Double Laze.

Wednesdays are officially my lazy day; I have the day off uni for 'self-directed' study and do not creep out from under my duvet until afternoon hours. Not much gets done, and I barely leave the house...part of me is ashamed but part of me says it's okay. It's okay because I'm a very poor student who needs to lock herself away from any spending temptations. It's okay because the day can be spent pretending to get through the mountain of uni work piling up. It's okay because it's cold and miserable outside. Does anybody else get my drift? One day a week is allowed right? 

All these reasons were verified today when I did in fact leave the house *shock horror* to apply for some voluntary work in town. Yes I fell victim to temptations, no I didn't even come close to completing any work and did you see the weather today?!

Double denim anyone? It's a bit hit and miss, but I wasn't taking myself too seriously this afternoon and really wanted to wear my beloved men's shirt, plus it's a nod to the western trend that's hovering about. I've seen a lot of amazing Isabel Marant-esque boots and shirts on the high street, love this subtle cowgirl revival; have you girls been influenced yet?

I'm off to read fashion magazines for uni research...not too shabby tehe. 

Bootilust.

I know, I know. It's still summer and I should be lusting over the perfect pair of sandals or summer heels, but I'm afraid the autumnal boot collections are making an appearance and it's hard to contain my excitement. Ankle boots are, for me, the best shoe...comfortable, transeasonal and versatile. Luckily for me, AW12 looks like a big one for my old friends, with the western trend sticking around; cuban heels, studs and tassels galore.

The 'unusuals' are ones that I wouldn't normally go for, however there's something about these. For one, the ankle welly boots are just the perfect for this weather, and scream cuteness in the red. Secondly, the River Island JC-esque boots just seem so unique, the aztec print is what sways me yet I just don't get to wear heels enough to make use of this babies. Lastly, the Zara ones. These are way out my footwear comfort zone, BUT these have stolen my style heart haha. 

This list is going to come in handy for the next season, even if some of them are slightly out of my price range I shall use them as inspiration. Any of you guys excited about next season buys?
