1. ACE Real Leather Fringe Boots, £65 - Miss Selfridge - I absolutely love these cream fringed boots from Miss Selfridge but always find myself asking how practical cream boots are with all our English rain?!  I know full well that 5 minutes after stepping out the house they'd no longer be cream.  Still so tempted though for those rare dry days.

2. Wrangler Creek ll Ankle Boots, £65 - Brantano - Now these aren't really my usual style but I've been looking for some warmer and sturdy boots to walk the dog in, especially down by the river where it can get a bit wet and muddy and my feet are always cold in my wellies.  With the fur lining on these though I'm sure they'd be super warm.

3. Emilio Luca X Red Crystalla Ankle Boots, £28 - Brantano - You can't beat a pair of classic black boots and if my bank allowed it I'd have a million pairs.  They are so versatile.  I love the buckle detail and pointed toe on this pair.  They have a really smart look to them making them perfect for a more put together but comfortable look.

4. Digosien Boots, £55 - Aldo - The colour of these boots are gorgeous and I think the mixture of the deep wine coloured suede and the gold detail on the heel make them look so luxurious.  They would be perfect for dressing up my black skinny jeans and even better they are half price in the sale reduced from £110 to £55.

5. Navy Buckle Strap Block Heel Ankle Boots, £29.99 - New Look - These navy boots make a great alternative to black.  I love the mixture of the suede and leather and the slight change in shades, all adding interest to what is otherwise a simple boot.

I love the texture of suede it is just so soft and has a kind of luxurious feel to it.  I also love the 70's boho vibe the fringed pieces add to an outfit.  I usually think of suede as a winter material, mainly due to all the dark tan and black pieces but I love how it has been updated for summer in paler colours like this mint green Topshop skirt and the denim blue dress from Boohoo, which is a bargain at £18.  I'm really tempted by that one!

What do you think of Suede?  Is it a trend that you'll be carrying over to winter with you?

So, my Very disco pants have arrived (a few days ago actually) and I couldn't wait to squeeze myself into them.  I say squeeze because when I took them, ok ripped them, out of the packet they looked tiny and I thought there was no way I was going to squeeze my big bum into them.  Thankfully they glided right on and fit me like a glove.  I just wore them casually for a tiny bit of shopping and lunch but I can't wait to glam them up.  Yes, I am a complete failure at shopping bans, although in my defense they were all bargains.
