I already know the reaction that 50% of you will have as soon as you see these boots and it will be something like this: Oh my God Andy, why did you get those boots!? They are so ugly!... :P
Well, it all started last summer when I visited Scandinavia for the first time (yeah! a lot of girls in Scandinavia wear Doc Martens, oh and in England, and so on), but it always amazed me how they make these masculine boots look so stylish, so I took this as a Styling challenge!
I have been wanting a pair for a while, but I was always hesitating and was afraid that they might have looked too masculine on me.
I was in NYC last week and while walking around SoHo, I bumped into the Doc Martens shop, that was the moment where I saw the Avery velvet boots, too perfect for words! Yeah, they are still Doc Martens, but there was something about the velvet, that immediately justified me wearing them.
Unfortunately they didn't have my size, so I browse the internet for hours but still couldn't find them, lucky for me, as soon as I landed in London this morning, I rushed to the Doc Martens shop in Covent Garden and I found them!
I am very curious to see how I will adapt these to my wardrobe, lets just wait and see!
P.S- Have you seen my NY FW diaries on Fashiolista yet?
P.S 2- Thousands of Outfit pics from my trip to NYC are still coming, bare with me! :D
P.S 3- Did I mention I am in London!?!?!

Indeed, the Scandinavian & English girls can wear it good!
Im going to dublin next weekend, and one of the thigs Im going to buy are a pair of Doc Martens.
Wow, such nice boots!
I love it! ;)
LOVE them! i am actually trying to find some myself but it wasn't meant to be. have a great time in London!!
I absolutely love DM's but I agree, I sometimes feel they are just too masculine but these are just amazing!
I love them too much, right, that's it, these are most definitely the most important thing to get this year!!

They are awesome!!
They are really adorable! I've never seen velvet Doc Martens, and I like them a lot. They would be really cute in a burgundy color!
I don't get it.. these shoes are so nice!
I'm really jealous of the shoes! I literally gasped when I saw the shoes! cutecute.
btw Andy, I've noticed you used the words "bare with me" quite often in your posts. The correct way is "bear with me". Sorry if this sounds terribly rude, but I'm a grammar nut and just wanted to let you know.
Yes Andy, that was my exact reaction :P. I am curious as to how you'll style them! Have fun in London. <3
beso
very nice shoes !!
I loved them!! I'm sure you convert them in your style!! I'm waiting your pictures with them!! Have a nice week in London!!

So jealous! I've never seen a velvet style before, I really like them!! Much love from England!
Wow, I love them! I've got some grey suède lace up boots that I've been wearing all winter. they perfectly unite masculinity and feminity... They just give that certain edge to an outfit... Enjoy them! =)
THEY ARE NOT UGLY AT ALL!!!!!!!
I love Dr. Martens, and I have one pair myself. They are awesome! Can't wait to see you style them...
It's good when you make a little change in your wardrobe. Cant wait to see how you stylish them.

I love doc martens, and the velvet makes them a little girly. I think they would look great with so colorful pieces. Like pink, or blue pants.
My Heart Blogged
They are great. So much better than the regular shiny ones...I wish they'd look good on a size 41 and skinny legs though:))

well i think that when woman wears masculine clothes it's because she feels so femine and sexy, that she doesn't have to show her boobs or so on, i used to wear martens but now i prefere less heavy shoes, but still in masculine style;) so i cant wait to see you in these lovely pair!na
No Andy !!!!!!! These shoes are great ! I'm also thinking of buying some docs, it just took me lately idk.. Im sure you'll rock them gurl <3 xxx

I love love love Docs.
I've got 4 pairs now!!!
Including a pair of the special edition 50th anniversary for Sanrio and Doc Martens Hello Kitty Docs.
And a pair of Vintage 1970's eggplant pair.
I would never survive Winter without them!!
Or Spring.
He-He-He
I wear them with just about everything.
I wear them with skinny jeans rolled up with a lacy top.
A pair of leggings shorts and DIY Tee.
Even a frilly girly girl dress and tights!!!
What I'm getting at is have fun with them!!
They'll last you a lifetime.
Just make sure you wear band aids on your heels!!

I really like these boots. I have had similiar ones for 8 years now and although I don't wear them as regularly as I used to they are still one of the comfiest pairs of shoes I own! I'm looking forward to see how you're going to combine them.
Welcome to London! Hope you have a great time so far!
