End of the Month Shoe Lust
Tomorrow will be the 1st of May, so for many of you, today is the last day of the month, and that means payday, and the time for a special treat! This is probably why, after browsing on shoe websites for a couple of hours, I felt a real compulsion to theoretically fill my virtual basket with the sort of shoes that I would buy if money was no object.

Get the Look featuring Duchess of Cambridge, Christa Allen and Kaela Humphries
Here are some of the latest Celebrity looks that have caught my eye this week. Some of these are the actual item that has been worn by the celeb, whilst others are ideas of how you can achieve a similar look at a fraction of the price. We start with Kate Middleton, who has introduced a touch of Spring into her wardrobe with a beautiful mint tweed coat from Mulberry. This is available from Selfridges and is featured here, but I have also selected a few other mint jackets from Debenhams and Reiss to show this is a key colour this season.

Monochrome chic from Evans
Despite the fact that I am one of the greatest advocates of colour in your wardrobe, there is something undeniably chic about monochrome. Classic black and white will always be a wardrobe staple, something that is perfect for you work outfits, glamorous for important occasions like a day at the races, a family wedding or a black tie event. Timeless and classic, black and white outfits stay in the wardrobe forever, the colour combo never goes out of style and will always be a fashion failsafe. This season, Evans have made monochrome a key part of its Spring/Summer collections, and have shown its versatility. There are cute, fun prints with…
