It’s odd to think that a boot (never mind a pair of wellies) that has been around for over 150 years is still as trendy as ever, and that the past few years has seen the Hunter appear on the fashion as well as the farming pages. Not only do they keep your feet dry on the wettest day, but they look fantastic with jeans, skirts and dresses and there really aren’t that many fashion trends that cover the generations from pensioners to supermodels.

So, whether they are the trendy must-have or the just the reliable old pair you keep in the garage, I still say there’s nothing better for splashing about in the puddles on a wet day than this wonderful wellie. They last for years and start from only £40 and we definitely consider these to be a wardrobe basic that every woman should own.

What are you wearing on your feet right now? An expensive pair of trainers, or possibly a new pair of Birkenstocks? Perhaps you’re more of a ballet pump kind of individual, or prefer a kitten heel with everything. Most of the time I wear flatties, but for going out and and about, or for making a statement, you can’t beat a great of boots. Well, to be a little bit more precise, a pair of Dr Martens boots. I am totally in love with these things as they offer me all I need from a good pair of footwear and more. It all started back when I was 14 years old, out and about shopping with mum when I spotted a rack full of boots, mainly Timberlands (which I also love) but also a couple of pairs of DMs. I tried on a pair and they fit like a glove, in fact I’d never experienced such comfort before. Mum needed a little convincing but agreed after the sales guy said they lasted years and years and supported the feet better than a high heel ever got. They were purchased them immediately and so began a love affair with all things DM. That first pair lasted 4 years, and I have added to my collection by at least 1 pair of Dr Martens shoes and one pair of boots per year. I wear them with jeans, with dresses, with skirts, with shorts, at work, at home, out hiking, out dancing and when out to impress.

I am hooked on Dr. Martens for life.
