Battle of the Beauty Advent Calendars {SPOILERS}

It's about time beauty advent calendars started coming out! A twist from the traditional 'chocolate/candy-a-day' advent calendars, each day is a different beauty item.

Wishlist Wednesday #8 // Boots are made for walking

For me, the perfect autumn outfit is never complete without a pair of boots! These are some of my absolute favourites in all sorts of styles and colours!

1. Ebay £12.99

Almost no-heel at all which makes it super easy for walking in. Love the bright cobalt blue colour! Something different from the standard black.

2. Ebay £9.99

A gorgeous burgundy pair with little diamante studs! At that price, it's an absolute bargain!

3. Ebay £7.99

If you can't part with black boots, then this is for you. I think it's a combination of leather and suede which makes it super unique and an added heel to give you height! Contemplating whether I should get this one.

4. Ebay £13.99 

How gorgeous is this pair?! The chunky heel makes it easier to walk in, and I love the gold embellishments which glams it up (:

5. ASOS £19.99 / US$ 33.74

Pretty standard tan boots, but with neutrals, you can never go wrong!

6. ASOS £19.99 / US$ 33.74

Lovely buckle details and again, super wearable and comfortable!
