Thigh High Boots for the Curvy Girl

Winter after winter the curvy girl is on a mission to be able to find the hottest boots possible that have extra calf room. Now with the thigh high boots being in this presents even more of a problem. I have been on a search high and low to bring you guys the boots that will fit the calves and also be super hot for the super cold season. Here is what I found so far:


















Torrid's thigh high boot - $52
Pros - the only plus thigh high boot I've found so far, they are only $52, so if it ends up being a don't for you, you havent lost that much dough.
Cons - Not real leather and no where near as hot as other thigh
highs in regular size, but I do give them an E for effort
















JessicaLondon.com - $74.99

Pros - Cute boots nuff said, the ruching is a cute little detail



Cons - and this is my personal opinion, but the heels are only 2 inches high...Im a very high heel girl. And again, these are not real leather.

Promiscuous Vivacious- Wide Calf - $80

Pros - Real Suede outer, trendy (leopard is def. in this season), and they are different. Not your normal wide calf boot.

Cons - You may not like the leopard next year.

Patent Leather Anna Maria - $145
Pros - Thes are hot! Real leather and patent leather at that. Definitely an eyecatching pair. They also come in regular leather, but I think they are more dramatic in the patent.
Cons - Some may think they are pricey. But I always say boots are an investment shoe that you wear year after year.

You know the recession needs to get over itself when...

Frida Giannini is recycling shoe designs from last season.


Gucci S/S '09 - Gucci S/S '10.


I prefer last seasons as well.


It seems like a lot of last season's and this season's trend are being recycled. Just take one look at Dolce & Gabanna - Lace, Florals, Underwear as Outerwear, lace-up boots and romper suits. I'm not complaining about this, it will save me some pennies at least.

Sorry!

I tried uploading 117 images of Lula magazine to Photobucket and it froze at 61 after waiting approximately 2 hours. I've since been very busy travelling to Leeds, then Liverpool, then back to London.
I'll try uploading them somewhere else tonight.
Thanks for being patient! :)

Lula magazine Issue Nine - A/W '09

This is one very long, visual post dedicated to the beautiful new issue of Lula.
I am in love with the 'Everybody Knows that Baby's Got New Clothes' editorial. I think the model is Cintia Dicker but she isn't credited in the magazine.
Stunning.
Leith Clark, you are amazing.
Enjoy!




I know these images have come up relatively small. I'm currently uploading them all into a photobucket album and as soon as they're done I'll put the link straight on here. There are 117 photos so it's not a quick process.
Please credit me with my blog URL if you intend to use any of the images as I took them all myself, it took a lot longer than I anticipated. I will get a scanner one day.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Winter Wardrobe Plan

Here is a little mood board I made to help put all my ideas and bits and bobs together and see what gaps I should fill ready for winter.


Winter Wardrobe Mood Board
I already have two biker jackets, and these two skirts - splashes of colour are essential in the dull winter - and I have a pink chunky knit scarf as well as some flat suede thigh high boots from Office. I'm buying this coat this weekend (hello payday) so I'm getting there

-
I'm well into the winter spirit now and just want this random sun/rain weather to make up its mind or go away.

-
Also, I'm hoping to make a designer investment come Christmas - my only current designer item, besides cosmetics, is a Luella purse from a sample sale. Maybe a cute Marc or Chanel 'wear with anything' bangle?

-
This is a very self indulgent post I know, I'd just like opinions on my winter wardrobe plan...

Happy First Birthday

I have just realised - Fantastical Fashion is now one year old!




I have lots of image folders and drafts building up to ensure I don't slack with posting over the next year. Lazy blogging doesn't get you many followers.
Maybe I should celebrate with a trip to Hummingbird bakery? Mmm yes please!

In case you're a bit behind

please please watch this
Oh the pastels, oh the socks and shoes, oh the trenches, oh the draping, oh the ruched skinny trousers, oh the sparkles, oh the models, oh the front row...

It's strange how simple colours and simple hair and make-up can look so drop dead amazing.
Christopher Bailey is making London proud - please stay!
Lily Donaldson + Burberry also has to be the most perfect brand/model combination.


PS. I am aware that this is my second Burberry dedicated post in 24 hours. It's purely accidental, but totally deserved.

Pretty

Natalia Vodianova is so adorable. And I have to get hold of some of this amazing gold nail polish. I'm assuming it's Chanel?
