Wee find: Rae Jones boots

Wee find: Rae Jones boots

I couldn’t believe my eyes a couple of weeks ago – September 1 to be exact – when I walked down to my local café and stumbled upon the first conkers of the season. It’s like somebody orchestrated the Official Arrival of Autumn down to the exact placement of the shiny brown nuts on the footpath.

I do love the transitional seasons in England, but I can’t get away from the fact that Autumn means that I can finally slip my feet back into my beloved boots, and experiment with fancy hosiery (Eley Kishimoto’s AW09 geometric patterns are high on my wishlist this season).

One British shoe designer to watch this season is Rae Jones, whose second collection of four core styles – a range of flats, everyday mid-heels, an evening range of high heels and flat winter boots – is inspired by ‘40s designers Beth and Heubert Levine.

I particularly love the tan flat boots (see top), with its diamond pattern detail and folded-down top. Prices start at £160, and are available from Poste Mistress and Labour of Love. Keep an eye on her website, which should be transactional by the end of September.

I’m with you all the way re boots. I’m thinking of giving heels a wide berth they hurt your feet too much!

ooh, i hadn’t heard of Labour of Love before, so many pretty desirable things! The link to Rae Jones takes you to a rather odd place though doesn’t it? They need to get transactional (great word btw) immediately..

Those boots look fabulously comfortable. I shall for sure keep my eye out for them. Thanks for sharing!

Just in case you are homesick. I visited Myers in the Macquarie Centre yesterday – racks of plastic fantastic, glitzy horrors next to racks of dull, ultra-conservative dead rags (Ann Summers’ image of damned whores & god’s police lives on). The wattle is out, the lorikeets are in overdrive – maybe get homesick now.

Oh yes, I’m with you on the boot joy. Only good thing about Autumn…great find! Not vastly expensive either. What’s not to like! x
