If you like Winter Clothes, living in Malta and waiting for Winter to arrive can be an absolute pain, at least, we can console ourselves with wearing Winter Shoes - we can withstand our feet feeling a little warmer in the name of fashion right ? 

SO it's time to think about our Winter Shoe wardrobe and for a little bonus Caroline's Fashion Styling has teamed up with ALDO once again to offer you guys 30% off my top 5 picks in the store. 

For this season ALDO are focusing on their customers finding their #perfectpair - whatever perfect may mean to you - so let me explain my #perfectpair choices a little bit. I've given you a little variety.

We've got the wonderful PIEDIM that were actually featured in Project Runway - they're absolutely gorgeous, I confess I do have a soft spot for booties however much the man in my life tells me he hates them..but these ones I find a bit special - the leather is so soft and that detail around the edge *drool*. I find these shoes the #perfectpair to wear with a knee length skirt or a nice pair of jeans for a night out.

Then there's the AREWIA which I bought myself at the start of the season before this collab simply because I love sneaker wedges, silver metallic always looks cool and they caught my eye. They are the perfect shoes for running around in every day, I pair them with skinny jeans, skirts, dresses - everything.

NONELLA interest me because they're navy blue and you just don't see a lot of riding boots in navy blue. These look great with skinny jeans or again a dress, especially a slightly bohemian one and a fedora hat.

And then there's BRICIEN, and now I falter simply because I'm not quite sure what to say, these little dainty / coloured / patterned / multi-textured / sexy / perfect shoes are quite frankly love at first sight. Can one walk in them ? Honestly..who the hell cares they're the perfect date night shoes. 

And now for the men....my choice EXIR was based on different reasoning here - these shoes are perfect simply because - there's no need to tie your laces - they're simply slip on - perfectly lazy shoes.

Shopping Post : Ecco at King Shoe Shop

 By: Unknown    02:56  No comments

This week's instalment of Caroline visits a shop and shows you what's in stock is King Shoe Shop in San Gwann, which some people refer to as Ecco. Ecco as a brand has always been synonymous with comfort and quality, few people have worn their shoes without exclaiming over the extreme comfort, even after extended periods of wear. I own a few pairs of Ecco shoes myself and I have to concur and say that the comfort is phenomenal...the shock absorption, arch support and supple leather make walking a lovely affair. 

I'm not so sure however, that they are generally as renowned for fashion and style, whilst their styles are always pleasant, they are really quite 'safe' and not ground breaking. This year however they seem to have pushed up the style factor a few notches and come out with some cool stuff and some lovely bright colours. I love espadrilles, I've often mentioned this, so if you follow me you probably already know..and one of my favourite things about them is that they can be worn with the back folded....now Ecco have come out with this leather espadrille-like foldable flat shoe that is adorable! 

I really want the yellow ones..can just see them worn with a cute pair of little denim shorts and a loose white top and of course sunny sunny weather...*wishlist addition*

Their trainers also really impressed me, I've said this before but I have to say it again...trainers are really popular this season and these leather ones with bright coloured laces are perfect for wearing with cropped jeans, printed leggings, and even dresses.

And then we have their handbags...being a handbag lover it surprised me to realise that I have never given much attention to the Ecco handbags, always keeping my focus on the shoes but the handbags are quite lovely indeed...and the leather is so soft and supple ..really, really beautiful leather...and they're got some lovely bright coloured ones too!

And now to pay some attention to the menfolk too, thereare some great trainers here again and some styles that are a style cross between shoes and trainers - love them!

This is a great alternative to the standard hand luggage

And now for the best part there is currently an offer on vouchercloud.com.mt whereby you can get 15% off the new collection and 20% off on handbags!

Happy Shopping!!
