Clarks and Liberty Arts Prints – they’re back!
One of my favourite collaborations last year was the one between Clarks shoes and Liberty Arts prints. The coming together of two classic British brands was a major success, combining the exquisite retro prints from Liberty, with Clarks great and durable design. Well, the great news is that a new collection has just been launched, with the emphasis very much on the court shoe. There are two major designs currently, the peep toe and the suede full court shoe. Each has a mid height heel, making them perfect as a very stylish work shoe, and there are both patent leather and suede designs available. Also in the collection are a…

Rupert Sanderson at Spartoo
Be still my beating heart! That genius of shoe design, Rupert Sanderson, is now at my fave online shoe retailer, Spartoo, and I must admit that I am so excited. The man who combines the best of Italian craftsmanship with his own unique, and often avant-garde design is one of my favourite designers. And with awards such as the British Fashion Councils Accessory Designer of the year and Elle’s Style Award for best accessory designer, this is clearly a man who understands that an outfit often stands and falls on the ability to choose the right footwear. Spartoo is currently playing host to a whole range of Rupert’s amazing shoes,…

Rosamund Pike shines for LK Bennett
That very beautiful English Rose, actress Rosamund Pike, has become the face of LK Bennett, and I think she is just the perfect choice. LK Bennett is full of classic, stylish and elegant pieces, and there is no doubt all those words could also be used to describe the actress who has been able to show versatility in a career that has taken her from being a Bond girl (Die another Day), to period drama (a wonderfully romantic Jane Bennett in Joe Wright’s Sense and Sensibility), and the both tragic and comic Helen in one of my favourite films – ‘An Education’. The new LK Bennett collection is all about…

Reviewed – Clarks Nessa Clare Boots
Like a lot of ladies who enjoyed some sport when they were younger, I have rather large calf muscles, which makes buying calf length and knee High boots a challenge. So when I was asked to review a pair of boots from Clarks, I immediately opted for a pair from the K range, which have wider E fittings and a wider leg fitting. The boots I chose were the gorgeous Nessa Clare in black patent. These are a classic riding style boot with a practical flat heel that makes them perfect for everyday use. The black patent finish also gives them a slightly dressier feel, as does the striking ankle…

Have a shoe studded Christmas
If your idea of serious party dressing involves footwear that the label ‘fierce’ was created for, then step right this way. Jeffrey Campbell is the King of creating weird and wonderful shoes and boots that could also double as a protective weapon if you found yourself in a sticky situation. Heels that could be mistaken for sky scrapers, studs reminiscent of the punk fashions of 1977 and wedge shapes that seem to be defying gravity, Jeffrey Campbell shoes are not for the faint hearted. But they are totally beloved by the A list fashionistas, with Madonna, Alexa Chung and Beyoncé just some of the lovely ladies whose feet have been…
