I can’t resist animal print shoes!
There was a time when I hated any sort of animal print with a passion. All it conjured up in my mind was tacky images of Bet Lynch behind the bar of the Rovers Return, resplendent in beehive and leopard print, closely followed by another corrie legend, Liz MacDonald, another classy, brassy looker. But those animal print hating days seem a long time ago now. These days I love any sort of animal print or skin. from leopard and cheetah, to zebra prints and even a little bit of snake. This has become the chicest of prints, whether you wear it in your clothing, or just keep it for shoes…

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…

Glastonbury – Will it be Wellies or Havaianas?
The crowds are already gathering, the tents are being pitched, and today, as is usual for Glastonbury in recent years, the rain has fallen. Because it seems that if there is one thing we can rely on in the UK, it is the weather not living up to its side of the bargain. Festivals are always at their best on balmy nights, but this is Britain, so it pays to be prepared. With all that in mind, it seems that when we think of festival footwear, we are split firmly into two camps. For those hot, sun-soaked days, the shoes of choice can be little more than a pair of…

Pick of the beach bags from Spartoo
It’s almost June, and, as far as I’m concerned, that means holiday season will soon be upon us. I’m getting ready to jet off myself at the end of the month, and am already sorting out my holiday wardrobe, shoes and sandals, and accessories. And one of the most important accessories is the beach bag. Think about it. Whilst on holiday, you use your beach bag almost every single day, whether you are heading off to the beach, or planning to lounge around the pool. It needs to be big enough to carry a towel, suntan lotion, book, sunglasses, purse, and all manner of other things we carry around with…

End of the Month Shoe Lust
Tomorrow will be the 1st of May, so for many of you, today is the last day of the month, and that means payday, and the time for a special treat! This is probably why, after browsing on shoe websites for a couple of hours, I felt a real compulsion to theoretically fill my virtual basket with the sort of shoes that I would buy if money was no object. Shoes are a bit of an addiction for me. I have more pairs than I need, many of them that never get worn, being too small, too big, too uncomfortable, too tight or too high. But I would never part…
