As Amber mentioned yesterday, it seems to be a dime a dozen when it comes to shoe-boots at the moment. So when you find one that sets itself apart from the rest (by price, material or design) you'd be smart to jump on it, wouldn't you?
Which is why these Bijou lace-ups are just begging to be snatched up (lovingly, of course) - the ginormous platform and pretty contrast leather piping are lovely and very on-trend, but the cut-out really seals the deal in my opinion. Better get jumping, and make it quick - these are £85 from Dune.

It's an UGG! It's a hiking boot! It's a slipper! It doesn't know what it is and frankly, neither do I. The sheepskin lining *does* look super snug and I know my tootsies wouldn't say no to that kind of comfort come winter, but at what expense? Green laces and a furry suede tongue? Err...
They're not my cup of tea thanks love, but I can imagine they could look quite passable on a model-esque type paired with some skinny minnie jeans. Or would they ever look passable? For £110, I'm not really willing to find out. From ASOS.

So you've been looking for a classic shoe boot all season and haven't been able to find a comfortable, cute bootie with a medium heel, gently rounded toe and subtle punched leather detailing? Me too.
Good news kiddos: I came across these beauties from Oasis and they're everything I've been looking for. So of course, I snapped them up super quick! (You need to jump on these things pronto - I've learnt my lesson the hard way.) At £65 they're not the cheapest shooties around, but they're great quality. And I managed to find me an Oasis discount code too, so a further 15% off right before my birthday was a bonus.

If you have been hankering to try out a multitude of trends all in one shoe, but just haven't had the budget to stretch very far then you're in luck.
These shoes from Peacocks combine everything that you should be looking for this season - patent, lace-up, peep-toe and skyscraper heels. And the best bit? They're only £15. Yes, really. Get 'em while they're hot... and still available.

Would you? Could you?
These are the first questions I have to ask you, before going any further. Because if the idea of woven flat lace-up shoes simply doesn't do it for you, then I'd skip this post right now. For me, they hold an odd fascination... the colour choice (available in purple, tan and the always reliable black) do hone in on this season's palette, and I'm not completely adverse to the notion of woven leather. At £28 a pop, if you're really that curious then give it a go, what have you got to lose?
