Lotus Shoes, Let me share a shoe boot.

Morning everyone - How are you doing?

Today's blog comes from a very happy Mummabstylish.  Let me tell you why that is.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Lotus Shoes - yes me!  I was so, so pleased when they emailed me to ask if I'd like to write a gift post for them!  Would I? Let me think about this .... YES.

They suggested I look through their collection of shoe boots to pick out a few favourites and go from there.
Have you ever tried to narrow down your favourite from a collection that are all super cute and would look great on my feet and compliment my wardrobe?

Having bought a couple of items from Lotus footwear in the past I knew from the off they'd be perfect - and perfect they were.

I settled on these absolute darlings.




The gorgeous Lotus *Jacaranda floral ankle boot arrived in the box wrapped in crisp white paper, I fell for them straight away - knowing they would be worn and appreciated, and look super cute as well.  Once I put them on, well what can I say - they slipped on in the same way that Cinderella's glass slipper did.  The soft insole felt like I was walking on clouds of marshmallow, I don't know about you but I really struggle to get comfortable shoes that look on point - you can obviously see and hear that these were perfect and did both!  The Jacaranda floral shoe boot comes in three colour choices, navy, black or burgundy, but I knew navy was the one for me but for £59.99  I might be adding either of the other colours some time soon!





Isn't the pattern adorable - and the navy makes such a change from black.  The patent heel is a winner height-wise, not too flat, but not too high.  They fasten with an inside zip, making them quick and easy to put on - don't you just hate having to struggle to fasten boots up?






Taking full advantage of the weather on my morning visit to The Crescent Turner for morning tea and a nosey around.  This impressive location boasts stunning views across the estuary, a five minute drive to the sea front and some welcoming eateries including Wheelers that I mentioned in my previous post Here.
This occasion was definitely one that deserved a 'proper' shoot  (I say that very slightly tongue-in-cheek - because I'm not a model, lol) so I enlisted the help of my talented god-daughter Esther Ruby see previous blog posts here and here.




How do you like the matching bag?  Because me -  I'm over the moon with the #MyLotus *Arvida Tote Handbag that arrived along side the boots. 
It's just the right size for me, I like to throw everything in a bag and go, with this I'll look super stylish as I do!
Navy was one of the colours missing from my collection & this Arvida fits in so well. With handles long enough to pull onto your shoulder and a zipper across the top, everything stays safe inside.  It has three pockets, including a phone holder.  The half flower pattern makes this bag an eye-catching piece of arm candy and a striking addition to any handbag collection.
Why not check them out yourself, you're sure to find one or two you like!

I figured, for morning tea at this stylish boutique hotel, a bold patterned long line shirt over straight leg trousers, would look fabulous.  Both these items are from Matalan & they compliment the shoe boots and bag so well, I can't wait to wear this again. 
I love to hear your comments, which I so look forward to reading.

A very big 'shout out' to my beautiful and talented god-daughter Esther Ruby for producing some fantastic photographs - Thank you. X

Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are my own opinions and 100% honest.

  23. Purchasing a bow for shoes will add a little style to it. It can be added to a pair of shoes that is worn to the beach or a pair that people wear to any formal events that are attended. thestyleshoes.com

  24. On the off chance that it not, at that point you can turn to thoughts as specified above, to chop down expenses. designer shoes for women

  25. A shoe-lover or a cobbler can talk about a half-dozen parts of the shoe (or more), but for our purposes you only need to think about 3 parts: the sole, the outer shell and the inner shoe. http://lepanto.org/
