I've heard whisperings of Faith's Mienna boots as being "the style of the season" and while I don't see them as anything to get overly excited about in their own right, you certainly won't lose any style points by wearing them well into the new year.
'Mienna' certainly has it all in terms of A/W 09/10 trappings with its slouchy shabby-chic vibe and if you're a sucker for the boot tassel, you''ll love the frayed-suede pendulum dangling from the top. The flat heel makes this a practical choice for those who like to live in long boots, and the studding is kept to a minimum, making them suitable for everyday wear.
Owing to their popularity these boots have sold out on the web. But more are coming, and you might find a pair in store if you're lucky. £140 at Faith
