Ok, so I may not be writing about shoes this week. Temperatures are dropping as I write. Ice is making any steps a hazard, the air is humid and cold. Hardly the time for peep-toes and pretty stilettos, right? How about extravagant wedges? As sad as it may sound, I’m wearing more reasonable boots and rain-proof footwear. Glamour is disappearing from my feet and has to be placed elsewhere…cue the time for pretty brooches.
I love brooches, but I don’t have enough of them. They add sparkle, colour and originality to the greyest of jackets, and with thick winter coats I have to at least try vamping them up. So here you have a selection of pretty things I am coveting.
The first one is my favourite and I’m such a click away from buying it… It’s from Aspire Style and as a cameo is a gorgeous, not too discreet one, which makes us love it. Price £12.95 (€15)
Now, you may want to take the sparkle and craziness all the way and go for this one, tiger-tiger grrr!, from ASOS. With no delivery fees to worry about it’s a true bargain at £7 (€8.71)
If you rather take it down a notch a bit but still add a quirky detail to your lapel, then this one from Accessorize could work, and it’s also quite affordable at £9 (€10,5). It could make a lovely stocking filler, so watch out if you know me, it could end up in your hands 🙂
the cameo!!!! So glad they're coming back in style.

If you want warm winter boots with style try La Canadienne. The name indicates it might only be sold in Canada but I'm sure you could get them online.
