Booted up for winter

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey, I went for a walk on a winter's day...

If you were in certain parts of the U.K and the U.S over the past few weeks, chances are you've also encountered quite a bit of snow while out walking on a winter's day. And what a bone-chilling, treacherous walk it can be if your footwear is not designed to withstand these icy weather conditions.

Winter boots may not be the most elegant of footwear but when functionality plays an important role, unfortunately the level of chicness tends to go down. Luckily there are more options than 'total fashion monstrosity' available and the boots I've listed below guarantee you will step out with your style, budget and physical balance intact.

Guest Blogger Feature - '5 under $50 for Spring' by Couture Carrie

Since early 2008, ultra-fabulous fashion blogger, Couture Carrie has been thrilling us with her daily trend reports and abundant selections of inspirational photos from the runways as well as online retail stores. Now, here to help us get ready for Spring, CC has listed below her top five fashion picks under $50 for the season.



Thanks to Danz for being a blogging inspiration and inviting CC as the first Guest Star in this series of posts!

For Spring, darlings, CC suggests whimsy, color, retro glamour, and an adventurous spirit. Here are CC's five picks for fab fashions under $50:



1.


American Apparel Unisex Oversized See Thru T Shirt
Price: US$32.00


CC loves this versatile piece as a belted tunic, a swingy dress (just layer it over an AA tube dress, and be sure to roll up the sleeves to show off those shoulders), or as a chic beach cover-up. Get it in basic black or experiment with some of the 80s-throwback brights that designers are championing for Spring!


2.


Victoria's Secret Shadow Dot Bikini
Price: US$37.00


CC absolutely adores VS bikinis, and the price is right on this one; not to mention that polka dots are the ultimate in retro chic for Spring. Just witness all the fab dotted swimsuits at Michael Kors!


3.


Alexander McQueen for Target Tiger Print Shift Dress
Price: US$44.99


The pieces in McQueen's collection for Target are sure to be collector's items, and CC loves this one for its unique design - remember that patterned dresses are hot for Spring - and its flirty length. Accessorize with last year's gladiators or #5 below!


4.

Delia's Morgan Low-Rise Skinny Jean
Price: US$49.50


CC loves the acidwash and shredded denim trends, but how about something a little cheerier for the warmer weather? Coral and lemon yellow are big this season, and these skinnies are just so fun!

5.

Forever 21 Fringe Open Toe Boots
Price: US$34.80


Leave it to Forever 21 to knock off the season's hottest trends - the open toed bootie and the fringed sandal. This hybrid is the perfect transitional pair to take you from late winter through Spring. Show off those mile long legs by donning these booties with a micro mini or some of Spring's fabulous Alexander Wang-inspired rolled shorts!



Be sure to tune in to Couture Carrie beginning on Monday for CC's ABCs of Spring.

Grey's Desirability

As far as wardrobe staples go, I've covered both black and white. Now it's time to shine the fashion spotlight on the gorgeous shades of grey in between.

This moody neutral colour is far from dull this season as it's showing up in many shades on tons of trendy clothing styles.

Even though my love for grey may not be as extreme as this, I'm still craving a few grey items right now - specifically boots and bags - to add to my wardrobe.

Grey is powerful enough to stand on its own but I think it looks even better when it's paired with brighter colours like pink, purple or yellow.

Below are some chic grey clothing and accessories for your consideration.



Back Linen Dress
Price: US$34.00



Gray Drawstring Chain Tote
Price: US$36.99
(use code FFATTRACTION at checkout for 10% discount)



HAMAK Side Zip Jacket
Price: US$42.99




Grey Lurex Tier Cami
Price: UK £20.00 (US$34.66)



Cropped Capelet
Price: US$38.00



Pointelle Scarf
Price: US$10.80



ASOS Grey Stud Detail Skinny Jeans
Price: UK
£28.00 (US$48.60)

What I'm wearing - Sunny disposition

I don't really like doing outfit posts mainly because I have such a lousy camera that takes extremely lousy photos.

I decided to give it a try today and it took me about half an hour to get a proper photo of the outfit I'm wearing, ugh.

Regarding the outfit itself, I just felt like mixing it up today, combining the long wrap blouse and the yellow ruffle trim dress with the boots.


Believe it or not, I once hated the colour yellow, especially the very bright sunshine yellow like I'm wearing in the photo. Over time, I began to warm to the colour (no pun intended) and now I find myself liking more and more yellow clothing. I bought this cute yellow sundress a little while ago but this is the first time I'm wearing it.

Black cinch belt - unknown

Cool Vintage Finds - Go-go Mod

There are many kinds of clothes that I would like to wear but never get the chance to for various reasons. For one, living in Barbados limits the types of clothing I can wear drastically so that I don't end up being burnt alive. Also, I spend probably 99.5% of my time either at college or at home (what a sad existence...), so I don't really go anywhere very often to wear the good stuff, even if I had access to it. So I am pretty much convinced that even if you can't get great clothing, at least getting some amazing, unique accessories will help make your outfits stand out a lot more.

That's why I love clothing and accessories from the 60s! They are sooo cute and fun, they can inject a punch into any dull wardrobe. It was so hard to pick from all the great 60s accessories I found that I couldn't just feature one, so I picked three cool items you might be interested in.

Price:US$60.00

Size: 6 b
Width: 2 ¾"
Length: 9.5" outer toe to heel
Heel: 3"

Ship and Shore Pink and Yellow Psych Scarf
