Hey ladies!
Caprice is on the prowl for some boots! :clap:
I know boots and shoes are a ladies best friend so I thought I'd get you involved too :P

My requirements are:
They must be versatile, ie to go with brown/earthy outfits, aswell as black and pink outfits...
They must have a heel... I'm not particulary small at 5ft6, but heels allow me to walk tall :P
Max of £100 to spend :)

Come on ladies, go get 'em!


Ps - NOT prossie boots lol!

Have you looked at the Schuh website?

I'm not going looking, coz I suspect we have different tastes ;)
Brown? :gag:

I've been on the Faith website... A few possibilities but nothing that jumps out at me...

I'm thinking more of a black pair... Classy, sophisticated, Not slutty lol

:roll: what exactly are boots that aren't 'slutty' or 'prossie', Caprice? You do seem to have a thing about this :suspect:

Looks like
these (http://www.countrysidefoundation.org.uk/HowtoHelp/giving_welly.htm) may be your best bet then :D

Lol he plays pop if I so much as look at a pair of wedge heels... I happen to think those ones in particular are quite nice... But he likes stiletto heels on me... Could do with something with a bit more heel on them, I usually end up stuck in a grate or going flying in stilettos lol!

I could just buy em and surprise him... If he noticed, that'd be one thing... I doubt he'd complain about them cos I'd be wearing a skirt with said boots and he defo wouldn't want me to put the legs away lol!

I tried to like them, I really did but I just can't love them, they just don't register in my (obviously screwed up) mind, as pretty

I'm probably going out to Meadowhell on Thursday, so I'll keep a look-out for black boots with stiletto heels for you, Caprice. (And for myself! :D )

Zara and Hobbs usually stock some beautiful footwear, so they're good places to try?

I brought my black stilletto boots in Jones the Bootmaker... they're a bit like this (http://www.jonesbootmaker.com/ebusiness1/store/product_details.jsp?pid=13587&cid=97&red=search_results.jsp?cmbCategory=97,dspimg=YES,t xtSearch=,txtSearchNameSKU=,txtVariationSearch=,cm bPriceStart=-1,cmbPriceEnd=-1,cmbManufacturer=-1,page=3,) pair, but with a slightly different finish. I've had them ages now and they're still gorgeous :D
