The Ankle Boot

Sonia Rykiel €435

Sorry peeps, been very laxidazy in posting recently and I humbly apologise for that, nothing however gives you a kick up the arse as the constant reminders of back to school everywhere I look. Time to focus and knuckle down. Back to school does however mean Autumn has arrived! This can only mean good news in the fashion stakes, since I can know annoy you all by going on about all the beautuiful things I want in my wardrobe this season.
My favourite item of Autumn/Winter is the Humble boot. I live in them from now until possibly May next year so understandable that I put a lot of time and effort in finding the perfect ones. I will come back to knee length boots at a later date so dont worry but my newest obsession is the ankle boot. The designers have really been putting in the effort of late and have produced an unbelieveable amount of versatility in the ankle boot. From day to evening, heeled, flat and crazy coloured, they have designed it all. So let's take a look at my latest discoveries.

KG by Kurt Geiger €205

For the biker chick in me I'm loving these flat biker boots. I always secretly had a crush on Doc Martins when I was a teenager but these are a modern funkier take on the Doc. Skinny jeans, sloppy T-shirt and a leather jacket. Sorted!

Android boot Topshop  €90

These are fabulous. Spotted them in Topshop and have yet to try them on but any shoes or boots ever bought in Topshop have been super comfy so I have no doubt these will be too. They are a little crazy but great as a statement shoe and can keep the rest of the outfit simple.

ASOS hiking boot €57

Slightly more butch style but its the contradiction that will work with this. These should be worn with a cute playsuit or short minidress so you cross the girlyness with the roughness of the hiking style and throw in some opaque tights which will be extra flattering on the leg.

Aldo €102

I love these for going out! The best thing about Aldo is the quality. The leather is always soft and flexible and gets even better with wear. Anything I have ever bought from here has lasted forever. Saturday night out, little black dress or skinny cigar pants and blouse top. Gorgeous!

Jimmy Choo €1195

Im sorry guys, I couldn't resist the beautifulness. A girl can only dream. These are the most beautiful things I have ever seen. What more can I say. They speak for themselves..........

Louboutin €975

While I'm feeling frivolous I thought I'd sneak these in. These suede beauties are simple yet chic. On my "when I win the lotto" wishlist but would be a classic for sure.

Office €107

Lastly I love these cute and very wearable boots from Office. Perfect for work everyday and at the not so scary price of €107 I think these are a must have!

Im off now to buy my new pencil case and school bag! Happy days!

Blonde Vs Redhead

I've been toying with the idea of going from Blonde to Redhead over the last few months. Apart from the fact that its costing me a fortune, ruining my hair and looking fairly dodgy with bad roots half the time, I'm also beginning to wonder if Red's have more fun?

They come across as sexy, feisty and confident. Just look at Joan Holloway in Madmen. The absolute epitome of a sexy red head and the men go crazy for her.

The problem is, we have always known Joan as a redhead, in fact she is known for it. Changing from one look to the other can be drastic and a little scary for a comfort blonde like me. The closest I have ever been is my over use of Sun-in hair lightener in the 90's which trust me is not a good look...

I needed to do a little bit or research to see the results of others who have made the change.
Firstly I came across Emma Stone.

Sultry Redhead

But Sexier Blonde

So Emma can do either but at a push I think she looks better blonde even though it's not her natural colour. Drew Barrymore (My girl crush!) can probably handle any colour but again I think the blonde outways the red.

This is a huge change for Rhianna. From sandy blonde to completely fiery redhead. But She gets it so right. She looks even hotter Red if that's even possible. Good move.

Scalett was brave to try out the darker colour but we will always know her as blonde and it suits her so well that she should definitely stick to it. Blonde brings out her eyes and is definitely softer on her face.

Poor Lindsay Lohan. God bless her she has tried out every colour under the sun and more often than not gets its wrong. This one is easy. There really is no comparison. Her natural red is beautiful on her skin tone and with her eye colour. It is also interesting to notice since she went trashy blonde her career has fallen by the wayside. I think a change back to the old red would be a good first step to getting her life back on track.

Ok so after my comparisons, I'm still finding it hard to make a decision as to what to do but it does seem that the girls who wear Red better are either ginger or darker naturally which doesn't really give me confidence.

Something tells me that next time I'm in the hairdressers chair I'll chicken out and go for the peroxide again.......
