Add some colour to your feet

Source

Spring 2011 is all about colour blocking and citrus brights. But if you're like me and like your wardrobe an "explosion" of neutrals rather than colours, there is a way to incorporate this trend into your looks without compromising your favourites. Add some colour to your feet:

For April (or February or March!) showers, brighten your day with a pair of lemon-hued wellies:

Fashion Fairy Godmother

Sometimes events occur that make you believe there is a fashion fairy godmother watching over you. Take this one:

A few weeks or so ago, I spotted these très chic A.P.C. bottines over at Dead Fleurette.

Then, just days later, I spotted a pair of equally (or a little less, but still nonetheless) chic tan leather bottines in Oasis with a price tag that made resistance futile:

These are all that my feet have wanted to wear ever since space was made on my shoe rack for these beauties. What do you think? Aren't they prefect for the winter-to-spring transition?

I had been musing over my next Fashion Mags vs Fashion Blogs post for a little while, as I didn't want to just write for the sake of it. I knew eventually something would happen to inspire me. And so it has:

Qasimi FW2011

La colección de otoño invierno de Qasimi presentada en Paris en días pasados, nos lleva a un viaje futurístico sin precedentes. Personalmente me fascinó esta colección sobre muchas de las colecciones presentadas de las grandes maisons de la moda francesa. El heroe de Qasimi toma el confort como su máxima arma, mezclando influencias de Ciencia Ficción, Tribal, prendas de vestir bastante funcionales y formas particularmente aventureras.
