Last week I got an email from StylistPick asking me if I’d like to take part in their ‘7 Days with Stylistpick’ challenge. I’m never one to back down from a challenge, so of course I accepted! My task is to wear one pair of shoes for 7 days & document each outfit with photos & a mini video diary.

I decided to choose the beautiful ‘Eleonora’ boots. Yes, I’m predictable, they’re chunky black boots & I know I could have chosen something a bit more ‘exciting’ but I fell in love & had to have them! The shape is perfection & one of my favourite ways to keep an all black outfit interesting is by mixing textures, so the fuzzy velvet covering them is perfect for this (I can’t stop stroking them either!)

I’ve been getting a little obsessed with coats recently, even though I’m not much of a coat person, I usually prefer to just layer up knits & jackets once it gets cold. I blame walking past the AllSaints windows, I want every single coat on display! I must resist though, I’m trying to save up for the Margiela x H&M collaboration.

In an attempt to stop myself pining for an AllSaints coat I decided to dig out my old Topshop one, I’ve had this coat for about 5 years now & it is still the only winter coat I own. I think you can never go wrong with a trench coat though, it’s such a versatile & classic piece, and one in thick, heavy wool is just perfect for winter & so cosy too. Wearing it undone gives a casual, slouchy look & buttoned all the way to the top it has a military kind of smartness to it, I really love hard working pieces like this that can achieve so many different looks depending on how they’re worn. To be honest, I had forgotten how nice it is, maybe I don’t need a new one after all…

    I never heard of Stylistpick before but I’m loving the boots. They remind me of the Dolce Vita boots that I have in red. O you are easily going to rock this challenge. You picked the perfect pair of transitional boots. They def. can work in a lot of different looks. I’m totally obsessed with jackets and coats. As soon as it becomes coat season all I want are new ones lol I don’t know what it is about them

    You HAD to pick these shoes, they’re so you! I think they’re really lovely, I’m obsessed with velvet shoes. I love how chunky they are too, they look quite comfy even though they’re high. And your coat is gorgeous too, such a good buy.

    Ahhh I’m so depressed about the MMM x H&M collab, I think it’s all so gorgeous but I don’t think there’s anything I could pull off :'( you so could though can’t wait to see what you get if you buy anything! xxx

    I’ve recently gotten obsessed with the idea of owning an All Saints coat. I just don’t know if I can give up $400 for one. Are they really worth it?

    Wow, that’ impressive that being the only winter coat, it looks great! I love the denim, such an excellent all back outfit! I’m also saving for the MMM x HM collab. Have a great week. :)

    Trench coats really are a classic–wouldn’t have guessed your coat is already five years old! I like how it’s slightly oversized and worn unbuttoned it gives such a relaxed, cool vibe.

    Oh my word those boots are literally the shoe boots I’ve been looking for all my life haha! I love plain, black accessories and shoes – easy to wear that way, and you hair is so beautiful as ever!

    Those boots definitely have your name written all over them! You are both made for each other hehehe. Seriously love the coat, it looks like a dream and I am soooo bloody envious of the MMM for H&M collab since I can’t get my hot little hands on anything on this side of the world… *sigh* Have fun shopping and can not wait to see what you get!

    Obsessing over your look! Gorgeous!
    I try hard to stay away from all black (long story) but sheesh I love it! Combining all these textures makes the details pop when the would normally get lost…sigh…

      I couldn’t agree more! It would be brilliant if we could collaborate on something one day! I want to travel a lot more in 2013, so who knows, maybe I might end up close enough that we could hang out! :)
