What’s on Your Feet?
You can tell a lot about a man by the shoes he wears. Does he wear stylish, elegant shoes that match his refined appearance? Or does he wear uncouth, chunky dress shoes from the sale rack? Are they polished and fresh, or scuffed, creased, and worn out? Now, we can’t all have personal cobblers and shoeshines following us around, this isn’t Downton Abbey after all, but there are steps you can take to ensure that your shoes are well-loved and taken care of to preserve them for the long haul.

Clarks Originals – still a style classic
When it comes to a shoe that is also a design classic, you would have to look a long way to beat the Clarks Desert boots. This year, the iconic boot is celebrating 65 years since the first pair went on sale, and they are looking as good as ever. This is the shoe (ok boot) that was beloved of the Mods, the Rudeboys, and claims to be the world’s most traveled boot. It can never be anything but the height of cool.

The site carries branded items from the likes of French Connection, Penguin, Joe Browns and Lambretta, as well as a collaborative range with Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff. I have to admit I was really impressed by the wide choice available. Unfortunately, a family holiday made the review virtually impossible…

Win! With White Stuff and Fashion-Mommy.
As regular Fashion-Mommy readers know, I’m a huge fan of White Stuff, the British High Street brand with an emphasis on quality and originality. I have been lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the Winter collection that will be hitting stores later this month and have to say it is absolutely gorgeous. Warm, cosy and with an emphasis on the sort of chunky knits that have you dreaming of snowy days, I think White Stuff clearly has another winning collection on its hands. The images above are from the White Stuff Winter magalogue, the White Stuff version of a catalogue, that comes complete with stories that turn it…
