Grab a bargain designed by the ‘Rock and Roll Cobbler’
Popular shoe retailers Spartoo are fast becoming the place to find the best bargains in terms of designer shoes. Last month I showed you that you the fabulous range of Rupert Sanderson shoes that you could purchase for a fraction of their suggested retail price, and this month I’m turning my gaze towards the ‘Rock and Roll Cobbler’, the one and only Terry De Havilland. Terry De Havilland has been making extraordinary shoes beloved of the stars since the 1960s, with Kate Moss, The Saturdays, Melanie C, Sienna Miller and Mischa Barton, amongst others, being huge fans of his Margaux wedges. Terry’s shoes always have a touch of the dramatic…

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,…

Duchess Kate wears Roksanda Ilincic to the Royal Academy
The Duchess of Cambridge summer wardrobe of style continued today, with two appearances by Kate, at the equestrian event to support Zara Philips (who was superb by the way…), and then at an event at The Royal Academy she wore a beautiful dress by one of my favourite designers, Roksanda Ilincic. But first to the equestrian ground. Kate was in casual mode, wearing the gorgeous Smythe blazer that we first saw during the tour of Canada last summer. Skinny jeans, the Stuart Weitzman wedges and a crisp white shirt completed the look, which had a very preppy edge to it. Every girl needs a smart blazer in their wardrobe, Kate…

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. Because Hush Puppies have seen a style revolution in recent years, and have emerged with some seriously stylish contemporary looks. Funky sandals,…

Adding leopard print to your wardrobe with Wynsors shoes
I adore animal print. It is a celebrity style worn by everyone from Kate Moss to Paris Hilton, along with such fashionistas as Rachel Bilson, Ginnifer Goodwin and Chloe Sevigny. Leopard print is a style classic that emerges every season, whether in the form of form-fitting dresses made for the red carpet, or scarves and pashminas worn as part of off-duty celebrity looks. One of the most effective ways of adding animal print to your wardrobe is in the form of shoes. Leopard print heels and platforms can add interest to a little black dress, whilst cute wedges are a great summer staple. I was recently introduced to Wynsors world…
