I'm away from home right now with summer clothes only, no boots :)
Re me letting go of the Lazios & keeping Shelias in their place is first because they look quite similar (though Lazio has the pointy toe, Shelia almond) but mostly because I don't really do the Lazios justice. My legs are too short and I wear my skirts too long (no higher than just above the knee) for them to look good bare legged so I'm limited to wearing them with black skinnies. For some reason the Lazios seem to "stumpy-fy/stumpify?" me (lol) more than Jacobs or Mony boots. The long line of the Shelias is more flattering on me (& I love the glossy pony panel up to the knee)!
So please don't let your lovely Lazios go if you're getting good wear out of them - I LOVE them on others and they're so comfy and easy to pull on.
And re Prescotts Vs Shelias, as well as Prescotts looking more casual, I think of Shelias as more winter boots and Prescotts more trans-seasonal.

Would you say the Sheilas are more fitted on the leg than the Prescotts? The only thing stopping me from getting the Prescotts is that on my thin legs they do look very wide at the top. I'm hoping the Sheilas are a bit slimmer.

I couldn't say for sure but there was no difference that I noted. It's summer for me so I tried the Shelias for size when they arrived and then put them away.
This pic from the runway shows how they looked on the model.

Straight Laced-thanks for your input on the boots. I still can't quite decide but was leaning towards the Prescott because of its wearability. That said I have other suede boots and no pony hair. So maybe I should keep the Shelia instead. This is hard choice.

I think it is a difficult choice because there are definite pros and cons to both boots.
There's quite a discussion going on in the Celine forum regarding the durability of pony hair. The Shelias have a pony hair toe (major wear & tear area) so that may be a consideration for you.
Personally I prefer the look of the Shelias but I will find more use for the Prescotts. The Prescotts are lovely but they aren't quite as special as the Shelias.
Take your time thinking about it if you can ;)

Hello ladies!
Could anyone advise me with regards to these supposedly 'black' Dickers at MyTheresa?

http://www.mytheresa.com/en-gb/dicker-suede-ankle-boots-269759.html

They look very much like dark grey to me, and wondered whether they were actually anthracite?
I checked against their other photographs of black suede boots and it isn't just the studio lighting making them appear so pale. I am really confused!

I am keen to locate a pair of black suede boots within the UK, and can only find blue-black at Matches....

Would anthracite boots work well with opaque tights, do you think?

Thanks.

The colour is actually listed as anthracite.
MyTheresa customer care is very good and they will give you accurate advice on how dark the anthracite is in real life.
Personally I prefer black boots with opaque tights.

Thanks Straight-Laced.
I can only see 'slick black suede' written in the style details section. Can't see the word anthracite anywhere, but am probably overlooking it?

I agree about the black boots. I dare say I've missed the boat for this season.

Designer colour : Anthracite
It's listed in the details section.
It might be worth enquiring at MyTheresa. I own a pair of IM sneakers that are officially described as Anthracite and they are the same colour as my black Dickers.
Good luck with finding a pair. Maybe check Farfetch?

I can't see the link (LVR "hides" IM from australians these days) but I would talk to someone at LVR or Mytheresa who has the actual boots in front of them and can tell you whether they are black or dark grey :)

What?! Since when did LVR hide IM for Australian shoppers?? Before you could buy IM... Who's idea was this to
1. Increase prices just for Australian customers & 2.hide their IM stock from Australian shoppers and say it's unavailable?!

Must be retailers here complaining to IM head office about losing sales to online stores! Maybe if they priced fairly here, we wouldn't shop online!
But IM shouldn't be allowed to do this too!

Makes me so mad that this happens to us!
