Military Tones

First up, massive apologies for being such a shamefully dismal blogger this past week. In my defence, technology has seriously been hiding the love from me since returning to uni. Over the summer my laptop appeared to be on its last legs and has since resolutely refused to connect to the uni network, hence I've not been blogging. It's weird how out of the fashion loop you feel when you haven't blogged for a while, or surfed the net. I've barely come to grips with NYFW let alone London and Milan. Fingers crossed I'll be up to date with Paris - my favourite second to London. In the absence of the internet I've returned to my old school Vogue's and ELLE's, which have instilled some inspiration for upcoming blog posts.

On top of the lack of internet, I've had no mobile either. My BlackBerry decided it didn't want to receive signal for the past week and has randomly decided to work again today. A week with no internet or mobile has left me feeling pretty stranded, and made me realise just how much I rely on these things. Thank God I took my tv to uni is all I can say. The Inbetweeners and X Factor have kept me entertained when I haven't been able to be contacted/contact friends, or even order a taxi to get anywhere!

For a healthy introduction back into my blog I've gone for what is becoming a Dressing Miss Dolly modern classic. Any readers will know about my long term obsession with Jeffrey Campbell's 'Lita' boots, which I have still not managed to acquire. More and more colours keep being brought out as well, just to make me feel worse I am sure.

I am lusting after anything and everything in khaki and berry tones. They just exude autumnal comfort to me, so it's no surprise I love the latest Litas.

What shows have been your favourites so far? Share the best and worst with me, because I'm completely clueless at the moment.

Not too long ago I did a brief little post featuring some butter-yellow Charles Anastase 'dungeon' boots. I've blogged quite a bit about Jeffrey Campbell's shoes too, including the 'Litas'. Now a slice of perfection has come about because the Lita is now available in mustard yellow. It's not quite the same delicious pastel shade, but it's still pretty good.

Inspired By

You know I have more than what could be called a healthy obsession with those good old Acne 'Atacomas'. I'm also finding a large proportion of my heart is falling for the creations of Jeffrey Campbell. Although many of his shoes are 'inspired by' bigger brand styles, and are essentially more affordable replicas, it's the fact that they're affordable which makes the brand very appealing to me. Along with his 'Alexas', I also fell for the Charles Anastase 'Dungeon' boot-alike (the Lita). However, scouring through some online stores this morning, I was suprised to see that Aldo has come up with some similiar versions of shoes I've been lusting after.

There's something about the style that doesn't quite work for me, but I'd love to see them on to get an idea of how they'd look. I'd still much rather the JC ivory styles or the orginal Acne's. 

I also stumbled across these, which reminded me of some beauties at Free People.

For only £85 I'm pretty tempted. What do you think? Do you go in for 'inspired' pieces or are you originals only?
