Bootiful boots

And so the hunt begins for the perfect pair of winter boots. This year I'm thinking black, I'm thinking ankle and I'm thinking wedge, with some laces and buckles thrown in. AW 2009 I wore my All Saints-esque military boots to death, and I think I'll pull them out again this year for a Zara/Marc Jacobs vibe, but I feel the need for a little elevation for work. I'm looking for a one boot fits all, but this suggests of course that whichever pair I pick needs to go with ALL my work uniform and comfort is paramount. No mean feat. What's your winter footwear of choice?

Primark, you have outdone yourself

There were some unexpected treats to be found in Primark this week. £11 will buy the amazing striped jersey maxi, a dead ringer for a £120 Acne dress. Exactly what I was after, but about three inches too short. Shame. What I did splash on though were these buckled boots for £15. Every retailer from Primark to Topshop to ASOS have done copies of these Opening Ceremony £325 buckle boots, but none I could find were quite right. These beauts fit the bill though, and were such a bargain.
