Luxe for Less: Chloe Susanna Studded Ankle Boots Dupe


Eek I’m tres excited for my new purchase and cannot wait until its arrival, so whilst I’m impatiently waiting on my postman to deliver my new boots I thought I would write a post about them-I am of course talking about the Schuh ‘Bob’ Studded Ankle Boot’s which are exactly the same as the Office Nighthawk ankle boots only the Schuh version has the Blink logo on them.


Can be bought here for £80

These boots are of course a dupe for the Chloe Susanna Studded Ankle Boots which were made popular back in 2008 by celebrities such as Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller. I always wished that I had these boots but unfortunately do not have that kind of money and have thus been on the look out for a good dupe of these boots. Hence my excitement at discovering recently that they were more than one dupe of these boots available on the high-street.

I umed and awed over the office version for ages but didn’t have £104 spare to spend on them. I would try them on each time I was in the shop [I’m sure the shop assistant was sick of me trying and not buying,lol] and so I decided I would save up for them. Around a month after deciding to save for them I discovered that Schuh had brought out a pair named ‘bob’ which are branded by Blink for £80. All sounds a bit confusing, but word on the street is that they are in fact the same boot. From closer inspection I would say that they are with the only difference being that the Schuh version has a small logo on the side.  I am however happy to report that I managed to grab myself a little bargain and got the Schuh ‘Bob’ ankle boots brand new on ebay for £68.50 as someone was selling them due to them not suiting them and having exceeded the return date of their receipt. So bonus for me-yaay!!!
Now just one question remains: what do I wear with these boots?
As you may have gathered from previous blog posts I love all things studded. I would describe my style as girly with a slight grungier edge to it.  For everyday casual wear you will probably find me in a blouse of some sort, a blazer, skinnies and studded pumps. I am very much a flats girl by day and thought these boots could add a bit of edge to my wardrobe for autumn/winter. Below I have gathered some inspiration on what I could wear these boots with.
 



What do you think of these boots and what would you wear with them?
