LONDON, ENGLAND, January 17, 2011 (Press-News.org) January is now upon us, arguably the worst month in every true fashionista's year. The joy that is Christmas has left us with maxed out credit cards, no sign of a disposable income and, ironically, a few extra pounds of a different nature!
Therefore it's time for 'Fashion Fasting' - the unwanted, yet essential, commitment to up-cycle those existing investment pieces, and ladies boots are at the top of our transitional agenda. Whatever your boot of choice, the runways of SS11 still feature boots as a key accessory of the season's new trends.
The white and beige tones that rule SS11's colour palette have been paired with contrasting black riding boots, a la Hermes whilst the likes of Jill Stuart have showcased neutral calf boots with one of the season's staple pieces, the 70's midi.
Androgynous boots, a crucial part of AW2010, have been reclaimed by the likes of Isabel Marant and Marios Schwab. These biker inspired boots are contrasted with delicate, ultra feminine pieces, to rework the masculine vs. feminine trend.
Resident Duo stylist Jemma McNulty says, "This is an awkward time in the fashion calendar, it is still cold, we've overspent and spring's key looks are the last thing on our minds. It is savvy and stylish to rework your favourite winter pieces and boots are a quick fix transitional option."
Boot experts Duo, known for their bespoke fittings (boots in 21 different calf measurements and shoes in 3 secret widths), showcased a variety of on-trend looks this season. If you're currently in need of boots and fortunate enough to have a few extra Christmas pennies leftover, then head to Duo where they are currently offering up to 50% off of their sale boot collection! And if you were lucky enough to get your hands on a pair last year, dust them off and start rocking these transformed trends to help make the months of Fashion Fasting that little bit easier!

They usually occur on exposed areas of the body, such as the face, eyes, hands, arms and legs.
