APPRISE

. ASOS APPRISE BOOTS .

Ever since my discovery of the Acne Free Leather Chelsea boots, all thanks to Danielle Bernstein, I’ve spent countless hours browsing the web, London & blogs in search of them. Sadly, I caught on to the patent pointed chelsea boot rather late & every Acne stockist in the UK and abroad seemed to have sold out of the beauts (you can see them here). Following that fail, I decided to search high and low for a dupe … when I set my heart to something come rain or shine, i’ll bloody well find them.

. ASOS Apprise Chelsea Boot £45 (sale) .

 

After 4 full weeks of searching, daily, I resided to the fact I wasn’t going to find the perfect replica for any less than £400 (god there were some amazing Saint Lauren ones for £650 though), I could only find patent or pointed & most tended to edge towards a more standard ankle boot opposed to the classic chelsea boot design. After going in every shop you could imagine, I decided the Kurt Geiger had the best selection of boots which were the closes to what I was looking for, I had seen this pair of Apprise boots on ASOS, but sadly totally out of stock. I picked the pair I was going to buy (patent serpent boots from KG) and went online to order …. at that moment I thought i’d do one final check (as 24 days worth wasn’t quite enough) and that’s when these Apprise boots, the closest thing to the Acne boot, popped up as available …. in my size (AND IN THE SALE).  Without a second thought I bought them, and voila, here we are, united through fate & excited for our future love affair to commence.

Dramatic perhaps, but that truly is how obsessive I get when I find something I want. And hey look, it paid off …
