Get in touch with the continental in you

: A few looks don't receive the recognition they should. Half boots for instance, are all too often seen as slightly unassuming. This is simply no longer the case, with ankle boots breaking free of old conventions and aiming above all for fun and creativity. This is evident in little touches including fake fur trimming and faux leopard skin effects. Women's shoes on the whole are back in love with colour. Dazzling yellows get together with metallic blues and bubblegum pinks to spectacular effect. Dresses are maybe a little quieter in terms of colours, but balance that with delightful ruched effects and lace details.
