These shoe-boots, an ideal trans-seasonal purchase, were definitely made for walking. A stand-out piece in classically British label Burberry’s spring/summer collection, these beauties have that certain je ne sais quoi that puts them firmly at the top of our wish-list this month. The brown raffia material satisfies our textural cravings, while the ankle-cinching cord gives an instant bang-on-trend, new-season silhouette. Note the purple and black striped wedge heel and peep toes, which nod to summer’s tribal trend. This is maximum impact with minimal effort; if only all our New Year’s resolutions were so easy.
