Autumn boots

CF.com is by no means a fashion blog, but what with the rain whipping at the windows, a soothing butternut squash risotto on the stove and the advent of the Brora sale (nothing says ‘goodbye summer’ more than cashmere cardis), this afternoon my mind has begun to wander to thoughts of my autumn wardrobe. Namely the need for a good pair of ankle boots.

As this will be my first autumn a/ with baby in tow b/ in the country since I was a teen, my choice of footwear needs careful consideration. Yes, the mag editor in me yearns (impractically) for these Charlotte Olympia beauties:But in reality I need something that can handle chasing around after a tot (ergo flat), kicking piles of leaves (as is my want), a dog walk or two and still look stylish at the end of the day. Tall order?

I’m happy to invest in a good pair (probably £250, tops) as my general fashion ethos seems to be: ‘buy something ludicrously expensive and wear it till the seams come undone to justify spending a small fortune.’ On a cost-per-wear basis it’s the equivalent of shopping at Primark, just without the guilt-complex.

So, first stop: Toast. Whenever I think cosy autumn wardrobe, I think of their chambray shirt dresses, wolford tights and a cashmere boyfriend cardi.

I do love these but I’m not feeling the tan. I think a darker chestnut or black is in order. The hunt continues.

Next up I tracked down these glorified slippers (big thumbs up for motherly comfort) by Nicole Farhi, via Kurt Geiger.

Sigh. I’m just not sure the fluff/suede combo is robust enough for my size 9s and the considerable amount of off-roading they would face. These are definitely Westbourne Grove boots.

On my shopping travels I couldn’t help snapping up these Topshop bargains just because they do what they say on the tin: The Ultimate Chelsea Boot.

They remind me of my comfy, battered jodpur boots I used to wear for riding as a child. I hope they weather as well.

Then finally, there they were. The boots I had been looking for.

From Weekend by Maxmara (god love a diffusion range), at Matches. They’ll toughen up tea dresses nicely, keep my feet/legs dry thanks to that extra length and are the perfect not black/not tan that will go with everything. Result.

  • I'd also like to convey that most individuals who find themselves with no health insurance are typically students, self-employed and those that are out of work. More than half of those uninsured are under the age of Thirty five. They do not really feel they are in need of health insurance since they are young and healthy. Its income is typically spent on real estate, food, along with entertainment. Many people that do work either 100 % or not professional are not given insurance by means of their jobs so they go without with the rising price of health insurance in america. Thanks for the concepts you reveal through this web site.
