I thought there would be less walking now I live in LA, but it turns out I still need comfortable shoes in this city just as much as I did in London. I spent my first few weeks here struggling to find the right shoe style. Jandals (Kiwi for flipflops) or sandals are perfect for around the house and at the beach, but not smart … Continue reading FASHION: Ukies Blue Tango
There was something missing amongst the fashionable crowds at fashion week this year. And that missing thing was complaining – about sore feet. Was it Isabel Marant’s sneakers? Or perhaps the return to atrociously ugly 90s flatforms? Who knows who started the revolution, but it’s official, the flat is back! These pointed slingbacks are a bargain from New Look, available in various colour ways and … Continue reading FASHION: The Flat Is Back
I visited the PURE London exhibition this week to check out some new fashion and accessories ranges. As always it’s hugely overwhelming, filling both floors of the impressive Kensington Olympia venue. There’s so much to see and do I can only pick a few stand highlights to share here and a few snaps from the group Catwalk shows. Full details of all the exhibitors can … Continue reading FASHION: PURE Thoughts

Hey! I got my new shoes on… Perhaps it’s risky to try out new suede shoes on a rainy day in December. But I’m nothing if not rebellious… Continue reading FASHION: Skull Shoes
Bright and bold was the tone for Tuesday morning at the Leutton Postle show, with funky prints, tassels and fun takes on geometry. There were also amazing glittertastic shoes! I also finally had the chance to check out some of the exhibitors at Somerset House, and they were just as excellent as their counterparts at Vauxhall. Sophia Webster’s shoes have set my heart all a … Continue reading FASHION: London Fashion Week Dairy Day Five
As promised I’ve finally posted the outfit that went with my Petra K inspired hair. I’m obsessed with this outfit and have been wearing it far too much! The Yuki Dress is body con but still suitable for work and my Zara coat is the perfect mix of classic and contemporary. As for the shoes… they’re surprisingly comfortable (thanks to the dozens of people who asked if my feet … Continue reading FASHION/PERSONAL STYLE: Zara and Yuki Tokyo
