Weathering the storm – grab your Wedge Wellies
I’ve been a little obsessed with Wedge Wellies since I first spotted them on Dragon’s Den. The idea of a stylish Wellington boot that could also offer the height, and the glamour of a wedge heel was something that really appealed to the side of me that hates flat shoes. In the years since that Dragon’s Den episode, the not so humble boots have moved on from strength to strength. And, with the UK facing some extreme weather conditions this week involving the possibility of flooding, it seems appropriate to pay tribute to the force of shoe nature that is the Wedge Welly. Wedge Wellies offer so much in the…

New Season FitFlops
Ever since Joe, my four-year-old, started school, I have found myself doing more and more walking. I’ve found that I actually enjoy being in the great outdoors and getting around as much as possible by foot. In addition, school holidays are often spent chasing after a bike, being stuck in goal or generally traipsing around an assortment of zoos, museums and theme parks.

All this walking and running around is playing havoc with my feet, especially as I’ve never been sensible in the shoe department. I prefer heels whenever possible, having never learned my lesson…

(You can read that original post here.) Earlier this month I was invited to the fabulous Birmingham Bullring store to examine what Ugg Australia had in store for us this season. Last year there has been a style emphasis on New York, with definite retro nods to the 1970s. This season, Ugg has traveled…

Getting excited about new season boots
I don’t mind admitting that while I hate winter with a passion, I do get excited about new trends and fashion. And one of the things I get really excited about are new season boots. I know that some people do wear boots in Summer (and quite frankly, where would we be most summer’s without our Hunter Wellies), but I am most definitely a person who holds off wearing boots until the leaves start to fall. I’m sure you’ll agress, looking out of the window the last couple of days, that now is most definitely boot weather. One of my favourite shoe retailers Spartoo always comes up trumps when it…
