VICTORIA BECKHAM DOES CASUAL (and the world is surprised)

Sometimes it's gets tricky styling casual large size shoes without feeling like you're dressing them down too much.

At Uncommon Ground we're not really massive Victoria Beckham style fans. Her getups are usually far too uptight and ladylike, and her heels are usually way too high (which isn't always ideal if you're already a tall girl). But we've gotta say, this look above pretty much hits the nail on the head for us!

Classic chelsea boots (just like our Jamie Fame Patti Boot) teamed with rolled raw denim jeans and a fantastic wool coat. Simple, stylish and comfortable. What more could a girl want?

HOW TO FROUFROUU YOUR BOOTS

We have a definite soft spot for blogger Nadia at FrouFrouu. She rocks vintage dudes clothing with ease, and can wear a great pair of boots better than most.

We're sure you already know how to wear boots with jeans, so we've thrown together a few of the more dressed up images from her blog FrouFrouu to give you some inspiration on how else to wear your Jamie Fame Boots.

LONELY HEARTS

It's Valentine's Day, and while the mainstream tries to spruik lacy red push up bras to entice a man, I know what I'd much rather be wearing. Thanks Lonely Hearts for making lacy underwear that looks good with torn tees and raggy jeans.

 

COOPS CLIP-ONS

How super cute are these clip-on earrings? Usually just the thought of clip on earrings makes my lobes start to ache, but these sweet peices are designed to grip on without inflicting pain. 

The brand behind these sweet designs Coops London was launched just last year. Love it when talented folks think outside the box!

And while the simplicity looks gorgeous, as someone who already has numerous holes punched through my earlobes, I'm now thinking about all the layering combinations that can happen.
