All right, I have purchased 2 winter boots at beginning of October but I didn’t confess here. With friends’ recent questions about what kind of boots to shop, I thought I should bring them out to share the love.
Ankle Zip Black Boots by Pied A Terre. Chunky heel, a bit of rock n roll feeling. It’s perfect with skinny jeans, easy to walk with, and handy to toughen up some slightly ‘too-pretty’ outfits.

Paul by Paul Smith smart ankle boots caught my eyes, because I was looking for some all-time-investment smarties, that would be perfect with some sequin dress as shown in below image with super chinese model Liu Wen. The boots are in super butter-soft calf skin and got a platform, so it’s super easy to walk in them.

A slightly different Fashion Windows this time since the shop I’ve snapped pictures of is inside a department store and therefore doesn’t have a ‘window’. This doesn’t stop it from doing fabulous displays though! For the past few months, Steen & Strøm has been rebuilding their entire menswear floor. Both the Burberry and Hugo Boss concessions have been expanded and one of my favourite designers, Paul Smith, has opened a brand new shop-in-shop. This is one of two recent concessions in Scandinavia, the other one being in Copenhagen’s Illum department store.

The Steen & Strøm shop has clothes from the Paul Smith Jeans, Paul Smith London and PS Paul Smith lines. The concession also has shoes and items from the accessory collections available. Steen & Strøm, Eger and a few other fashion boutiques in Oslo have been stocking Paul Smith for quite some time, but this is the first proper concession dedicated solely to the designer and his different lines. My favourite part of the new concession is the baby blue signature wall with photo frames in different sizes. The space in the concession is quite limited, but the visual merchandising team has made the most of the space they had available. I think the way they have decorated the wall is a good way to compensate for not having a real window to dress. The wall to the right of the photo wall is dedicated to suits, whilst the wall to the left has a cabinet with small leather goods and other accessories.

I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.

I’m on a quest at the moment. A quest to find some nice black or dark grey tops to wear this spring. That is easier said than done.
I love spring and it is my favourite season, but I hate spring fashion with passion. Those who know me know that I mostly wear dark colours – dark greys and black to be more exact (I’m an autumn boy at heart). Therefore, what the shops have in store at the moment is a complete nightmare for me. This is the sight that met me earlier today when I went window shopping in my lunch break:

I think autumn has just started in Australia. Maybe I should just order clothes online from there instead.
