Not ready to give my boots the boot…

Sandals and flip flops might be appearing in stores on the high street now but I am nowhere near ready to pack away my boots yet. Winter this year has been all about the ankle boots for me.

After I spent the weekend living in two of my pairs of ankle boots they have taken a little bit of a battering with all of the walking we did around Glasgow. So I am now on the lookout for another pair to add to my collection before the weather starts to improve (please may it start to soon!).

Here are my options:

Love these Best Mountain heeled desert boots and what about these red boots?

These grey boots are high on my wish list (such a bargain!!) and am loving the heeled walking boots:

Wedges are still on trend for Autumn Winter 2011, so these would see me through to next season too:

Keep your feet warm with these Rip Curl booties or stay on trend with these heeled ankle boots:

Which do you think I should choose?

LFW #3: Aminaka Wilmont Autumn Winter 2011

"the Aminaka Wilmont woman is ... determined and confident with her own individuality and uniqueness"

As I was ushered into my very first catwalk show at London Fashion Week, I had no idea what to expect: the lights dimmed and the music started and everyone in the tent hushed as they awaited the appearance of the first model:

Aminaka Wilmont's Autumn Winter 2011 collection is entitled "Totem". With the collection the designer attempts to create a new tribe of women:

Dressed in draping silk which maintain a soft silhouette and complimented with asymmetric cuts:

The avant-garde and trademark tailoring flatters the female shape:

Whilst the use of washed leather jackets and shorts in addition to thick, Italian Shearling and Toscana gives a strong and more touch edge to the collection:

The inspiration for the digital prints - animal hides, skins and furs - are evident throughout:

The wedge boots - both knee and ankle high - represent strong animal hooves which aids the creation of an elegant yet hard edge:

Pheasant feathers have been used to add detail and reinforce the animal inspiration:

Knitwear - in the shape of arm and leg warmers - continue the raw feel felt throughout the collection:

This collection is wearable and beautiful. The neutral colour palette appeals to my wardrobe preferences, whilst the knitwear and wedges provide a practical element to this catwalk collection.

What do you think of the collection?
