Surprise, surprise! Hermes plans London pop-up shops



Building on the success of its adorable J’aime Mon Carre site, Hermes is hosting two London pop-up shops selling its snazzy silk scarves. The first opens on 17th November at the Rochelle School (home of design studios for the likes of Katie Hillier and Giles Deacon) in Arnold Circus and the second opens on 25th November in Ledbury Road. (Hmmm, something tells me Ledbury Road will have the most takers.) That’s the Christmas shopping sorted then…

Veja’s eco-friendly trainers



I have been meaning to feature Veja for over a year now. I love their minimalist, unisex aesthetic and eco-conscious credentials. And they’re affordable too. Very rare to find a shoe that ticks so many boxes…

 

Veja Womens collection available at Selfridges, Three Threads, Supra, Studio 8.

Breaking news: Church’s to open standalone women’s store



 


News just in: Forget Louis Vuitton, Prada and Chanel, the only shoe destination you need in New Bond Street is about to open at number 163. Formerly a mens shoe shop, the new standalone Church’s store, ‘Lady Bond’ (according to my mole) will be dedicated to women’s shoes in unique colorways. These shoes will be made in Italy ( thanks to the Prada connection?) as opposed to Northampton.

I’m praying for highly-polished brogues, oxfords and lounge slippers in Laduree macaron shades – not much to ask I’m sure you’ll agree. ETA: end of November.

Hot jean alert: J Brand’s Gigi




When I attended Net-a-Porter’s infamous Denim Boutique launch back in June, one of the nuggets of news I picked up was its prediction for the Next Big Jean Shape. Denim and casualwear buyer Ben Matthew’s description of J Brand’s Gigi was “a cropped kick flare that hits just above the ankle before flaring out slightly”, which I have to say, did not appeal. It sounded a bit too much like Celine’s icky, tricky flood-length pant to me.

But how wrong I was. Just launched, the J Brand Gigi is a mid-rise skinny cut with the weeniest hint of a flare. Really not ‘booty’ at all. And I can see it looking very uptown with my Rupert Sanderson nude patent Veritys (the only heels that I can walk in) or ancient vintage Charles Jourdan little black kitten heels – plus a little boy shirt and my black pebbled Chanel tote. Apparently there’s a waiting list already. Of course there is.
