Play the Shoe Stylist: Topshop's premium platform lace up boots

pweptoeboots.jpgWe've been going a little too easy on you lately, so this week's Play the Shoe Stylist is a little more challenging. We'd like to see you create an outfit to wear with these platform peep toe boots from Topshop. We've been seeing quite a lot of peep toe boots coming out recently, and they're not my style at all, so I'll be really interested to see what you come up with for this one.

Remember to read the rules before submitting, and make sure your outfit is with us before 9am GMT on Tuesday, so that we can include it.

Important! If you're submitting your outfit using Polyvore, please also send us a list of links to the items you've used. This will really help speed up the process of putting the roundup together, and ensure that your outfit is included.

All Saints' leather stiletto "Scrunch" ankle boots reduced to half price

allsaints-scrunch.jpgYes, it's still winter. On the plus side, though, all those boots that are currently on sale are still very wearable, so you can pick up a bargain without having to wait until next winter to wear it. I love these "Scrunch" ankle boots by All Saints, which have been reduced to £57, and which will look great with tights or jeans. They're only available now in UK sizes 3 and 5, though, so if that's your size, you're in luck, and if not - well, there's always next year...

Bloomingdales put their Big Brown Bags on Wellington boots

bbbwellies.jpgBloomingdales' Big Brown Bags have reached almost iconic status - so much so that the company has now put the bags on its rain boots! They're selling these bag-decorated wellies for $60, and they come with a buckle at the calf to adjust the width. Now, I know lots of us love to walk out of Bloomingdales clutching a Big Brown Bag stuffed with goodies, but I guess the question is, do you love it enough to want to wear the bags on your legs and feet?

Stitch and button ankle boots from Matalan

ankle-boots-stitch-and-button.jpgAnkle boots have really made a comeback over the past few years; and while they're no longer 'news', per se, they're still the best style of boot for the winter-to-spring transition. These lovelies from Matalan are simple, chic and will definitely appeal to those of you on the bargain end of the shoe spectrum. The button detailing make these reminiscent of the very popular New Look boots from last winter, with the stitching freshening them up for 2008. In classic black or grey, Matalan's ankle boots are priced from £10.

Gucci's 'Newton' high heel lace up peekaboo booties

peekaboobooties.jpgI've never really been able to understand the appeal of peep toe boots (or "booties", as the case may be). To me, it's either cold enough to need boots, or it's warm enough to be able to bare your toes, but then again, I do live in Scotland, so maybe that explains it. I can, however, understand the appeal of these 'Newton' booties by Gucci, up to a point. The shape is beautiful and elegant, but I think I'd only ever want to wear them with opaque tights underneath, because the thought of a bare toe poking out of that peep toe is just too strange. What does everyone else think?

Jimmy Choo's 'Wharf' flat boots make winter a little more stylish

jimmychoowharf.jpgJimmy Choo may be best known for his delicate, strappy sandals, but the designer does a good line in boots and flats, too, as these 'Wharf' boots testify. Because I can't seem to own suede for more than a day before totally ruining it, I probably wouldn't risk the £395 that these boots cost, only to get them soaked in some muddy puddle, but if you have no such fears, they're the kind of casual-but-smart footwear that you'll wear all winter, with everything you own.

Teal coloured button detail ankle boots from River Island

teal-boots.jpgThe Spring collections may be starting to flood the stores, but there are still some winter boots around for those of us who're still experiencing the worst of the winter weather. If you're starting to get bored with dark colours, though, these teal ankle boots from River Island will add a touch of brightness to your outfits. They have a medium heel and round toe, which should make them relatively easy to walk in, too.
