It Is Easier To Protect Your Feet With Slippers Than Carpet The Whole Of The Earth

I'm not really a fan of the ballet pump. I think it's the obligatory bow that usually adorns said pumps that puts me off? I'm not adverse to a bow or two, just not on my toes thank you

Fortunately, I have found comfort in the "slipper"

 Last year I did my usual and bought two pairs from Topshop *yep, I jumped on the vectra bandwagon*, although I am still kicking myself for not getting the leopard pair. Although come to think of it, I do remember at the time wondering if leopard *and not even ponyskin leopard I might add* and studs were just a bit OTT on one pair of little slippers for my liking

Here are the black vectra's worn yesterday with jacket from River Island (here), long sleeved t-shirt from Gap and dot jeans from Topshop (both here)

The nude vectras will be busting out very soon...

Anyways, ever since I have been keeping an eye out for a plain *ponyskin* leopard slipper and lo and behold look who came up trumps...

Ostile Ballerina from Aldo

I have conveniently ignored the fact that Aldo call them a ballerina. They're currently on sale and in a variety of colours from wardrobe staple black to indulgent spangly silver. I managed to restrain myself and just order the leopard, that's progress right? And they are winging their way to me, so watch this space...

Are you a ballet pump fan or a fellow slipper lover?

Isabel Marant Jacket

Well who'd have known it, a cute *dare I say it in the same sentence* Marant stylie knitted jacket in Sainsburys?

Knitted Jacket from Sainsburys TU

Yep, last night I was doing my usual supermarket dash when I saw this little cutie hanging there, minding it's own business. No longer a label snob, with grown up bills to pay and all, I was hopeful that this little bargain beauty would fit the bill

 It feels a really nice weight, a cross between a knitted jacket and a heavy *but not chunky* knit. And I'm sure it wouldn't look out of place in any one of the usual high street heavies, albeit with a higher price tag

It's going to look super super cute over one of my slogan tee's and skinnies

As much as I love my French Connection coat (here) I am starting to need some colour in my life and this bright jacket fits the bill perfectly

Believe it or not I can see it being a really versatile little number

Lime Tweed Oversized Biker Jacket

I'll team it with tee's, blue or black skinnies and biker boots or trainers

Black Otto Holes Tee and White Otto Holes Tee from Zadig & Voltaire, White Big Love Tee from River Island, Biker Boots from Bertie, Trainers from Topshop

And notch it up a gear with studs, boucle, black coated skinnies and ankle boots *flash of ankle compulsory*
