The NEXT edit: Shoe Special

During a casual online browse, you probably expect to see one or two pairs of to-die-for shoes, and if you’re lucky they’re in your price range too. Today I saw several amazing, on-trend shoes that were all on budget and they were all from NEXT. The high street giants have really upped their game this season in the footwear department. My absolute favourites were these luxe loafers, £60. For me, this is the most feminine and sophisticated way to pull off such a masculine shape. Personally, i’d be styling these with black ripped skinny jeans, a white shirt and a camel boyfriend coat.

Metallic shoes are massive this Autumn, especially those of the silver variety! There’s alot of them on the high street so they’re easily accessible if you’re after a catwalk copy. However, some shapes, shininess (if that’s even a word?) can make silver shoes look tacky. Especially if your Auntie Sharon has been wearing her silver stilettos since 1981. NEXT have got it right with this pair £55, so transitional from day to night, season to season.

These pointed mules, £55 are just sheer sophistication. Perfect for the office or with an LBD on a Saturday night. Add a little bit of luxury to your look with pony skin effect accessories such as these beauties. Mules are the shoe shape of the season, too.

Add a pop of pink to your outfit this season with these unique cut shoe boots, £38. You’ll wear these far more than you think, they will replace that trusty nude heel you wear with every black dress, every denim jean and every grey suit trouser. I love the cut out detail, and the fact that they’re whole on the inside so they’re not too dainty to wear in the daytime either. For £38, they’re a sure investment.

Last Night’s #stylechat in Pictures

Hosted by @Stylecaster, #stylechat is a twitter based chat which anyone and everyone can get involved! Last nights topics of conversation included  everything from white denim to neon pumps.

@NicoleMillerNYC posted this picture of neon pumps being worn with a co-ordinating outfit. It was fairly noted that neon pumps are the perfect transitional piece from summer into autumn.

Next up some words of wisdom… White Denim is here to stay. Team with a pastel pink overcoat and pumps for a Winter Ice look. Pastels will be massive too.

Jeans, J Brand £240

Todays 8th Wonder of the World…

So last year (SS/12) I bought these gorgeous wedges from NEXT, and I am already thinking about when i’ll get to wear them again this Summer. I knew at the time they would be a good purchase, with the black base colour and aztec raffia… ALWAYS a trend in the Summer…

So surely you can imagine how surprised I was, when browsing ‘ASOS New In’ this morning, to discover that Maison & Scotch have launched the most perfect matching accessory. The Raffia Clutch. Available at ASOS, £43. Thanks to Maison and Scotch for preparing me for a well co-ordinated Summer! Who knew?
