Alexa Chung style in Clarks Originals
If I had to pick my favourite shoe era, it would probably be the 1970s. I am kind of besotted by the idea of chunky wooden platforms, Scholl style sandals and any other summer shoes that are far removed from the Gladiator, strappy style sandals we live in today. And all this probably explains why I am such a fan of Clarks Originals. Alexa Chung is another lady who seems to be at home in the sort of sandals I remember wearing as a little girl. Her feet are constantly adorned with the sensible strapped flat sandals that make you think of scuffed knees and grass stains, and yet just…

Wallis – the perfect summer edit
I have to say I just love the new look Wallis website. I find that I am constantly taking a look at the landing page to see what the latest trends and style stories are, along with the months key buys and offers. Wallis has recently revamped its landing page, which now has a magazine like feel to it. If you visit at the moment you will find ideas for holiday packing, the latest summer drops, the sale link and the Wallis picks for July.

Well, a new shoe boutique has opened in Birmingham’s most beautiful shopping arcade, and is turning the clock back in terms of shoe design. Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce you to Agnes and Norman, now open in Great Western Arcade. The boutique is the first to be opened by award winning Birmingham designer Rachel Simpson.

Glastonbury – Will it be Wellies or Havaianas?
The crowds are already gathering, the tents are being pitched, and today, as is usual for Glastonbury in recent years, the rain has fallen. Because it seems that if there is one thing we can rely on in the UK, it is the weather not living up to its side of the bargain. Festivals are always at their best on balmy nights, but this is Britain, so it pays to be prepared. With all that in mind, it seems that when we think of festival footwear, we are split firmly into two camps. For those hot, sun-soaked days, the shoes of choice can be little more than a pair of…
