It’s Payday! So We’re Going To Persuade You To Buy Mexicana’s Star Strewn Ankle Boots

Black ankle boots are a staple part of any wardrobe - but way more fun with stars...

Payday-June

July is here. JULY! Why aren’t we on holiday yet? Thing is, who cares about going on holiday when the weather is so sweet and payday brings a new summer piece. This time, may we please suggest a pair of Chiqui Star Studded Leather Ankle Boots, £425, by Mexicana at Net-a-Porter?

Every girl should – and does – own a go-with-everything pair of black ankle boots. But what if said boots had a twist? A sprinkle of pewter silver stars that make you feel like David Bowie, but still go with everything. They’ve just got a total _pep i_n their step. And it’s that pep that warrants the sizeable price tag. That, and the fact that these Euro-Mexican boots are so exquisitely made, you know they’re gonna last a long, long time.

In case you need even more persuasion here are 4 ways to wear them...

Pyjama life

Think of it as the 90s supers’ sleepover uniform, the kind of thing Rachel Green would have worn just before Friends started. A slubby sweater and soft shirt make a lace-trim silk slip acceptable daywear while some ribbed cashmere socks will make your boots feel like socks.

Park life

Going to a festival? Or just the regular old park? This zingy vintage-inspired slip dress riffs on those silver stars perfectly. Throw a bomber jacket over the top and you’ve got an outfit to take you anywhere/everywhere.

Party life

Be Ziggy Stardust and pair the star boots with a plunging flared playsuit. Free People has an excellent selection of Studio 54 playsuits to make you feel like a disco chiller.

Beach City life

Don’t be confused. This is for those day trips to the beach when you’re not actually sunbathing (read: Brighton), which means a floaty chemise that doesn’t cover your bum just won’t do. Some ripped jeans and a triangle bra wore with an undone shirt (hey, it’s summer) is as easy and airy as it is comfortable.
