Jazzy Boots Perfect For The Festive Season

Hello lovelies, so the most festive month is upon us, ahh I'm so excited! Since last year I have been seeing lots of pretty dreamy looking boots in the shops and being worn by super stylish bloggers. If like me you're like Bambi on ice when you walk in heels, boots are a great alternative! With that in mind I decided I would share some of my favourite boots in the shops that I think would be perfect for all festivities. You may or may not notice that most of them look like they came from the 60's or the 70's but, hey they are my favourite decades for fashion! Oh yeah by the way this post will contain a lot of metallic colours! 

I have included boots under £100 to show that you can get pretty footwear with out spending a small fortune.
So, after all that chat here are my picks of festive boots

1. Sparkly Black Ankle Boots from Moda In Pelle Zola at Very - £54
If you want to add a bit of sparkle to your outfit but you don't want to go all out glittery these boots are perfect! They have a subtle bit of sparkle to them, they kind of remind me of a starry night.

2. Rose Gold Block Heel Boots at River Island - £25 
I love the colour of these boots so much! Can I please wear them forever?

3. Silver Block Heel Ankle Boots at River Island - £40 
Does anybody else think of the 70's when they see the silver heels? I think they would go well with a floaty dress or if you're feeling daring a pair of flares and a blouse.

4. Bronze Block Heel Boots from New Look - £29.99 
The bronze colour of these boots are perfect for Autumn and Winter! The Rose Gold boots from River Island would be too!

5. Silver Zip Front Boots from River Island - £25
I'm sure I've seen an image of Jean Shrimpton wearing some similar in the 60's and would look really nice with a shift dress! With it being slightly colder how about a nice shirt with a jumper over top tucked in to an A-line skirt (with tights of course)?

6. Gold Glitter Block Heel Ankle Boots from River Island - £40
Now these are all out glittery, they are 'it's all or nothing' boots!

7. Poppy Metallic Rose Gold Ankle Boots from Urban Outfitters - £85 
These rose gold are quite subtly metallic compared to the rose gold boots from River Island so, if you're not ready to go full on metallic

8. Faux Suede Star Boots from Miss Selfridges - £65 
Add a bit of glitter and sequins to your outfit with these boot with star details. I think they would look great with a pair of black skinny jeans and a leather jacket.


River Island are currently as people say 'killing it' at the moment with jazzy boots and fancy heels! So are the other shops I have found 

By the way this blog post is not sponsored by any of the shops featured in this post.

Getting to know you - What Olivia Did

I've luckily been able to ask my favourite blogger Olivia Purvis of whatoliviadid a few questions just before she headed off to New York Fashion Week (jealous? Me? Of course not, nooo). Her 60's esque style and love for baking makes for an enjoyable blog to read. If you've ever wondered how to create the Beehive hairstyle definitely pop over to her blog to find out how! 

I must start by asking if by any chance you got the name of your blog from the Libertines song 'What Katie Did'?
I did! I was obsessed with the song for such a long time, and remember loving seeing it live at Reading 2010, not long before starting my blog- so it has lots of happy memories attached with it too!


You're probably been asked this before but, what made you want to start blogging?
My best friend had been reading a couple of blogs herself, and introduced me to some which I still read to this day- I felt so inspired by everything that thought I'd give it a go myself, as it seemed to accessible and that anyone could do it. 

What is your favourite collaboration that you have been part of?
Each one has been so different, and offers something different to the last- I don't think I could narrow it down! Anything that allows me to travel is absolutely amazing though, as it's something I may not have the chance to do otherwise. 

Have you got a favourite collaboration that you've been part of?

I love your style, is there any body or anything that have influenced it?

So many- from people like my mum, to people such as Alexa Chung as Florence Welch. They have such amazing cool, sixties and sevens inspired looks which I love. I also love classic icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Jane Birkin and Francoise Hardy- they just knew how to work basics at such an amazing level, and always look so effortless.

Do you have either a fashion or beauty top tip, that you could share?

If in doubt always red lips and a striped top!

One possession that you couldn't live with out?
Don't make me pick! 

If you could have tea with anybody dead or alive, who would you choose?
Oh this is so tricky! I always say people like The Queen, or Kate Middleton- as I know it'd be so much fun to just sit with them and see what they're like. But saying that having tea with Audrey Hepburn would be incredible as she was such an inspirational lady- but the list could very much go on!

Talking about tea takes me nicely onto the topic of the Great British Bake Off...

Who is your favourite baker in the competition at the moment?

I love Kate's quirkiness, and think she's an amazing baker- but also love Richard and Norman- he definitely proves simple things can sometimes be best!

From reading your blog for quite a while now, it's hard not to notice that your quite the baker your self...

would you ever take part in the Great British Bake Off?

I'd absolutely love to- one day maybe, watch this space!

If so who would you wanted impress the most with your bake?

Probably Paul- but I know Mary knows a good sponge. Plus, I'd be a little nervous of Mel and Sue!

lastly, do you have any advice for beginner bloggers?

Just do it! I think there are so many rules set for new bloggers- so just find something that you love and are passionate about, and get going! Don't compare yourself to others- at the end of the day if you love it, other people will eventually!

Once again thank you so much for answering my questions, it was nice to find out more about you! I wish I could talk to you in person one day about all things 60's, fashions and cakes.
