My Picks: Nine West Ankle Boots

One thing that caught my eye this week was the amazing range of ankle boots at Nine West! I think ankle boots are just the ideal footwear for autumn and winter, so I've been looking out for that perfect pair for quite a while. The ones from Nine West are really ideal for me, but so many of their shoes are so versatile and I can imagine them with so many different outfits that I'm really struggling to choose!

What I really like about Nine West is how they have a great range of flat boots as well, so you don't have to decide between looking stylish and being practical! Because let's face it, we don't want to wear heels all the time!! Some times we just need something comfortable for traipsing round the shops, and Nine West deliver!

Nine West Perfectpr, £135
These little ankle boots are so cute! I think they'd be perfect for wearing with a nice pair of jeans, they'd be so smart! They could really just give that extra polished edge to an outfit. And they're flat as well, so they'd be super-easy to wear - perfect for the school run!!

Nine West Digin, £165
I'm so excited for these boots, aren't they gorgeous?! I think you could dress them up or down, and they'd go really well with a skirt or jeans really. They've got enough height to make you walk tall, but the heel's chunky enough that you can walk easily without having to try and balance all the time!

Nine West Bestthing, £140
These are literally the perfect black ankle boots! They're dressy and they're classy, and they've got that beautiful snakeskin detailing to just add that little extra sparkle to them. I can see myself wearing these all through winter, with black tights they'd be amazing!

Nine West Icelandic, £155
Ahh I'm in love with these boots! I love everything about them - the fringing, the buckles, the little peeptoe, they're so adorable! I'd wear them with a skirt, with a thick woolly cardigan, with a fur gilet, we'd be inseparable!

Nine West Sosie, £130
I need a pair of these in my life. I firmly believe that everyone needs a pair of slouchy brown suede ankle boots, and these are the perfect mix of casual and chic that you can get away with wearing all the time! Again being flat they'd be great for the school run!

So that's my top 5 picks from all the Nine West ankle boots, which ones would you pick?

Introducing the AW12 Louise Roe Collection at Stylistpick

A little thrill ran through me just now when I saw I had an email about the new Louise Roe collection at Stylistpick! I loved her last collection so I was only too excited to see what gorgeously glamorous pieces she had come up with this time. It's interesting to see that she has introduced some flat shoes now, and perfectly chic they are too!

I was going to select my favourite pieces and tell you a bit about them, but there are only ten pieces and they're all amazing so I'll just have to feature them all! And since the whole idea behind Stylistpick is that stylists pick out the items and tell you how to wear them and what to pair with them, I think they could describe the pieces far better than I ever could (!), so I've just included their descriptions instead.

"The collection has an elegant, chic vibe, blending luxury and romance with an edge of androgyny. Think Diane Keaton in Annie Hall or Barbara Streisand in The Way We Were" says Louise

Louise Roe for Stylistpick Caroline shoe in Grey and Nude, both £45
‘The clean-cut silhouette and on-trend shiny toe cap are just so ladylike and elegant. I added the hint of rose gold for a warm autumnal feel’

Embrace winter pastels by wearing these with powder blue tweed capri pants and a fitted trench coat in a caramel hue.

Louise Roe for Stylistpick Chloe shoe in Snake and Mustard, both £45

‘Tab shoes are THE flat style of the season. Mustard gives it a retro, 70's vibe. I added stud embellishment to edge up the laidback loafer style too’

Chloe goes with everything from tapered jeans, a T-shirt and scruffy blazer at the weekend, to printed pyjama-inspired trousers at work and a pretty wrap dress on a dinner date. Super versatile!

Louise Roe for Stylistpick Tanya Clutch, £38, and Natasha Jewellery Set, £25
 ‘Named after one of my best and most stylish friends, this professional portfolio clutch will add a dose of high fashion to your workwear wardrobe. The snakeskin and studs add a high-fashion edge, while the size is practical enough to hold a laptop'

The perfect, finishing sparkle for any new season outfit is her new three-piece jewellery collection, comprising of gold bamboo-shaped bangles, a delicate, thin gold drop pendant and chunkier gold ring.

Louise Roe for Stylistpick Charlotte shoe in Olive and Chocolate, both £45
 ‘This shoe is perfect for day, combining a wearable wedge with a rich chocolate or neutral taupe hue – a fresh alternative to black or tan footwear'

Wear these with your most flattering blue jeans, paired with a loose bohemian aztec-printed cosy cardigan. Finish the outfit with a half moon bag and a floppy hat for a 70s inspired look.

Louise Roe for Stylistpick Juliette shoe in Orange and Nude, both £45
'Im obsessed with these patent heels. A colour-block sandal is a must-have in every girl’s wardrobe; you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. This platform will make any outfit pop!’

Pick out one of the colours and match it to one accessory in your look - your clutch, ring, collar. A leather a-line miniskirt with laser cut-out pattern looks amazing with these babies!
