Fantastic Footwear: Groove Cognac Force Boots from Hot Topic

Hot Topic is an American website that stocks current, music-inspired trends.  They are really good for rock and band merchandise, but they also stock items relating to comics, cult films and cartoons, so it's easy to find something fun and unique.  They are currently offering 25% off everything so it's definitely worth a look at what they've got!

I've always been partial to a pair of military style boots and I love these lace up Groove Cognac ones. One can style military boots in so many ways - pair with a floaty dress to add an edge to a feminine look or simply wear with jeans.  The nineties grunge look is still going strong, so these would be perfect for recreating that era!  Originally $46.50, with the discount they are only $34.88 (about £22) and come in US sizes 5 to 10 - so UK 2 1/2 to 7 1/2 ish.

The only problem is that shipping isn't cheap - around £35 from what I can tell, but if one is buying a lot, it may be worth it for cool items that can't be found elsewhere!

Fantastic Footwear: Deena & Ozzy Ellie Flatform Sandals from Urban Outfitters

So, if you cross a flat with a wedge, what do you get?  You get a flatform!  Originally seen in the 90's (think Spice Girls), they have returned this season.  They are perfect for those individuals who are after a bit of height but would prefer to avoid heels!

I really like these Deena and Ozzy Ellie flatform sandals in neon yellow and tan, which are available at Urban Outfitters. They aren't too high so will be easy to walk in and the pop of yellow embraces the neon trend too.  The ankle strap means they will fit well on the foot and be practical and comfortable to wear.  These sandals are very casual, so I'd wear them with denim cut-offs or a fun, flippy summer skirt.

Until 22nd May, the discount code TOP20 can be used with these sandals, so instead of being £28, they are just £22.40.  In addition, from today, Urban Outfitters are charging just £1 for standard delivery with no minimum spend so definitely a bargain!
