This Seasons Most Coveted Over the Knee Boots!

 
Hello all, with New York fashion week coming to a close and London Fashion week in full swing I've been left with some serious shoe envy. It sent me running to the nearest store to get myself a pair of over the knee boots. With a huge range of colours and materials to choose from the OTKs are my style staple for the new season.

OFFICE notorious over the knee boots in black suede - £115

TOPSHOP control over the knee boots in olive (also come in black) - £125

NEW LOOK black over the knee point heeled boots - £44.99.

HOUSE OF FRASER Vince Camuto karita flat knee boots in dark brown (also come in black and black suede) - £165
FREE PEOPLE Joe lace up boots (Jeffrey Campbell for Free People) in light grey - £248 
FREE PEOPLE drifter mocc boots - £350.
NEXT stretch over the knee rider boots - £58
The best thing about over the knee boots? They never date, and you can wear them with almost anything. From jeans to mini skirts, shorts to maxis the OTK boot is super versatile and a must have. All the featured pictures below are from Free People with their genius tool for adding your own style pics.

6 Spring/Summer 2014 Trends

I can't tell you how excited I am about SS14. I always tend to get bored towards the end of the seasons and i'm ready to put away the chunky knit jumpers and pull out the cool linen and chiffon. As much as I love the neutral winter pallet of blacks, greys and browns, after 6 long months i'm hankering after the sugar sweet shades of spring.


So here are some of the top trends for the new season: 


1) Candy Land

Sweet shades of pistachio green, blush pink, lemon and lilac are colouring the runways for SS14. (All pictures Burberry spring/summer fashion show)


2) Coordinating Separates

This is a major trend for the spring/summer season, and it's super easy to wear. I have been lusting after Alexander Wang's new collection since I saw it on the runways, sadly my purse isn't so obliging.

3)Sporty

SS14 is offering a dose of athletic edge. This trend is all about wearing a cute sporty piece like a bomber jacket or trainers and combining it with your basic wardrobe for an effortlessly chic look. Think varsity meets classics!
Tommy Hilfiger 3) Sporty
Marc Jacobs 


4)Wide leg trousers

It's time to ditch those skinnys as SS14 brings in the slouchy wide leg pant (especially in white), which can look just as sexy when paired with a crop top, which are also a big trend for the season, or sheer blouse.

Mulberry
Michael Kors

5) Graphic Prints

Bold prints and patterns have been all over the runways. I especially love Diane Von Furstenburg's take on the trend.

6) Bling it on

SS14 is all about embellishment, beaded, bedazzled pieces add some glamour!

Tory Burch

Hope you enjoyed my taster for the new seasons collections, sadly most of us can't afford the designer price tags, so in the next blog i'll be showing you how to get the look for less.

See you all soon, K.J. X
