If you make one purchase this month, choose these fab River Island boots

Leopard-print, pointed toe, River Island boots of dreams.

There's no denying that leopard print is one of the biggest trends of autumn-winter 2018 and there are so many options to choose from. There are midi-skirts (ASOS, Penneys), belted dresses (Zara) and knits (Marks & Spencer) but it's these leopard print boots that have really taken our fancy. They're €87 which isn't exactly cheap but these boots are unbelievably gorgeous and we need them in our lives. Imagine all the ways you could style them and there is something seriously chic about pointed-toe ankle boots (my round toe styles have been pushed to the back of the closet). We love the way they've been paired with cropped jeans here but there's so much more you could wear with them - black dresses, clashing prints, midi skirt and t-shirt, smart blazer. ADORE. Oh and if you want to splash out on a second purchase and why not, make it this seriously flattering maxi-length shirt dress. What I love most about the Brown Spot Print Shirt Maxi Dress (€60) is the fact that it looks just as good with runners as it does with boots. Try ankle boots but knee-high or calf-length styles would be equally gorgeous and if you wanted to dress it up further, you could definitely add a pair of barely-there sandals.
