Can anyone help find ankle boots and a jumper before I pull my hair out!!

I'm trying to find a few new bits for winter but am having absolutely no luck.

Grey ankle boots with a low heel. I've got a pair of Ash Jalouse in wood ash here which I'm going to send back (don't like the dip at the front and they're not a definite grey). Have checked out Mint Velvet, John Lewis and HoF. No idea where else to try. Considering Hudson Mirar in grey but someone has said they're a very narrow fit. Has anyone seen any please?

Also, am hunting high and low for a burgundy jumper. Jigsaw have one that I like but it's a boat neck so that rules it out. Hush have a lovely roll neck but it isn't wool which I would prefer. There's this from Comptoir des Cotonniers but I'm not convinced by the dip at the back. Saw a Whilstles number in HoF - perfect colour but boxy rather than longer length. Pure have a Cashmere boyfriend sweater but more than I want to spend.

Any suggestions would be more than welcome!! Grin

Thanks!

Whistles has a couple of nice burgundy sweaters (cashmere with £50 off right now) with most sizes in stock:

These Whistles boots are also nice (although the 36 was too small for me and the 37 was too big...they don't do half sizes! Grrr!)

Oh..I see the boxy sweater by Whistles has been ruled out.. But what about the cowl neck I linked you to? It runs large but I think that's the style of it (I tried the navy in small and I'm a ten...I like the oversized look with skinnies though)
I think the Comptoir sweater you linked to doesn't look like a true burgundy.

Wow! Love both those sweaters - neither are the one I picked up in HoF on Saturday so now wondering what brand I was looking at. And very much like the boots although the heel might be a tad high. Maybe worth trying if I can get free returns! Thanks LeoandBoosmum!

Boots here from duo?

Shoutymomma · 18/11/2013 21:30

Shoeshop.com for boots.

Twinklestein · 18/11/2013 21:43

Pure Collection have lots of 25% of codes around if that helps.

Whistles cashmere is a bit pants...

MrsMcGregor · 18/11/2013 22:03

Right, read a thread of a day or two ago which is critical of Whistles cashmere, so it's out! Thanks Twinkle!

Found this just now though Pure - any opinions? Nice or dowdy? Great price and I've had my eye on it.

Shall have a look at those Duo boots and Shoeshop.com - thank you both. Think I've fallen for the Whistles boots though!!!!
