Vivienne Westwood Melissa Boots

Now it's safe to say I'm becoming a bit of a VW fan!

Back in June I purchased a pair of the smoke Vivienne Westwood Melissa Cameo pumps from ASOS for the bargain price of £60.00 (when I found them, they were only available in my size which I took to be a sign of divine intervention and snapped them up right away) at the time they had some of the boots on sale too, the tassel ones and the studs, as it was summer (and as I'd just parted with £60) I didn't really take much notice.

Fast forward to the start of September and I suddenly remembered the boots and got it into my head that I just had to have a pair, however, when I went back to ASOS they only had the tassel version, which to be honest, I wasn't overly keen on. The bootie studs had 3 gold buttons brandishing the familiar Vivienne Westwood orb going down the boot vertically.

After much searching I found a pair of the bootie studs on a website called Catfish http://www.catfishwomen.com/ this wasn't a site that I'd come across before but they stocked a lot of other well known brands and they had the boots on sale for £46, so as with the pumps 3 months before I just had to have them and 3 days later they arrived ...

 

Originally it was the black pair I was after but this website only had these boots available in mustard or navy so I plumped for the navy ones assuming that I'd be able to get more wear out of a more neutral colour.

 

I'm actually quite pleased that I ended up with the navy ones, and I'm actually glad I got these over the black ones even though they were the ones that I was originally after.

Navy is also a big trend for Autumn/Winter 2012 so I know I will get my wear out of these!

 

For those of you who aren't familiar with the Vivienne Westwood/Melissa footwear range it's basically a collection of shoes made out of plastic, but the plastic is injected with a fragrance and the shoes smell absolutely gorgeous (imagine sweets and old school 2p bubbly's!)

 

Since I injured my foot last week these have been the only shoes I can get on while it's still bandaged up and they are unbelievably comfy so have been an absolute godsend, thanks very much Ms. Westwood.

 

When I purchased the boots I noticed that there are some flip flops available too, I may have to invest in a pair of these for next Summer ...
