Lets start from the bottom up, shall we?

SHOES! Heels, flats, pumps, points, boots! whatever you want baby girl! a trend that would be detrimental for us to miss right now however is the over the knee lace up boots and gladiator sandals. Praise the lord, shoes that have so much sass that all you need is these on and nothing else! if you do choose to go nude, let me know cause I’m extremely happy to advocate for you haha! no but really though this trend is so flattering on everyone! whether your legs are thicker or even if your feet are wider these heels will literally make any outfit look so on point and will take attention away from your feet! you won’t even need an outfit (see what i did there). The heels shown below are all from Missguided and are pretty inexpensive. I have purchased the black over the knee booties for myself and am so excited to style them! but what i love most about heels like this is that they are prominent in nude hues and black which compliment every and any outfit. Yes, it is important to have colour in your wardrobe but we all know a little nude goes a long way! especially if you’re like me and pair your outfits specifically around the shoes you have on. As these heels are a little higher, from what I’ve seen in the media they are generally paired with really short dresses but they would look amazing over a pair of ankle cropped skin tight jeans, the lower cut shoe which just hits the knee also works very well with mid length dresses and as it is Winter in Australia at the moment laser cut outs allow the sexiness of a sandal but the coverage of the leg which I think works well as so often do i see girls pairing the wrong shoes with dresses confusing me about what season they are dressing for

   

Moving on, anything lace up i love – as i think i have already mentioned, another majorly flattering design again comes to the laser cut out and lace but at a shorter length, shoes that hit above the ankle or mid calf are amazing with literally anything! with the higher cut shoes the styling is a bit more challenging however with the shorter cut shoe styling is made much more simple as the shoes do not overpower the outfit

Here I’ve styled my Windsor Smith Gillie heels with a coat, midi dress and tote and i feel as if the shoes really finished the outfit, lace up heels are such a feminine counterpart to an outfit and at this length they are very easy to style and suit almost everything

  

So, ladies, go out and grab yourselves a pair of lace up heels! i can promise you that an investment in a good quality pair of shoes will go a long way in any fashionistas closet. Getting a pair of shoes that tie together any outfit is essential especially if you’re like me and prefer to wear shades of nude and khaki. Accentuate those legs girls! pull those skirts up and tie your laces as high up your leg you can and STRUT!

Hello there!  

Since you and I have developed a relationship here how about I introduce myself? Well, my name is Eliza but when I talk in third person I refer to myself as Liza. I am a 21-year-old Afghan Australian who completed a degree I had no interest in – four years later I’ve graduated and feel like I can finally focus on what I love! Which is fashion of course! I’m based in Sydney and love to travel (you will see more of that throughout my blog!) I am a Barbie on a budget and also a human rights advocate and feel as if it’s my job to empower those around me. I wanted to start a domain that women could come to so that they could feel inspired, I personally don’t feel as if I fit into a body ‘shape’ category and don’t think I need to and I really think its integral that all women feel beautiful as you are what you wear and boo if you’re working your dress THEN you are working your dress! STRUT in those boots! FLIP your hair when you walk! And SWAY your hips in that skirt baby and also let everyone know that you don’t give a fuck what they think.

Have fun with it and don’t ever feel conscious or inferior when you look at other people or when they look at you! If you feel overdressed, screw it! Everyone else is underdressed and that’s not your problem, right? Haha! put on your heels ladies, put on that tight midi skirt, line those lips, put on your longest lashes and get on with your day!

Your style is your own domain…welcome to mine.

Love Liza xx
