H&M Lita Dupes

Ever since I saw the first pair of Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots on the internet, I was intrigued! They were so different in shape and style to any other shoe boot, I found it fascinating that they were such an instant hit that high street and bargain online fashion stores were falling over each other to create dupes! It's taken me a while to jump on the bandwagon, but when I explain how much of a bargain my H&M dupes were, I'm sure you'll understand why I had to take the leap!


The top of the boot is slightly longer on these than most other Lita dupes, but I plan on wearing these with thick chunky socks that would cover that part of the boot anyway! Also the higher the boot goes on your leg, the more supported your ankle is and the less likely you are to do yourself an injury or fall!


I love the dark brown colour of the wooden heels - it makes these a little different from the usual ones you see in stores. These were £29.99 from H&M, but let me tell you the story of how I got them so much cheaper!

I was browsing the internet for voucher codes when I saw a 50% off one item H&M code on Hot UK Deals - I scrolled down the comments to see if it had worked for other people, and saw someone had commented to say that this voucher code could be used at the same time as another code for £5 off! Unbelieveable! So I rushed onto the H&M site to try and find one item I wanted to get for a bargain price, and found these babies! With all the discounts plus postage, I think I got them for around £13.49 - which is ridiculous for such gorgeous footwear! Even at £29.99 they'd be a good deal! Click!

I can't wear these out just yet but I'm hoping in a few weeks I'll be able to pair them with black tights, chunky socks, a skater skirt & knitted jumper!

Have you invested in some Litas or Lita dupes? What do you wear yours with?

I Want Never Gets... Boots

I could not believe how cold it was when I was walking home from work last night! The ground was icy! I know it's been like that for a while in other parts of the country but in London it takes a while to catch up when it comes to the weather! The coldness inspired today's posts on boots - essential footwear when it's below freezing out!


These snake print chelsea boots are fab - I love the simple twist on an classic popular style. I think these would look great with almost anything as black is such a versatile colour to wear with most of the shades for autumn winter. £138.99 from Jules B Click!


There's something about fake fur trim on a boot that always gets me - it makes these look super cute and cosy! Although I'm still not able to wear heels I think wedges would be a sensible choice, and I like the neutral colour of these. They're be great for wearing with a leather skater skirt and big oversized blazer for a Christmas catch up at the pub! £149.95 Click!


These are technically more shoes than boots, but nevermind! I love how unique and quirky this style is - certain to set you apart from the crowd! I think these would look amazing with some skinny jeans and a dressy top for Christmas day or a casual New Year's Eve! On offer at £198.74 from Jules B Click!


I do love a good lace up boot, and these are some of the best I've seen! I like how the calf of the boot is shaped to fit your calf - nothing worse than seeing someone wearing a beautiful pair of boots that fit her like a pair of wellies! I find myself buying a lot of tan footwear as opposed to brown as I think tan goes with that many more colours and looks classy every time. I'd love these boots to find their way into my winter wardrobe this year! £174.99 Click!


Finally, when I was slip-sliding my way home from the train station I was wishing I'd had the sense to pop on a sensible pair of biker boots to keep me from falling on the ice! These ones fit the bill nicely, and I'd easily be able to wear a nice chunky pair of socks too to keep my toes toasty and warm! £178.99 from Jules B Click!

What style of boots have you been wearing the most this winter?

Heeled Chelsea Boots

It's been a while since I first wanted a pair of heeled Chelsea boots. In fact probably almost a year! But for whatever reason I never got around to buying some... so I decided to invest in a pair a few weeks ago. The ones I'd spotted all that time ago were on Daisy Street so I made that my first place to look this time around.


As soon I started looking I saw these beauties. I love the curved toe with the hidden platform - I think it makes them look a lot softer and more feminine, which is important to me as I think a lot of Chelsea boots can appear quite masculine. I was even happier when I eventually decided to buy these, as they were £5 off! So £24.99 including free saver delivery. I expected delivery to take ages, I've never ordered from Daisy Street before, but I was super impressed. I ordered them on a Sunday and they arrived on the Tuesday of the following week - absolutely delighted with 7 working days delivery time. As for the boots themselves, well you can see how pretty they are! They seem very sturdy and well made and although I haven't been able to wear heels and so haven't worn them out yet, sitting with them on my feet makes me confident that they will be one of my fave pairs of shoes this winter!

Do you own any Chelsea boots, or any other shoes from Daisy Street? What are your experiences?
