Yesterday I spotted the @CharlieMay aka Girl a la Mode Dr Martens Individual Style United Spirit #FIRSTANDFOREVER competition and thought I’d give it a whirl…

At the age of 26 and 364 days… (yes, it’s my birthday tomorrow) These are my very FIRST pair of Dr Martens Airwair boots and I ABSOLUTELY adore them! I have tested them out fully (in a mad dash to the train station) and found them more comfortable than a pair of Nikes and somewhat more suitable to wear with a pretty tshirt dress…

For my trip to the seaside I decided to test them out more extensively… I went for a quick horse ride along the beach, a lovely cycle with the boyfriend along the no cycling promenade, stomped around in front of a few pretty beach huts and balanced on some rocks. 

Loved it!

What I wore: I paired my Dr Martens Airwair Heeled Chelsea Boots with an old black felt trilby, a rather grunge-y new Topshop crochet cutout  floral sundress and armfuls of gold bangles and cute little grey broderie anglaise ankle socks with bows on them.

Et Voila!!
