I first saw these lovely, glitter ankle boots from Barney's but cannot justify the ridiculous price. II have seen online a few fashion bloggers DIYing them and I saw some projects that actually worked. However, the boots that the projects started with were already expensive to begin with. The most common one seem to be the Sam Edelman Putty boot. I did a few searches and didn't find a suitable boot that I can try to DIY. I wanted it to be genuine leather which was a challenge in itself.
And lo, behold what I found in the Next website.
The exact pair I was looking for! I don't usually buy boots full price and always buy from TK Maxx or during the sale, but at £68, these babies were a steal! I did balk a bit when I got them, thinking they might look to glam or too bling for wearing during the day, especially on the school run. But after a bit of eerming and aah-ing, I gave in and decided to keep them. I mean, look how pretty??!!!! The lovely olive green exterior is real leather and feels quite solid. The chunky heel is high enough to give you a bit of height but is still very comfortable. The sparkles are great but I did notice they do shed. I am getting some super strong clear glue to layer over the sparkles to hopefully, keep them sparkly for longer!
Overall, I am happy with these babies and can't wait to try them on different looks this autumn and winter.
