Sockboots: got them!

Remember when I wrote about the sockboot trend here? I obviously couldn’t resist and got my first pair at Zara! I did go for neutral and classy black instead of eye-catching yellow or red. A second investment, maybe? Here I wore my new babies in a pretty simple way: denim and a chunky knit. Perfect…

Shoe crush: sock boots

You guys, I have a new shoe obsession and it’s pretty unusual. You know that I’m mostly into flat, sporty and chunky shoes but… I recently fell in love with the sock boot.

Coloured faux fur: shopping edit

Tis the season of faux fur! Let’s all admit it: faux fur doesn’t really keep you warm, so it’s not fitted for actual Winter. But unlike ice cold snow days, it’s PERFECT for this weird in-between weather: it’s kind of chilly outside but you still want to rock bare legs. And a little extra faux fur…
