The purple suede Topshop boots that will make you win at autumn/winter dressing

If you're still kicking yourself that you missed out on those Saint Laurent boots (don't worry, I am too), I've got just the pair that'll make you forget them.
They're not covered in sequins, I'll give you that, but they are bright purple suede, and I'm pretty sure they'll sell out too once they launch at Topshop next month.
They'll set you back just £99 and are launching 26th September. You have been warned.
Said knee-high boots come courtesy of Topshop's brand new Autumn/Winter 2017 campaign, which was just unveiled today.
In the pics, shot by Giampaolo Sgura and styled by Topshop Creative Director Kate Phelan, models Birgit Kos and Luisana Gonzalez show us what you'll be buying at Topshop next season, from faux-fur coats to checked and striped suits. With Topshop Black Friday sales coming up, we're hoping a few of these products make it in there...
Other new season highlights include a high-neck tea dress, floral velvet trousers matched with a ruffle shirt, and a pinstripe suit.

But if I'm completely honest, the boots are what I'm really excited about, and I'll be styling them with that monochrome polka dot dress to give it a bit more of an edge.
Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.
Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).
Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.
However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.
Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
