Celebrity shoe trends for Spring
When it comes to looking at celebrity shoe trends, there always seems to be a pattern – that the shoes they wear, particularly on the red carpet, as strictly for those who travel everywhere by chaffeur driven limo. Vertiginous heels that are designed to give you vertigo, Louboutins that require you to sell a kidney in order to afford them, or some sort of strange creation that frankly defies gravity – not the sort of thing you are going to be wearing to the supermarket or whilst doing the school run.

Olivia Palermo – Key picks for Coast
The Fashion Weeks have come and gone, and, once more, the lady who’s style we’ve all been admiring has been Olivia Palermo. When you ask that age old question ‘Does she ever get it wrong’, the answer always seems to be no when it comes to Olivia’s wardrobe. She is a style icon who understand the importance of style over fashion, working with classic pieces and creating her own trends that look effortless, but actually take a lot of work.
