boots are here partner! I love them so much that my shoe of the month for September was dedicated to my Isabel Marant Cowboy boots. If you’re afraid of this trend, it’s all about buying a pair that isn’t too “country” and would still look fabulous with your favourite turtleneck dress or leather leggings. I would opt for shorter boots and preferably in neutral colours. You can really take it up a notch by getting cowboy boots in a snake print! Two trends in one go and you would be the coolest girl around! Here are my picks below:

THE VELVET BOOTS

Velvet is one of those materials that is in style every autumn winter. It is genuinely timeless and you would never go wrong by investing in a velvet piece, whether it’s a velvet dress, velvet shoes or in this case, velvet boots. I bought my velvet boots about 2 years ago and I wear them on repeat come autumn. Have some fun with colours, velvet always looks beautiful in jewel tones and it’s a great way to add colour and interest to any basic autumn outfit! You could also pair your velvet boots with your holiday party outfit when the time comes! Trust me, it looks incredible! Here are my picks below:

A Peek Inside My Shoe Closet: Isabel Marant Cowboy Bootst

COWBOY BOOTS ARE HERE.

If there’s a shoe that’s trending for autumn winter and with the street style crowd its cowboy boots. As the western trend takes over for the season, I’ve found myself embracing cowboy boots like never before. I actually spent a majority of my summer hunting for the perfect pair, from the high street to my favourite designer stores and after searching high and low, trying on all the pairs, comparing fits and so on, I settled on these beauties. My Isabel Marant cowboy boots with the embellished heel are probably my favourite boots in my closet right now.

So, for this month’s sneak peek in my shoe closet, it seemed only fitting to share with you guys why you need these cowboy boots in your life and to share the alternatives I tried on that would have made the cut if I could buy more than one pair!

Quality

The whole point of investing in luxury accessories is the quality. Especially when you’re looking to buy a pair of leather shoes, you want shoes that are durable and that will age well. So far, for wearing these boots every day, I’m really happy with how durable they are. They have minimal scuffing and are still shiny and gorgeous. The leather is ageing well and I like how it bends with my feet.

Design

One of the reasons I went for this pair was the design. I love the embellished heel on these boots and the faint stitching detail on them. They have a very cowboy aesthetic while still being very high fashion. The heels are a total show stopper for me. They are also not super high which means you can wear them with anything!

<br />

Comfort

I have wide feet so I was a bit nervous about getting a pair of cowboy boots initially because I felt they would hurt my feet. These were so comfortable and the leather stretches with time giving me enough room to be able to wear these all day, day in and day out. The heel is low which also means they are super comfortable. Literally living in them.

Care

Leather shoes like these are easy to care for but make sure to help your boots retain their shape by stuffing them. I either stuff them with the tissue they came with or I get soft tissue and make little balls and stuff them. I also keep them in their dust bag so that the leather and heels stay in good quality. You can invest in a black leather shoe shine and a leather cream to clean them. A good trick though is to use non-scented lotion to clean your leather shoes.
