The Sunday Times Style ran a very good article on career blogging this weekend, featuring quotes from Liberty London Girl, Susie Bubble and a tiny one from me. Once I get around to scanning the article, I’ll post it on Facebook. (more…)
A UK festival in July is simply not complete without an hourly downpour and a pair of wellies welded to the feet. Hunters are the boot du jour for the fashion set, but MoovBoots are also worth investigating as they have very handy sheepskin linings. (more…)
What is the deal with the Michael Kors watch phenomenon? Everywhere I look there’s another small wrist encircled by an oversized gold Kors disc. Beauty PRs and fashion assistants absolutely love them, as do twenty-something city girls. (more…)
I wrote about walkable Loubutins last year for Lyst but had never been able to pin down Sofia Coppola’s exact model. (The press office deduced that these were an old style – typical.) Instead, I’ve discovered the next best thing, the Mistica, which has a sensible 60mm heel and low cut toe box. Obviously, the flash of red on the sole is what gives these their va va voom. Without, it would leave a rather plain court shoe but I guess that’s the power of the Louboutin signature for you! Mistica is a great shoe for daytime power meetings if you want a bit of elevation but don’t have a Wintour-style town car at your disposal. I’d wear them with my Club Monaco 7/8th trousers and a 3.1 Phillip Lim blouse.
Alas, I can’t find these online in the UK (Louboutin’s ecomerce operation is in the planning stages) but you can buy from the US Louboutin site or from Harrods (£375).
