Passing on traditions: New boots

lsykes October 23, 2014

So shiny, not a mark on them. And all that leather, suede or, for the extrovert, patent. Your little bitty strappy sandals are all very well but with a pair of boots there’s far more shoe to show-off and tell. New boots are reassuringly expensive. Guilt-free, too: Fashion maths dictates that boots x per wear = good value. Is it the knowledge you’ll soon be in so-cosy woolly tights again or the fact that you can wear them every day till March that sends us skipping to the shops? Ooh, and that big box to take them home in. Nice.

Shallow, us? This is a seasonal ritual to be undertaken alongside harvest festivals and leaf kicking – maybe not in your splendid new boots though.

 

Our favourite winter boots, clockwise from top left:

1. UGG Kensington 1969 boots, £120, John Lewis

2. Horrigan boots, £150, Hudson

3. Nautical knee boots, £98, Office

4. Chelsea boots, £120, Timberland

5. Peu boots, £155, Camper

6. Grace ii boots, £90, Red or Dead

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
