boots and the city: nyc

  when you travel often you find yourself having to make awkward decisions. almost like foreseeing the future. it’s fair to say that men probably have much less of a problem doing this, based largely on tyler’s packing behaviour (bless his heart) where most of the packing space is in my hands. and if it were up to me i would travel with a trunk full of shoes. shoes are really what completes the outfit don’t you think? you can tell a whole story with the right pair of shoes. we put that theory to the test this fashion month with the help of cat footwear. we selected three different pairs of boots from their fall 2015 collection and we shot them in three different places. these boots have traveled far and wide on an adventure of their own. you already know how hard it is for me to edit out photos, especially when we feel inspired, so this is ending in three separate posts all of which tell the story of my favourite picks from the collection. we are going to start with the classic cat colorado. it’s chunky, heavy and bold and we picked new york to be it’s urban counterpart. a lot of what colorado represents to me is the hip hop culture. i have seen rappers wear the tan equivalent (rita ora even sported a black pair to an event and paired it with a dress), so new york was an obvious choice. we wanted to take this street style look back to it’s roots. i may not look as cool in baggy jeans as kanye so i thought i would spin this in a slightly more grungy way. we had a lot of fun with this look, and the light in new york streets is perfection, all elements are here and i am missing my colorado boots just looking at these pics.

as part of our collaboration cat footwear is giving away one pair of cat footwear boots from the women’s collection, to qualify you must follow @catfootwear on instagram and leave a comment on one of my photos that i will be posting on the platform as part of my takeover this week. let us know which style is your favourite.
