Affordable Winter Boots Wishlist

Hey lovelies,

Ankle boots are everywhere you look at the minute, and as you can wear them with everything they really are a staple piece to add to your wardrobe! I've been loving so many lately that I thought i'd share a few of my favourites with you guys!

Usually I stick to my standard black and brown ankle boots for this time of year, and save my lighter and more colourful boots for the spring and autumn months, but this year there's so many nice colourful boots that I might have to invest in some of these this year for a change!

And of course I had to add them all to my wantfeed page, it is getting close to christmas present buying time after all! If you want to visit the stores where I found the shoes then just click the photo source links under each photo! :)

I am in love with these Navy 'Lyndsey' Ankle Boots from Dorothy Perkins at Debenhams, and at £39 they are a bargain. I'm definitely after some of these, still quite dark but they bring a little extra to an outfit rather than my usual black boots. The shiny inside heel is a cute touch too!

I must say though, they are also very beautiful in black, I can't decide which I love more! There's just something so classic about black boots for the winter, and at £39 you can't really go wrong!

I think my favourite colour boots for this season has to be burgundy. There's something so festive about them and they look great with so many different outfits. Plus I do have a lot of different red clothes this winter, so they'll be perfect with those! At £115 these are a bit more expensive, but they are such an amazing colour I had to share.

I think these boots have to be my favourite, but they don't have them in my size! So sad, but they are beautiful so had to be shared, and they are £49 so not outrageous either, I just wish they had them in my size!

The last pair of red boots i'll share haha, can you tell I really want some red boots this year?! But I'm a 42 so it's practically impossible to find any! One day I will find some, but until then i'll just share my favourites with you guys! :) These are £69 so a little bit more than the others, but the gold plated heels are gorgeous! The heels are a little higher on these too, so perfect for the evening with some jeans or a cute dress!

(They also make these in black, and they are equally as gorgeous in black too!)

I've never been a fan of buckles and straps on ankle boots, but surprisingly I actually love these boots. The heels are a bit higher than I usually buy for daytime boots but I think i'd make an exception for these as they are beautiful! A bit more expensive at £72, but if you look after them they'd last a long time! Plus it's almost christmas time so the perfect time to treat yourself! :)

What ankle boots are you loving at the moment?

Do you like to wear coloured boots, or do you stick to the classic black and brown in the winter?

Love, Amylou x

Spring Event Dresses

Hey lovelies!

Spring is such a lovely time, and it's often a favourite for many special events such as weddings and christenings, so I thought i'd put together a few of my favourite spring-inspired pastel dresses that i'd love to wear to any spring event!

All of the dresses were available at the time of posting

I love so many of these dresses that I actually bought a few, though I think my absolute favourite is the blue lace dress from Coast in the top right-hand corner, if only I had an event to wear it to, I would buy it!

I know some people wear pastels year round, but I tend to go towards darker colours for autumn and winter, so it's so lovely to be able to get out all of my pastels in the Spring.

I'd love to know which is your favourite!

Hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday weekend!

Love, Amylou x

Bonprix Blogger Style Challenge

Hey lovelies!

The lovely PR team over at Bonprix contacted me recently and asked me to take part in their monthly blogger style challenge*. After picking my favourite dress from their website, I had to put together three different holiday looks and see what I could come up with!

I'd love to know which of the looks i've put together is your favourite!

Look 1

For my first look I decided to dress up the Empire Line Maxi Dress* with my favorite black Aldo heels, black New Look bag and my fitbit bracelet. This outfit would be perfect for an evening dinner on holiday. The light layers of the bottom part of this dress mean it keeps you cool whilst also being a floor length dress. I kept accessories minimal keeping the focus on the dress. Definitely one of my favourite looks, and one i'll be sporting in Italy this summer.

Look 2

For my second outfit, I decided to put together a look for sightseeing. I'll be going to Italy this summer and that means lots of sightseeing, but I didn't want to wear the usual shorts and tee that I usually go for. I paired the dress* with my favourite Michael Kors sunglasses, Marks and Spencers hat, Ralph Lauren bag, fitbit bracelet and Next shoes. I also felt like the full length skirt would be a little much for day time exploring, but luckily the skirt is sectioned and so I simply took the front section and wrapped it around my waist into a belt. 

Look 3

The sun decided to disappear at this point in true British spring style, so the colours look a little different in this one! I decided for my third look that I wanted another evening look, but this time I wanted one that was a little more casual. I've tied up the front of the dress again and added some nude New Look heels, a Michael Kors watch, Pandora bracelet and Accessorize Bag. This would be perfect for going for an early dinner/late lunch. It is a smart look without being too formal, and would be perfect if the sun is still warm but you want to look a little dressy.

I had so much fun putting these looks together and I would like to say a huge thank you to the PR team at bonprix for inviting me to take part and sending me a beautiful dress. If you want to see the dress online or any of their other styles you can click here :)

Which of these looks are your favourite? Would you style the dress another way?

All my love, Amylou x

Inspired Outfits: Everyday Cinderella

Hey lovelies!

There seems to be a theme to a lot of my recent posts after watching Cinderella! But i've always loved these sorts of posts when i've seen them, and i've been looking for some new spring outfits so I thought i'd share with you my favourite pieces that i've found for an everyday outfit inspired by Cinderella's blue dresses

Everyday Cinderella by amylouisesugden featuring jimmy choo shoes

I couldn't decide whether i'd want heels or flats, but how amazing are those jimmy choo heels?! I actually love them.

I love rings at the minute too. I have a little white gold bow one, but it's too big and just falls off me now, and I also have an adorable snowflake one but I feel like that is a bit wintery, so i'm on the lookout for some new ones and these two from Pandora are so cute! The top one is a ring of daisies and the bottom is two branches, I love them both!

The dress is beautiful. I love blue dresses and this one is in such a flattering shape, so nice! Plus it would look so nice with the cropped jacket and embellished headband.

One thing that I really love but don't own any of are the box clutches that look like books or magazines. I am in love with the old style ones and this cinderella one is so cute, I definitely want to get some of these! 

What do you think to my picks for an everyday outfit inspired by cinderella? Would you pick something different? Let me know what you think!

Love Amylou x

A New Spring Wardrobe

via: Pinterest

Hey there lovelies,

My favourite thing about this time of year is that I can put away my boots, all my dark clothes and make-up and the pastels can come back out!

I know you can wear whatever colours you like all year, but I tend to wear dark things in the winter and bright and pastel colours in spring/summer! 

I went shopping the other day and got myself some new pastel pink jeans and thought that i'd share my ideal outfit wearing them!

I just love these jeans, and I have the blue top in a slightly lighter shade but I couldn't find it on the Topshop website! There's something just so nice about putting away all of my dark winter clothes, I feel so much happier when i'm in pastels and the sun is shining! I have been on the lookout for some grey boots like these for ages too!

What do you think of my choices? What would you pair pink jeans with?

Love, Amylou x

A White and Gold Affair

Hello lovelies,

I've been looking around for a new spring wardrobe, and as much as i'm loving pastels and navy stripes, I think my favourite look for spring still has to be white and gold.

There's something just so classic about a white outfit with a hint of gold.

I saw this photo on Pinterest the other day and it inspired me to have a look around for some new white and gold accessories for this season

I decided to have a little play around on Polyvore and put together some outfits that i'd love to wear this spring

White and Gold by amylouisesugden featuring a white shirt

I love my white lace skirt, and I love the infinity rings from Tiffany and Co. I think I would maybe prefer the ring in white gold or rose gold, i'm not a huge fan when it comes to yellow gold jewellery and i'm really loving rose gold at the minute! A cute pendant pearl necklace is always a classic too, so beautiful.

I need to get some new gold sandals for this year, and how beautiful are these from Oscar de la Renta?! A little out of my price range unfortunately, but still so nice, i'll definitely be looking for something similar! I also really want to get the Charlotte Tilbury perfect nude set,  I have the vintage vamp set and I wear it all the time, such good quality and beautiful colours.

What do you think of the white and gold theme? Do you prefer a bit of colour in your spring wardrobe?
