5 Random fashion irritations
Having a quiet day today, baba is having a sleep, giving me the chance to flick through Heat, Grazia and Look, and to have a sound off about a few random fashion irritations that annoy me on a regular basis. People who wear winter boots, particularly Uggs, in Summer. Give your trotters a bit of an airing while you can.
