My Winter Staples

I sat in front of the wood fire, basking in the warmth of the flames. I can hear the pitter patter of the rain, lightly hitting the window. God, I love that sound. I take in a deep breath and the smell of rich, hot chocolate hits my nostrils. I can't help but smile. Everything about this scene is perfect, right down to my furry slippers and pile of fashion magazines. 

I am a Winter girl, right down to my core (it may be hidden under a few layers of clothing!). I love the relaxing sound of rain, I love the cold wind on my face and I love the smell of fresh air. But, I especially love, Winter fashion. I look forward to Winter all year round. I love tailored jackets, warm woollen coats, scarves, boots and jeans. 

I have spent the last few months building up my perfect Winter 2013 wardrobe and I thought I would share it with you. The below are my Winter staples for 2013 and items I cannot live without in the dead of Winter.

Shoe of the Week

Now that Perth, is finally cooling down, I thought it was time to pull out my Winter clothes and my favourite ankle boots, for the season.

My Shoe of the Week is 'Alias' by Sempre Di. This is my first and only pair of Sempre Di shoes and all I can say is... I want more. 

Wearing: Cue coat / Cue skirt / Cue accessories / Witchery handbag / Sempre Di heels

I bought these shoes back in early March, when Winter shoes started arriving in stores. I have held onto them, for months but now that the weather is cooling down, I can finally step out, in my favourite ankle boots.

These ankle boots are perfect in every way. I love how incredibly comfortable they are and how versatile they will be throughout Winter. The leather is durable against the rain and they are perfect for keeping my feet toasty warm and dry during Winter.

I am a lover of thin, stiletto heels but every now and again, I am thankful for chunky heels. These boots are very comfortable to wear all day and the chunky heel makes them easy to walk in.

Another feature of the boot that I love, is the cut out details on the side. Sometimes ankle boots can make your legs appear shorter. But, with these cut out details, they elongate your silhouette, so you won't have to worry about that!

I have worn these boots with everything. Dresses, skirts, jeans, shorts and I cannot get enough of them.
