Check out these amazing Hush Puppies from Schuh
Hands up if you’ve heard of Hush Puppies? I can bet that almost all of you reading this are holding your arm aloft in the air as we speak. Hush Puppies are a British institution, having been established in 1958, and still going strong almost 55 years later. But for all of you imagining some geeky science teacher in her lace ups, or, perish the thought, Barbara Woodhouse shouting sit in her sensible skirt and Hush Puppies (shudders!), you may be in for the most pleasant of suprises.

Super success for the Schuh and Newlife collaboration.
Remember in May I told you about the super scheme running between Schuh and Newlife?

NEWLIFE and SCHUH – Putting their best foot forward.
Question – How many pairs of shoes do you own. If you’re like the average women in the UK, chances are you will own between 40-60 pairs of shoes. If, like Fashion-Mommy, you’re not exactly average, the chances are you will own even more than that, possibly even moving towards a three figure amount. Women are passionate about shoes, but we own a great many pairs that we never actually wear. There are the impulse buys, the ones that are wrong size, those that hurt our feet too much to be worn for long, the wrong colour, those we bought for a wedding and have worn just once. Well, if…
