(this was supposed to go up yesterday so I suppose this is now a 'Statement Monday')
Starting a little new series, more fashion orientated, well, completely fashion based actually that will go up most Sundays (hopefully!). I'll probably write them on the Saturday and schedule for Sunday morning or something :D They will be based around statement items, mostly, that I've seen bloggles/vloggers wearing in the past week/recently.

So... today's 'Statement' is the Lace-Up Flat Shoe. I think I first saw Mary Elizabeth (https://www.youtube.com/user/FabulousonaBudget) wearing these about a month-ish ago and OMGoodness, they are beaa-ooo-tiful. Her are navy blue pumps from Aldo, so pretty pricey at £70 but if you have the money then seriously invest in them!! On her favourites video, she said the only down side was that the laces slip down occasionally but tbh, I think most people can cope with that.
Making them all the more amazing, the heel has a 'hologram, rose-gold part' on them which balances the dark blue of the rest of the shoe and matches the gold details on the ends of the laces.

The next person I saw wearing this style of shoe was blogger, Carrie Harwood, from wishwishwish.net
She has two pairs of gorgeous lace-ups,
Her brown sandals are from Mango and the black pumps are from Next (I'll try to link all shoes at the bottom)
The sandals are less like the shoes Mary Elizabeth has and are more gladiator style but are still just as lovely (and at a way more affordable price of £19.99! may have to get myself a pair...).
The black pair are perfect for wearing with cropped/ rolled-up jeans, like she has here, with a black dress on a night out or a long floaty skirt to give them a boho look.

And finally, spotted on the River Island Style Studio instagram page. Strictly speaking these aren't flats, in the slightest but they are very much laced up. Again, these have the gold detail on the end of the lace, seems to be a popular theme here. Personally, I prefer the black pair, or OooOOooo if they did them in white... (Also, River Island, I'm not liking the orange sofa...) |
Soo that's all for today, sorry this has been delayed, had issues and courseowrk to complete (allll done now though!!!)
I'll put all the link that I can find underneath here
