Winter Boot Trend : Metal Heel



I am a huge fan of boots and I don't just save them for the winter, I prefer to wear them all year round and with so much choice and a variety or versatile styles its hard not to! One trend I have been loving in the footwear category is the metal plaque heels. I feel like this style gives boots and shoes a little bit of an edge and makes boots look a bit more tough for the cold winter months ahead! 
Here are my personal favourites and my own collection of the metal heel style so far!....




This first pair I found on ebay, and I have noticed they are becoming quite popular on sites such as Boohoo.com. Every time I wear these I get a lot of compliments so were definitely worth the wait! and the price?... £35!


I think I'm a little obsessed with patent mock croc for AW/13...





These were a purchase / present from America on my graduation gift trip to Texas, I then found out yesterday that the designer Vince Camuto has a range here in the UK! Luckily these ones haven't come out yet over here so they still feel quite special.


Im always looking for details and I love how the Vince Camuto logo is embossed on the metal details of the boots.


These ones were a a bit more pricey due to the real leather and gold details 
£180

Vince Camuto's boots can now be found in House of Fraser and there is a similar design with silver details too, they can be found by clicking here 
Ebay.co.uk

On Ebay there are a few similar styles to the first ones I have at the top of this post and also these beauties too. Some other places to get this look are ALDO, House of Fraser and Boohoo.com.
Happy Shoe Shopping!

Simply Modern : Smythson of Bond Street

A few months ago I served a woman who had the most well made and classic looking handbag I have ever seen. A Smythson Antonia Top handle bag in black. Ever since that first bag encounter I instantly went online to find out more about the brand and their collection of bags.
The extremely fine craftsmanship and soft leathers come with a rather large bank breaking price tag but the detail and weight explains it all.

Smythson was founded in 1887 and is a British manufacturer of fine leather goods.

The Grosvenor

Without having a fussy logo plastered all over the handbags ( which I personally find unattractive) these bags make a statement themselves with the clean cut leather thats precisely stitched together.

The Chameleon 

The range of bold colours make the bags even more enticing.

As a lover of bright and bold bags I had to display their colourful collection.
