Boots - Isidro Ankle Boots c/o Aldo
Having spent most of the past month obsessing over both silver footwear, as well as utility-style hiking boots, these Isidro Ankle Boots c/o Aldo combined the two styles brilliantly. There are so many styles that can be crossed over, particularly sock boots and over the knee styles. But what else is trending right now? Designer Vs. High Street - let's go!

I doubt silver finds its way very often into any of our wardrobes, but with metallic footwear now appearing everywhere you turn, it's hard not to fall in love with the trend! If you have a soft spot for utility-style footwear, but need more sparkle than hiking boots can offer (more on that later), silver lace-up ankle boots are your thing. For sure. Invest in Louis Vuitton's Spaceship Ankle Boots, or get the look for less with Aldo's Isidro Ankle Boots.

Not for the faint-hearted! Red boots are sexy enough, but patent? Steamy. Play it right and you'll look as though you stepped off the runway, play it wrong and you'll be asked how much for half an hour. If you're really looking to raise some eyebrows, give thigh-high red patent boots a go; splurge on the Fendi Rockoco ribbed-knit boots, or save with River island's OTK version.

Ever Since Saint Laurent Niki 105 Boots were revealed, slouchy knee-high and OTK boots have been popping up left, right and centre. Honestly? I'm not a fan of the extreme slouch. However, if you love the look and are ready to make a statement then you're in luck, because there are tons of options around (inc. Topshop Boxer High Leg Boots) - and ahem, without the ridiculous price tag...

I'm convinced now we're all magpies at heart, because as soon as the festive season kicks in we all go crazy for embellishment, right?! With this in mind, embellished footwear is the way to go. If you prefer a rounded toe and block heel, try these cosmic beauties. Alternatively, if you're window shopping with your Christmas list in mind, add these Giuseppe Zanotte Glittered Sock Boots to your wishlist (also come in silver with oversized bows - SO cute).

Love, love, LOVE. Marketed as the season's 'most badass' footwear, hiking boots are probably the most comfortable trend we'll be coming across for a while (okay, besides teddy coats). Dressed up or dressed down, they work. Speaking of which, you could hit two trends with one style by opting for silver footwear, such as the lace-up Aldo platform boots shown above. The trick is to lean towards utility-style, with emphasis on the style - or else end up looking as though you're on your way to climb Jungfrau. Splurge on these Jimmy Choo Shearling-trimmed boots (serious daydreaming material), or save with high street alternatives such as the below Dune Perrinn Suede Hiking Boots.

So, there we have it! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this look, as well as the above five trends. At some point or another, we've most likely all splurged on footwear. But for argument's sake, do any of the above designer or high street boots stand out to you?!
With love,

Lovely outfit. Your coat is the cutest! Oh wow, Aldo did an amazing job with the LV dupe!! The boots look really cool :D

How can I say no to silver space-looking booties?? Love all of them! I’m gonna have to go with the LVs since they have that added “space” factor but really, any silver boots & I’m in love!

Neither silver nor patent will make their way into my wardrobe, but I do own some hiking boots. True ones, not cute furry ones, so I guess they don´t count either?

I am all about crazy boots this season! Your metallic ones are just gorgeous. You are rocking them with your cold weather look, Gabrielle! I have been obsessed with pointy toed white booties because why not?!
ReplyDeletexx www.qustomquinns.com/blog
To be honest from the selection of boots you showed I like more the ones from Aldo,River Island, Dune London then the brand ones. I am always tempted to go to brand items because I would rather pay a good price and have something good quality that will last but this year I got a surprise . I payed lots of money for a pair of Yves Laurent and wore them once and the heel broke. Of course I got them exchanged but I did not expected that from a pair of brand shoes.

Looking like such a stunning space babe in those silver metallic beauties gorgeous Gabrielle, they are the dreamiest boots I've EVER seen and are totally made for your magical self. I love the idea of silver boots for eternity and you're looking like such a winter wonderland in your textured jacket and beanie. Too gorge! These trends are all so eye-catchingly beaut for the season ahead, I'm heart-eyed for the red patent boots and the slouchy knee highs are are giving me life too. All the autumnal amazing beaut babe <3

Your boots are absolutely gorgeous. I ordering similar pair of boots few days ago and can't wait to get them.
ReplyDeleteNina's Style Blog
Oooh, this is fun! I have so many opinions. The silver boots are a draw. The ALDO brand photo looks a bit dull, but they look just as fun and shiny as the LV pair in your own photos. Okay wait, let's save some time. They're all a draw. You're really good at finding dupes! Which is terrible for my bank account!
ReplyDeleteYour outfit here is fantastic. I love the texture and layers. You're doing this so right lady!

I'm so into textures too in this period! But here the weather is still too warm to experiment, so for now I'm just buying and collecting inspirations!
ReplyDeleteI loooove silver shoes, and your boots totally rock, Gabrielle! More the contrast with white, fluffy jacket is so whimsical!
You look great, dear, as usual!

Love the outfit you're wearing - gorgeous! I love wearing boots in Autumn and Winter. I think so many of these are really good dupes for the designer versions. I sometimes like spending extra money on boots that I'm going to get great wear out of, but I would never spend hundreds on a pair x

Not sure how I feel about this, maybe if I'm 15 years younger then I will give it a try but at my age now, hell no. LOL!

Dude this outfit is actually gorgeous, and I'm so in love with those boots. I love metallic tones, and these really draw in your attention. I adore all of these boots, and agree that they're one of the biggest things to change as the weather does. Like I have a pair of sturdy black boots I switched to a couple weeks ago, and they're so much nicer and warmer than trainers. Also, I adore jacket, I used to own one similar and these photos are making me nostalgic for my old jacket lmao.

Great picks. I did a double take on the silver boots. I've been wishing them on my hubby for a while now and dropping hints all over the place. haha. As for slouchy boots I'm not a fan either but it could work. All in all excellent picks
ReplyDeleteYour boots are the perfect combination of edgy, chic and futuristic Gabrielle! Definitely a great dupe for that LV pair. Autumn is boot season for sure :)

Fantastic selection of styles! Shoes are the perfect piece to make a statement with, and what makes a better statement than metallic boots or an embellished bootie?!

I am more into investment pieces when it comes to shoes or boots. But if you can find a dupe that is of good quality too, it's fine with me too!

These silver boots are so unique Gabrielle, I love the quirky style and you don't often see silver too often when it comes to footwear, so it's really nice to see something different. They look fantastic on you teamed with your Winter clothing, really beautifully styled.
ReplyDeleteI do love the other boots you've suggested, the red ones caught my eye!
Great post and you look beautiful Gabrielle!
