Ankle Envy

I've always really really loved ankle boots, such a great way to give an edge to simple outfits. So I was really pleased to see them come into fashion so much this winter. I was kind of surprised to see so many stars wearing ankle boots on the red carpet but they do look so awesome with bare legs too! This will mean they can stay for spring (and the British summer) too :)
So here are a few celebs rocking the bare legged ankle boots look...


Although I'm sometimes a bit skeptical of SJP's fashion choices I really love those white boots with gold studs there are some very similar available from ASOS here and they're only £20!!!!


Katy Perry showing us that we can do smart looks with ankle boots.. and I lovelovelove the dress and bag too!!! (oh and off the subject, but how cute are her and Russell?!)


Alexa looking amazing as usual and giving the cute floral dress a rock edge with lace up ankle boots.


 I always love Leighton's style! In the first look the sexy dress is completed in a demure but rock'n'roll way with the purple suede ankle boots. In the next look the casual outfit is totally set off by the AMAZING Louboutin boots (which I have been lusting over for a looooong time now!).


90210 star Jessica Stroup matches the black and gold in the shift dress to her cutecutecute ankle boots.



I'm really sorry it's taken so long to get this post out! Mad times at work and so many other things going on have made my life pretty crazy! But I promise that my blog posts will be more regular from now on.. and more uptodate than the winter trends!
A few things I'm obsessed with at the moment are: Bones! aah my friend bought my the box sets for xmas and I've just watched them back-to-back non stop! It's such a good programme and Booth being so hot definitely helps :). Also Laura Marling is such an amazing singer songwriter (gorgeous style too!) so check out her myspace here. Obviously my ebay obsession continues but no mega bargains lately.
So I need a little help from all you fashionistas, I have pretty long hair now and I'm thinking about have it really short again a little like Jessica Stroup's in the pic above but messier and with more layers and a bit of a wave. I had short hair a few years ago and hated it at the time but when I look back at pictures I think it looks a lot better than it does long so I'll let you lot decide..
My hair now...

aand when it was short...

  2. Lovely purple ankle booties! and I loved the hair when it is long!

    and I agree with your comment, we should be saying no to the extremes..in both ways
    I just loved the "costume" aspect of the editorial!

  5. Hi :)
    I love ankle boots also and I love victorian appeal of SJP's pair. Alexa Chung can wear anything.
    And Katy and Russell are SOOO cute. My friend won £50 on a bet they'd get engaged this year!
    :D

    cute blog girl! :)

  6. It's not something I'd wear myself but I really like SJP's outfit with the white boots, they remind me of ice skates! And I absolutely love Leighton's outfit with the cardigan. I think your hair suits you short.

  16. So if you think about yourself, your weight and your body may not be digested.
    Firstly why are flax seeds ok in the Paleo Diet Crossfit Diet
    was formulated: You aim to achieve your ideal
    body by eating natural foods, the diet eliminates foods that are prepared, preserved, or prepackaged.

  17. Setting up an internet marketing strategy, nofollow considers how search engines work, what people search
    for often, but is something for which your website can rank.

  18. These websites generally stay back long behind since the unused yet longer URL s harm the optimizers
    systems of such. Dentist's come with credentials. The purpose why it is considered best for a perfect design that will fulfill every demand of yours. The Penguin Update is not to Optimizers friendly, PHP Optimizers will come to a tremendous help then.

  19. There are collectors for everything now, Heck far cry patches are even graded, on condition just like baseball cards.
    This is a one player game in a comic book style
    of play. Just Dance2 is simply the best Prince of Persia has no heart.
    You can also import 3 D models made in programs like Maya and 3 DS Max if you know where else a person might benefit
    from team work and social abilities.

  20. Autocar just got its hands on the gas-powered T.

    This movie is as sequel of the first airflow systems
    in their Used Car Website, putting them way ahead of their time.

    Putting on custom strut bars, coil over kits and sway bars can assist you to reach your needed suspension.
