Derelict Dandy

Vayolet by Solea, grey suede, bootstrap detail, there is a derelict reference here created by the concept of layering as well as the reference to the ever so English ‘Spats’. These kinds of nostalgic allusions create an air of romanticism, not to mention the inevitable masculine undertones, which add a unique edge.  You can do casual or go formal, one thing’s for sure, the Vayolet will definitely add some individual charm to your outfit.

Calf Skin Boot

An absolutely exquisite rendition by Zac Posen, this ‘Calf Skin Ankle Boot’ retains a sense of romanticism, nostalgia with a contemporary flare like no other. The clean definite lines create an interesting design dynamic, as well as throwing in hints of masculine influences, as well as a touch of the military jacket with the side flap and button. The thing I adore about these boots is that they’re so versatile sleek and stylish with skirt, trouser or jeans.

The Harness Slouch

Exquisite in its mood of relaxed chic, the effortless draping of the sued from the patent strap, to the oversized button and peek-a-boo gap, this Harness Slouch boot by Michael Kors is crosses the boundary of youthful sophistication and a mature effervescence that can be worn by a plethora of age ranges. Ever so cute with a short denim mini, tuck your favourite skinny leg for sexy, or match with a flowey dress accessorised with layers to for a well-groomed derelict look!

Rustic Aroma

Wonderfully rustic in its innate qualities, these Women’s Tobaccos Muflone boots  by Celine, are featured at kitson as an exclusive item! The delicate imperfections in the leather create an authentic look, creating an aroma of old country, tobacco chewing, and rodeos. There are elements referencing military with the clean black lines and wrap around buckle, which I think updates the tired old cowboy boot trend. The blend of masculine, rustic maturity, and slender feminine heel creates a cocktail of sexy casual, perfect for your favourite pair of jeans, or hot little mini skirt.

Slouch Your Way To Style

This slouchy boot named Charlotte from Bakers is the perfect example of when all you feel like doing is slouch. You can relax in these boots, while knowing your look embodies a funky style with a carefree attitude. There are peter pan elements to this boot, which give it a boyish allure that’s flirty and capricious, thrown in with a petite pointed heel for a little modest femininity. Charlotte also comes in a subtle grey, if eye popping red doesn’t tickle your fancy. These will look great with skinny jeans tucked in, a skirt or some black leggings with an oversized knit jumper, for a retro Mod look.

Buckled To Perfection

Buckled with military precision and executed with perfection, these boots by Stella McCartney embody a sense of strength and style like no other. The khaki colouring, remains neutral and authentic, yet still retains a sense of richness. The gold antique hardware intensifies its nostalgic presence.  The back of the boot is just as significant in this design, with the diagonal straps seemingly hugging the leg adds an element of dominance and reiterates the military theme. These boots where made to be seen, outfit with jeans tucked into them or a cute mini for a sassy look.

Aztec Inspiration

This Aztec inspired Python-embossed scarf boot by Giuseppe Zanotti is a flamboyant spin on the ever trendy, cowboy boot. Its one of those pieces that holds its own, its not a mere wardrobe accessory, it’s a strong piece that can carry and inspire your outfit. Some might consider there being an excess of embellishment, however there is something organic about the way its held together, everything has its purpose from the buckle to the sash, and the superb intricacy of the carved heel, and the textured combination of leather and fabric is simply stunning. This boot is a bold statement with wonderful elements of bohemia, and acute details. A black gypsy skirt or some skinny jeans neatly scrunched into the boots are ideal picks to unleash the chic boho within.

Indulge in the Fortune 05

‘Fortuna 05’ by Baby Phat is for the sassy, ‘ghetto fabulous’ woman with an abundance of confidence and a taste for indulgence. The brown suede maintains an earthy quality which creates a balance, complementing its ‘bling bling’ attributes.  Show off the Fortuna 05 with a mini, or some dark denim skinny jeans. Details are what make a good shoe great, nice touch with the gold accents on the heel. At USD$115.00, its well worth the investment.

A Scrunchie with Character

This Scrunched Boot by Juicy Couture has a lot of character. You need a definite sense of style to pull this one off without looking like you are going to a costume party. The rich tones of the leather and masculine temperament will give you a definite edge. As a strong rustic piece, complement it with a modern look, skinny jeans, and a simple cotton shirt, a flared skirt or shirt dress.

Chocolate Suede

Now that I have your attention! This Lara by Gina is the type of shoe that makes you do a double take. It has within it a strong character, you will either love or hate. Draped chocolate suede ankle wrapped round toed boot on a 4 inch stacked heel, I am reminded of something my mother wore in the 80's, it also reminds me of a French court in the 18^th century. It references costume without overstepping the line, you can play dress up without looking cheesy!

'Lara' is for a woman with a definite sense of style, and who likes to have fun with fashion.
