You would probably need to have been living on the moon or planet Mars not to know that last week was a very special one for Birmingham. Grand Central Birmingham had its official opening and is already proving to be a huge success, not least because of its amazing flaghip John Lewis store. I went along on Thursday to the opening and was just so impressed with how lovely it really is, and from the thousands of people who descended on the city last weekend, and the huge buzz you could feel everywhere, I guess I am not the only one. The John Lewis store is bright and vibrant, with…

Bespoke, beautiful sandals from K. Jacques

One of the reasons given for this was that was that many parents feel the route between…

First it was the shoes that made grown women drool like babies. Sleek, skyscraper heels with an unmistakable red sole. Next it was the nail polish, in that same shade of deep rouge, with packaging that just screamed glamour and decadence.

Boden – The new Shoes
I saw a very funny picture yesterday that was emblazoned with the statement ‘It is ok to love your shoes more than you love most people’. I would say that when the shoes in question are Boden’s new season stock, this becomes an absolute statement of fact. Take a look at the gorgeous array of footwear below and tell me in all honesty – have you ever seen anything more gorgeous? In recent years Boden have become synonymous with shoes that you have to have in your collection. Each season they have an ‘it shoe’ that the media and bloggers alike just seem to go crazy about. I’ve already seen…
