More Cool Stuff From England

Even though New York Fashion Week has been going on all week, I'm only mildly aware of the Fall 2010 looks coming down the runway.  I may be fairly well apprised as to what will be "in" this Spring, but I don't start shopping for these trends quite yet.

Here, in New York, winter can easily last into mid April.  No point running out now to purchase some lovely pastel Spring top, or some adorable strappy heels. This is probably not a very "fashionable" thing to say,  but the truth is, I really prefer to shop within the season.

In fact, it's right about this time of year, that my winter wardrobe really needs a re-boot.

{pun intended}

And, that's where these adorable boots step in to save the day.  The same good friend that moved abroad to London, turned me onto to these amazing boots from Penelope Chilvers.  Perfect for winter in New York.  Nubuck leather, lined in shearling with Goodyear Commando rubber lug soles.  And, the best feature are those adorable tassels!

The perfect antidote to my mid winter fashion rut.
And the perfect boots to pair with "jeggings" and some long comfy cardigans.

There's loads of different boots on the Penelope Chilvers site,
but these are my favorites.

Speaking of bags...

The reason I'm obsessed with this Anya Hindmarch clutch
{other than the fact that it would go with everything}

is that it reminds me of this:

Something I have no problem shopping for, regardless of the season.
