YES to adventure

The good old Pied a Terre cowboy boots have taken a good battering and have truly been worn to pieces. It makes me sad and it's the reason why it's taken me so long to buy a new pair of boots...I was looking for the same kind but realistically would have never found it so eventually gave up! I waited until October to start looking for a good, comfortable pair of boots that would last me through the Autumn and Winter but mainly through the London rain.

I found a few good pairs in Kurt Geiger, Zara and Topshop, but in the end opted for these beauties from the Dune Black premium capsule collection...

I've honestly always stayed away from Chelsea boots, because I am petite and don't usually suit this style (it's for the leggy tall ones!). But as soon as I put them on I was surprised at how lovely they looked with both jeans and dresses, but the best part was how comfortable and soft they were.

As you can see I have already been wearing them in nicely :) The images show the boots after having been worn for a week

Home Proud: Vintage / Macrame Plant Pot Hangers

So my grandparents have this beautiful long, white crochet plant pot holder which I remember really well from my childhood.

It was always there in the corner by the couch, in all my baby pictures and never really moved over the past 20 years!

I never, ever gave it any thought until recently when I started seeing something similar in a boho-chic home which I admired.

I think they look really beautiful inside or outside the home, or just in a conservatory. If you have lots of rooms, multiple pot hangers set up to hang on different heights would also look really pretty.

There are lots on eBay and Etsy to choose from, like the below...

New Finds: Coca Cola bag

I have to admit I'm a sucker for Instagram-induced shopping...if we can call it that. I follow a lot of fashionistas on the social media network and have bought things I have seen on there numerous times as it's a great place to find something different or from another country.

One of those things is this super cute Coca Cola bag I recently bought from Patricia Field in New York. It's rather small and can barely fit anything, but this is one of those sacrifices for fashion I'm willing to take...the phone will just have to go into a jacket pocket!!! was pleasantly surprised at the great quality of this little gem - it's not like a metal can of coke as it has lining and a better quality outer shell and I love it already.

You can also buy a Diet Coke clutch!
