Slim blazers, simple tees and tanks in dark neutrals, a romantic lace skirt, sheer blouses in creamy shades, black bandage skirts, quintessential ballet shoes, brown leather oxfords, short slouchy boots...
In short, what I dream of wearing this fall. Dark staples offset by dreamy, ballet-inspired pieces, accessorized with colored tights and simple, elegant gold jewelry...
... and these.
VINTAGE FLORAL DOC MARTENS.
I AM IRREVOCABLY IN LOVE WITH THEM.
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP.
I found the perfect, perfect pair on eBay and the bidding ends in thirty hours, so I need you all to answer me this: how do Doc Marten sizes run compared to regular shoes? If I normally wear an 8 or 8.5, what American size would I be in Docs?
This is of the utmost importance. Thank you thank you thank you!

need to start thinking about fall as well.
new conquest: denim leggings. MUST FIND SOME.
also. i miss you. stil. and ZOMG NYC, FRIDAY.
wow, they're amazing. but i don't know.. i'm sorry.
xx
oh you must get the docs!
I hear that docs, run big so an 8 probably be right. Not sure I try on a 5 one time and they were a little tight.
don't know 'bout Doc's sizing, but these are gorgeous! Raise your highest bid by $20 and count me in on your quest :)
8 should be good. I wear 8 but have some docs in a 7.5 that are just a WEEEEEEE bit tight.
that's what I dream of wearing this fall too!!! i love all the pieces.
i'd say pick a half smaller size for the docs.
the docs are absolutely perfect.
love the androgyny of the clothes you have chosen!
they are selling the same doc martens on the urban outfitters website, check it out!
I love your wishlist.
I want those docs too!
Well I wear a size 9, and my doc martens are a size 9 and fit perfectly. So they are true to size...
oh, so bad that i don't know anything about doc mart's size. but wow, that's such a great pair! totally rocks!
I want it so bad but i can't afford it. sigh.. :(
anyway, great post dear!

Love the oxfords and plaid blazer. Oh, and my mom totally owns those Docs.
those booties would make me strut. i want them.
Ahhh. Get the Docs. I love the floral. However i wish the colors were a bit more vibrant.
oooooh yummy! where are the flats, skirt and crop top from? (:
WOnderful things, I hope you'll be successful with the Doc's!
No help on the sizes, but I'm drooling over this entire post.
I'm not sure how it works in american sizing, but they always run a bit larger.
I'm a 39 and I've found 38's fit me better.

I have been wanting floral dr martens for the longest time!!
les Doc floral j'avais craqué dessus il y a quelques années mais je ne les ai pas achetées ... maintenant avec mon travail cela ne passerait pas, dommage !
I loveee both blazers from topshop they look so perfectly cut, like not boxy at all.
Love the docs too...I got a vintage white pair on ebay but I'm thinking of painting flowers on them
love it all! especially the tulle ivory skirt!
xox
augh those docs plague my wants and needs as well
I love everything you listed for your fall wishlist. I want all the same things!!! I love fall clothes..
For the doc's you could always try heading over to zappos.com and seeing what others say about the fit. You could also Google "Doc sizing" or something. They are wonderful!

SO excited for Fall, I want oversized light sweaters and knee highs. Have to find some nice boots 2
I'm thinking of buying the actual main size i use, not bigger not smaller. I`ve tried it and it really felt like I did not need a size bigger.
Kinda weird if they make you feel like McDondalds to you know;P
Good luck though!
btw. I like your blog and I will be comming back for more;)

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES. THAT WHITE SKIRT IS TO DIE FOR AS IS THE CROP TOP. MUST. HAVE. NOW! thank you for finding things that will empty my back account. but really, THANK YOU CUZ I'M IN LOVE! I saved this collage you made on my computer in a file called 'YESYESYES' just so you know.
Nice picks! In a great coincidence, I'm pretty sure those oxfords are the ones I just ordered. I'm crossing my fingers that they fit properly, because they look absolutely perfect.
whatever you do. those shoes are pwhaor
Docs are in UK sizes. I'm usually a US 9 or 9.5 and my docs are UK size 6, so I would say you'd probably be a 5
Yum yum yum, these are all too much. Now all I need is some money! Wonderful finds x

If you're a US 8, then you'll be a UK 6 - no bones about it. Don't listen to Lily!
hey! i just bought a pair of docs from UO too. i usually wear size 10 (US) and i bought the size 10. and they fit me perfectly!! just see the measurement table, and see the UK size from your own size :P

Happy blogging
great picks. docs usually fit true to size. if they are a bit tight you can always get them stretched. you need to break them in for sure. when i fist got mine i was totally in pain for the first few days.
amazing doc's :)
Looove these! The blazers are fabulous, especially the plaid one!
Love the docs, not sure about the sizing though!
best of luck with the Docs! normally if i'm not sure about sizing, i'll just email the seller the measurements of the shoe from heel to toe and then hopefully it would give me a better idea of sizing. loving all your fall stuff!!
Those are lovely wardrobes. And you've chosen great stuffs. =D

AAAAAANNIE I think I loves you!
I think Docs have a pretty regular size chart. At least those I have are the same size I always wear.
Good luck with those!
I have a pair of this flowers Dr.Martens, they're are really cool and people always love them when you wear them. Hope you will have your pair ! :D
i have a pair of doc martens exactly like those , theyre a size 6 but are way too small for me, and i wear an 8-8.5. so i would suggest getting a 7.5. that would be about right! good luck! =D

My favorite pair of docs were purchased at a salvation army 8 years ago! I bought them when I thought I was Gwen Stefani, forgot about them, and then pleasantly surprised myself last Halloween when I found them in the costume box! They're not floral, but there's hope you may be able to find you're own kick-ass pair out there...mine look like rhino skin (the sparkle laces were from the Gwen phase....) hahaha
I love every single piece!! Especially that Topshp printed crop top! I'm obssessed with neutrals at the moment. xxoxoxo
oh i don't know how to help you dear, but those docs are very beautiful! i really adore them too. and all the clothes you posted here, actually, are beautiful <3
No idea, I'm sorry!
The Docs are completely gorgeous.
i have no idea concerning to your question...but those Doc Marten look really girly...
i really like your fall collection... :)
These boots are so ridiculous that they're awesome. :D
My goodness, those Docs are phenomenal! How much are you paying for them?
I saw a pair like this in a vintage shop up north, but they were a ridiculous size. A five, or something outrageous.
Oh, they are so beautiful! I hope they fit!
i don't know much about converting size of shoes. :( sorry..
xx
I've finally started to think about Fall stuff. Those floral Doc Martens are great. Sorry I can't help you with sizing- it's been a while!
I would love to see you style these docs!
i actually want everything on this list! ugh now i have to start a new shopping list! lol xoxooxx
Oooo I love those docs! And I have that white f21 skirt, I love it so much and wear it all the time hehe.
I have a pair of vintage floral docs and they run a bit big. They're also really roomy in the front end and feel really clompy.
