Thanksgiving, we're celebrating...

The Accessory Boutique is a still family run business and to help celebrate our half-American heritage, we thought we'd give our Blog followers a special gift.

For Thanksgiving Day only (that's tomorrow, Thursday 25th November - and always the last Thursday in November), we'd like to share with you an ad-hoc 10% off any purchases via our website. Simply quote the following code at checkout when shopping online: turkeyday

But remember, this offer applies for one day only. We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving, and of course, Happy Shopping!

Baby it's cold outside - wedding boots for winter brides.

With the cold-snap already here, winter brides might like to know that you don't have to suffer frozen tootsies on your big day. Bridal boots have come a long way since the Victoriana style (which are obviously just the thing if that is your theme!), but these fabulous boots will work beautifully with all bridal looks.

Ryder by Benjamin Adams (Paradox London) are an ankel boot style and part of the sensational 2011 Collection. These beauties feature the finest ivory silk upper, fully padded insoles, luxurious suede leather soles and shimmering Swarovski crystals. Fashionista Snow Queen? Absolutely! Just add a (fake) fur tippet or cape to indulge in cosiness and look chic while the temperatures outside plummet.

Black Magic! The easy route to show-stopping one-of-a-kind party shoes!

Spread a little seasonal dazzle with your party footwear this Christmas by selecting an luxe pair of wedding shoes and letting us dye them for you. Then just sit pretty and wait for total shoe envy to come your way!

Our favourites this season are those with more than a little sparkle in the form of the subtle vintage flourish to the full-on Swarovski encrusted to add a little red-carpet WOW factor.

To see just how amazing bridal shoes can look once dyed (and a pop of colour really changes how some of the style look, highlighting shape or design beautifully - and nobody will know they started off as 'wedding shoes'), here's more than a bit of inspiration... we welcome the gorgeous NEW Caron from the 2011 Rainbow Couture collection, certainly our #1 shoe crush this season.

What do you do next? Simply order your desired shoe, and we deliver them to you (undyed) so you can make sure they fit well and the style suits you - then either pop them back to us for dyeing (to your own swatch or to 'black', which needs no swatch) or for a refund or exchange if you don't 100% love them.

Our dyeing services can either be purchased online at the same time as your shoes, or separately only once you're sure the shoes are right for you, whichever you prefer. It's as easy as 1-2-3!
