The Art of the Ankle



For me the ankle has always been one of my favourite body parts to decorate not just with jewellery, but with beautiful shoes as well. There are so many ways to customize our own look these days and emphasizing certain attributes only adds to the fun of dressing up as a feminine, fashion-conscious woman. 

When shopping for stilettos I tend to try and look for the whole package: a steady platform that is pretty comfortable to walk in, a quirky design or embellishment, and an ankle strap wherever possible. Stilettos can be your best friend if you choose a pair that has decent ankle support. After all, the last thing anybody wants is a strain after only a couple of hours walking around in that new pair of shoes! Chiropody foam also works wonders for providing additional comfort to arched feet.

Sometimes I like to customize my stiletto collection by adding a D.I.Y strap onto a pair that doesn't already have any. A simple how-to tutorial is all that is required if you have a favourite pair of heels that needs some extra support.

Making a bold footwear statement has always been one of the most appealing things about fashion, and I love nothing more than eyeing up new lines on the likes of Shoespie, Dr. Martens and ASOS. Flats are equally as 'out there' as heels though, which is why I spend a lot of my time wearing boots, pumps and smart shoes in addition to stilettos.

Time for a Spring Update...

Hey Bloggers,

Today's post talks about some of the gorgeous items which have been firmly on my fashion radar for a while now. It's coming up to payday soon which will definitely be an excuse to invest in some key pieces to update my spring wardrobe. 

I don't know about you but as it's been so cold and rainy for months on end, I seem to have been living in cardi's and jumpers! Don't get me wrong I love a good slouchy jumper as there are so many versatile numbers out there on the retail market, but sometimes it's good to mix things up and change what you choose to wear.

Now that the weather is changing and we're due to have a heatwave sometime soon, it's got me thinking about tees and layering. Spring is a great season for fashion and beauty as you can really play around with pastel colours, layer up on your neon accessories and experiment with light and airy beauty products that don't suffocate the skin so much!

Here are a few of my favourite styling ideas for spring to inspire you...

Actual Pain Eye Of The Angel Photographic Vest - ASOS (Love the Beauty vs Horror print!)

Black Antique Cross Leggings - TOPSHOP (I have a very similar pair I bought from Primark a few months back, but these are definitely on my wish list!)

ALVI Flatform Ankle Boots - ASOS (The comfiest shoe type ever!)

Backpack Bag In Mono Stripe - ASOS (Beetlejuice stripes, leather buckles, what's not to love??)
Pink Snakeskin Metallic Stilettos - Jimmy Choo (A little pricey for my budget but hey, we can all dream...)

MATCH Leather Brogues - ASOS (Blue pastels compliment denim ensembles perfectly - These would go with the denim pencil skirt I bought for £2.80 from a charity chop in Lancaster!)
