The Clarks Winter Sale- Boots, Brogues and More.

One of my go-to places for footwear, particularly brogues and boots is Clarks and they are currently in the final few days of the winter sale and there are some excellent reductions.

My lovely man surprised me at Christmas with the Hamble Oak brogues in peach combi, taking my total to three pairs.
I have them in tan leather and burgundy leather (from a few years ago) and I wear them over and over.
The peachy pink ones are divine and I’m so looking forward to wearing them in spring. They’re current season so aren’t in the sale, but two other colourways are reduced by at least a half.

The dark pewter metallic are reduced to half price…

…And the black and white colorway is less than half price at £24 from £60.

Other shoes that caught my eye include these simple black court shoes

Always Bright £70 £35

And these animal print block-heeled shoes (this heel shape will continue to be on trend throughout spring and summer so would be a good investment).

Aldwych Maze, £45 £22.50

I’ve been looking online for some warm, practical waterproof boots for when I watch my son play football. I often wear wellies but find that they’re just not warm enough.

I was quite excited to see these, available in grey and black and significantly reduced. After much debate I ordered the black pair to be delivered into store.

Muckers Shale £105 £42

I wish I had opted for the grey which has a duck-egg blue trim because the black ones have a purple trim which, though perfectly obvious now, I hadn’t noticed when placing the order. They ticked the warm, comfortable and practical boxes but the colour combo just wasn’t for me.
I’m undecided whether or not to re-order in the grey.

All was not lost though because when collecting my order, I spotted these casual leather boots (high-tops? trainers?) I couldn’t resist trying them and once they were on, given that it was sleeting outside, I didn’t want to take them off, so cosy were they.
They aren’t suitable for standing on a freezing cold muddy sideline, but they will be perfect worn with jeans for casual days and walks once the weather is drier.

There are boots a plenty in the sale, in all styles and colours but it was these leopard print boots that I could not and did not resist so ordered these into store too.
They are perfect and I plan to wear them tomorrow for my dad’s birthday lunch.

Chinaberry Bay in leopard print have a patent black block heel, are tactile and will work with both dresses and jeans.

I’m hoping the weather will be dry enough tomorrow to take a few outfit photos outdoors so that I can show you what I’ve decided to wear them with.

In the meantime, I’m going to bake the birthday cake and set the table ready for tomorrow.

Have a lovely evening,

Love Liz x

      Thank you so much Juanita. I would definitely recommend the Maribel boots and would say they are true to size. I wear size 7 always in Clarks. They're really cosy and warm but lightweight too xxx

~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~ Yesterday, @benjaminoptici ~ Specs by Prue 👓 ~
Yesterday, @benjaminopticians, we had an open day to celebrate the practice’s 70th birthday. I was delighted to be sharijg the full collection of @specs_by_prue courtesy of @mac_eyewear_uk_ireland. It is a stunning, vibrant collection which is very wearable, very comfortable and beautifully fabricated. I always encourage patients to try something out of their comfort zone and it’s amazing how many will fall in love with a style they wouldn’t have gravitated to. 
I’m wearing model 22012 in colourway 3, tortoiseshell and aqua (with my prescription lenses in). Swipe to see it in detail and in other colourways.

I mentioned on my blog that I was stalking the matching trousers to this fabulous @me_andem jacket. My tenacity paid off and they came back into stock in my size so I duly snapped them up. And..they’re fab. I can’t wait to wear them both as a suit and as separates.

Ian and I went into Leeds for dinner last night to a fab restaurant (I’ll share photos later because the food was excellent). It’s our wedding anniversary on Monday so this was our celebration. I only got the jacket a few days ago and I absolutely love it. I’m going to wear it again later for a lunch date with Poppy. I’ll put all outfit details on my blog later on if I get the chance 🩷.

I “rediscovered” this @boden_clothing citrus-yellow necklace a few weeks ago when I was sorting through my boxes of costume jewellery. It reminds me of my early blogging days when a Breton top with a statement necklace were my school-run staples. Hard to believe that was a decade ago. 
Anyway, I’m glad I found it because I still love it 🍋.

~Wedding dress-up~
I loved playing wedding dress-up for @stepper.eyewear. Not every bride wants to wear contact lenses so we chose some beautiful styles that would make the perfect wedding eyewear. Remember that there is a choice of European, Asian and African fits too to suit different facial characteristics for #theperfectfit. All details on the STEPPER Eyewear website and on my blog. Links to both are 👆🏻.
This is model SI-30192👰🏼 
(The stained glass is in our hall @built_in_1873 by the way. This was one of the original features that stole our hearts when we viewed the house).
