LJL celebrates 50 years of the platform knee high...

Platforms are something which seem to come back into fashion time and time again...from Twiggy to Britt Ekland - Elvis to Blondie - Kate Moss to Vivienne Westwood...our style icons of the decades are constant ambassadors of the platform and knee high boot in all shapes and sizes, heights and designs...our love affair with the platform boot only seems to get deeper and deeper....

Celebrating 50 years of knee high boots...From 1960 - 2010

Taking of love, we are head over heels about these Jacksons platform boots that we have in three delicious colours at LauraJ London. Black, grey and brown and all in the most sumptuous leather you can imagine!

It seems that most of us always have been and always will be smitten with the platform...truly madly deeply... LJL x

UGG vs Snowjogger

Autumn is definitely here (booo!)...Rain, wind and a drop in temperature has got us LauraJ ladies debating what we'll be wearing this Autumn Winter to keep our tootsies snug and toastie!

UGG have teamed up with Jimmy Choo to design a limited edition collection this season. Studded, tassled, knitted...you name it, Jimmy Choo and UGG have done it!

However, it appears they may have some competition in the 'must have' winter warmer department. Snowjogger are the design on everyone's lips (and feet!) and are going down a storm in LA amongst the fashionista's! We love the range of colours and styles from Snowjogger, and the rather lower price tag than the Jimmy Choo UGG's make them even more appealing.


So...UGG vs Snowjogger? At LauraJ London, Snowjogger gets our vote. In fact, we love them so much that we've got three gorgeous finishes coming in to the boutique in November! Oooooh, we can't wait!!

All about the Fleece

To fleece or not to fleece that is the question..perfect for keeping your feet snug and warm and also looks great so why not add a touch of fleece this winter.

Marni as always have created something goodlooking and chic.
The Jacksons have worked with a flat work boot style.....

and the elegant rabbit boot...

All you need is an animal print beret to keep your head warm and your ready to rock and rock!
