CHUKKKSSSS

Vans hierachy imho. (In order of thick-thigh friendliness)

Chukka > Sk8 Hi > 106 > Authentic/Era > All the rest of them (Old Skools don't rank, yuk ; sk8-mids - not on your nelly Holmes)

For summer I was all about a white chukka and floral playsuit. Now darker times have come (boooo clocks going back, i'm not sure the farmers are all that bothered anyway?) and all my white Vans are all grimed out, these are my favourite Chukkas and sk8-his i've seen, for the winter, dark and that....+ black tights, MAC Ruby Woo and a velvet dress = new dude. honest.





and my #1 favourite!!! - an oldie but a goodie:


As warm as toast.

CANKLE

I don't have them BUT if I did, i'd wear ankle boots all day long. maybe. oh wait, i already do. here's my favourites right about now...

ALEXUS PLATFORM @ TOPSHOP - £85


being over 5'8 and over a size 12, i'll just-say-no to these at the risk of looking like a contestant of RuPaul 'Drag-Race' (5.5 inch heel blud!) but for anyone else, they'll look buff. guaranteed. well not 'guaranteed' but you know, i have a lot of faith in these ones.

Same for these (crepe soles for the win!):


and these:

if i do risk boarding the train to trannyville with any of these it'll be with the 3xl Estevan Oriol 'LA' tee the Jerk bought me (it's bloody huge) and 80 denier tights.

preferably my tassled black Bebaroque ones but the waist has gone (common complaint apparently) so i'll have to go Superman and wear my pants over. nice.

dropped and copped

NOT!

these hotties are £424!!! the Robert Clergerie badboy heeled desert boots are beautiful and the only way for me to wear my favourite desert boots and maintain proportional looking pins (i'm thick of thigh). it still doesn't worth it for me (champagne lifestyle, lemonade wages and all that), as i'll starve for at least 3 months. however, if you've got an errant 4 tons to spend then you can get them at FarFetch.com.



topshop have these 'August' boots for £75 but the dodgy heel and weird styling on the front make these 100% pure butters in my book. bleurgh. a scrunched down ankle sock MAY improve but doubtful.
