DEICHMANN X CAROLINE BLOMST COLLECTION - THE OUTFITS

THE SHOPPING TRIP

There's just something about getting dressed up girly for a shopping trip, don't you think?! The tartan skirt has a bit of a 90s vibe to it, but combined with the very current cut out boots I think the outfit ends up being an updated take on a favourite style decade.

THE NIGHT OUT

When these boots arrived, I knew I'd have to include some sort of 'Little Black Dress' outfit. They're the kind of heel that you can wear for work, then shimmy into a little short number for an evening do and look like you've had the day. Chunky jewellery finished everything off for a night of shimmying to Beyonce & co.

THE INTERVIEW

Now, we all want to feel confident in what we're wearing when we're off to an interview.. they're scary at the best of times, without worrying if you've gone for the right option. For me, the best way to give myself a little boost is in heels.. an extra bit of height can work wonders! I've included my favourite perfume & a watch (gotta' be looking like you're a good time keeper in these situations I always think!).

THE DAY WITH THE FAMILY

Nobody wants to be getting the girls and the pins out on a day trip with their Nanna do they?! I've opted for legs out in a classic classic black skirt then made sure everything is toned down with a chunky, oversized knit. I'd be teetering about in the boots for a casual evening and switching to the loafers below for a dressed down day.

CAROLINE BLOMST COLLECTION

So, super blogger Caroline Blomst has come up with a capsule shoe collection for Deichmann, and of course, I've ended up lusting after cut out boots, strappy heels & and lace peep toes aplenty. Caroline's style credentials run from previous collaborations with Vogue (yep, I did just say Vogue) to working as a stylist and model. The collection means that whether you're more of a loafer kind of girl or prefer to spend your life tottering about in heels (*ahem* my 5ft4 self always approves of extra height..), there is something that is sure to become a must have addition to your shoe-drobe.

The competition in conjunction with the launch is something I thought I'd have to a bash at as I love a bit of a 'blog challenge'. It's a chance creative and there's no denying that the prize is a jaw dropping biggie.. definite life changer!

I decided to get extra creative styling wise and go for some classic outfit options.. Y'know, the outfits that we can all relate to (The Shopping Outfit is one I have to put together more than I should..). I styled these outfits up with the Peep Toe High Front Boot - my 'pick' from the collection. For me, they're the right style to wear for both day and night.. dressed down with slouchy knits for day & dressed up with glitzy jewellery for an evening out.

I've popped a few more of my favourites from the collection below. Actually, I think any of these styles could be paired with plenty of the outfits above. Is that perhaps justification to buy them all?!

Buckled Court - £24.99, Loafer - £17.99, Peep Toe High Front Lace Boot - £27.99
