I went on the hunt for some little boots suitable for rainy days and found these cuties in New Look. I tried them on but after a few minutes thought 'argh have I just picked up uggs?!' There's something slightly ugg-like about them but if you want furry boots then they all are! Alongside camel, all the shops are stocking arctic, 'alpine' stuff, which makes for really cute mittens and scarfs. In fact I bought these River Island tights in the summer because snow flake print is the best! I think patterned tights are a bit more wearable with ankle boots as they look more like leggings, and leggings with coats are a cute look. D&G always put extra girly, sexy stuff down the runway and how amazing is the knitted all-in-one! Not quite right to call it a jumpsuit or a leotard but I bet it's cosy.
It looks great in the advert! Also absolutely love the little jumpers with maxi dresses. There are sooo many maxis in the mid season sales, I would invest but as I said in previous posts, I don't have time to wear all my clothes as it is! I only have one maxi dress that's as floaty as these and it's not long until colder months so I'll have to wear it as much as possible.
I was going to take an outfit photo but I foolishly wore these to watch the fireworks and it was a bit of a mud fest! Hopefully after a brush they'll be as good as new. And they were only £19.99! I ripped out some vouchers in a New Look magazine that I found in the staff room at work too so they were even cheaper, bargain! They're wide fit but feel the same as other shoes, maybe even cosier. There's something really fun about wearing fur around your ankles, and super toasty too!

So cosy! I actually like uggs and ugg style boots though - I know thats controversial to say ha! PS Selina - wanted to ask you - when you went to study in Sweden, was that through ERASMUS? I think I'm going to Sweden in January!

I'm not a fan of Uggs but I know plenty of people who wear them so it's not a big deal. I don't think yours are very Ugg-like though aside from them being furry! They look great and so cosy!
Those tights are pretty on trend too, you were so ahead of the trends when you bought them in the Summer!

I love the tights, they are so cute! They look cosy too... I would love to be able to wear little ankle boots but they make my legs look really stumpy and chunky :( I am getting serious shoe envy here though, very cosy!

Ahh I actually really love them! Might have to pop to New Look and check them out. Did you go to Heaton Park to see the fireworks by any chance? I went and it was so scary :(

Don't worry I don't think they're too Ugg-like! Plus love them with those tights.

The tights and boots are so cozy, but still cute looking!

Those tights are awesome! I'm not a huge fan of Ugg-like boots, but they look really neat with those tights.

I love the alpine/fair isle look. I need to get some sweaters like that. Forever 21 has some for cheap, but I STILL need to wait for another paycheck regardless of their cheapness.

You know I'm a major fan of the tights, I need to embrace the Fairisle!

The boots certainly look very snuggly, which is something I think I need in this awful weather!

Amazing! Ski bunnies? What a nice term used. The boots and the leggings are so captivating and attractive. Really nice to wear them on the yuletide season. Skiing will never be the same with this fashion anymore. Skiing fashion raised to a higher level. Awesome!
