The All Purpose Boots.

So hi...

When I was writing up my winter scarf post ( here) I realised that I had also got myself some winter boots, well actually I hadn't actually bought for winter, but my favourite weather ready ankle boots were starting to fall apart and I thought it was about time to get myself some new boots, and making them winter appropriate would be best.

So I went looking around town for a bit for some new boots but I really wasn't too bothered about what they looked like, I just wanted some decent, not too expensive shoes as I really should have been saving for my holiday rather than spending ( at least that's what I'm trying to do). I walked into shoe zone as they had a few for sale signs but nothing on sale was really catching my eyes as nice but long lasting. then I spotted these, They aren't super pretty or anything, and look pretty much like a workman's boots, but honestly I really like them, they keep my feet warm and are perfect in the rain or really cold weather

I think I picked these up for about £18.99, which is a pretty decent size, I've found my favourite way to wear them is with some warm tights and socks with a skirt or some shorts and a comfy baggy top, They just add a cool little bit of edginess to an outfit which I'm a great fan of. I basically wear all of these boots all the time now since the weather has been so cold and it just can't decide whether to rain or not in a day, and I don't feel like risking my other shoes. So these are pretty much my 'Winter Boots'

Do you have any heavy duty weather ready shoes you love?

The Winter scarf.

So hi...

It's pretty damn cold right now. like freezing my butt off cold. As such, you gotta get those layers on. I've not had a coat for the last three or four weeks as I left my coat behind when I came back from my home town ( not on purpose of course) and so I've been relying of my trusty Brownman Twitch hoodie and this beauty of a scarf to keep me warm while walking to uni and just bracing the day.

The scarf is from New Look and was about £15, It's a tartan print as you can see and it's absolutely gorgeous. My previous scarf was from primark in a brighter red tartan print and as much as I still love that one it's not super thick and for someone without a coat it just wasn't warm enough.
This scarf is almost like a blanket scarf and it's huge and I can wrap it around my self like a shawl to keep me extra toasty.

Another bonus is that it's a reversible scarf, with one side sporting a blue and red tartan print and the other a small monochrome zigzag pattern. Means I can really play around with my outfit and wear the scarf as a more fashion or style piece as well as to keep me warm wrapped around my neck and tucked under my hoodie.

I have recently gotten myself a new coat, I was shocked to find that most places already had swapped out their coats section, like primark had it's bikini's out already??? So I struggled to find one really, I knew I wanted a parka and ended up getting a parka from the primark men's section, it's super oversized and super warm, Not really a coat for style but damn I'll be warm asf when me and my friends are going for late night walks or drives. Maybe I'll have a look for another coat for warmth and style, I'm thinking a blazer style..

What's your favourite scarf this winter?
