I love a good bit of sparkle and shine so the magpie in me is always drawn to the new Gina collections. Some might say that so many Swarovski crystals are too much for AW but their brilliance against the season's 'in' colours works perfectly. I particularly love Rianna for ...

Today I was reminded why I shouldn't open my email: Charlotte Olympia emailed to say that there were new arrivals from the Fall '12 collection online. Less than a minute later I was working out just how much money I would need to acquire a good half of the collection ...
It'll soon be September and that means Olympia Beauty which is bound to decimate my bank balance. I'm looking to raise some money to buy pretty new shiny things and so I've cleared out my polish stash, reluctantly boxed up some of my pairs of shoes and am offering them ...
When Next invited us to their Mummy Bloggers' event they sent us a gift voucher to buy clothes to wear on the day. As the boys have about as much appreciation of fashion as I do of football, I bought them t-shirts and decided the rest of the voucher would be ...
I have a dilemma: I've bought an outfit for a Next blogger event but I'm torn between the style of shoe to wear with it. I snagged all these pieces in the Next sale on Saturday morning. I was one of the crazies in Guildford Next at 05:00 in the ...
Last week I attended John Lewis' Christmas in July - a chance to preview a slice of their Christmas gift collection. Luckily the show wasn't overly Christmasy because that would've just felt weird in the middle of the (supposed) summer.
There will be some goregous decorations available this year which will ...
Lollipops have introduced a range of beautifully embellished sandals, perfect to compliment your summer wardrobe.
I know I'm not exactly know for my love of flats but since I've been at home all week I've really gotten used to wearing them. Let's say that it's not easy to run after the ...
Last week I made the none too pleasant drive through rush hour traffic all the way to Bluewater for the opening of the new Crocs concept store.
Now you know me: I'm vehemently against Crocs. All that brightly coloured rubber Croslite in the unattractive hole-filled clogs. Ugh! So why did I ...
There are four words I dread appearing in my inbox: 'Sale at Kurt Geiger'. Now why does a shoe addict dread those words. I'll tell you. It means money. The Kurt Geiger brands are one of my very big shoe weaknesses and of the 40 something shoes I wanted to ...
Since I've been at home I've barely even looked at my pairs of heels, let alone worn any of them. Heels just aren't practical when running around after kids. I've gotten quite used to wearing flats and actually started developing a love of them. Yes, I know, the heel addict ...
Now that summer seems to have finally arrived it's time to bring out your summer heels and wedges. If you're anything like me, although you've already got plenty of pairs to choose from you still need more.

Lucianna Wedges by Ugg, £140.00
Gloria Sandals by Carvela, £170.00

Yesterday I hopped on a train up to the big smoke (literally, now the sun has made an appearance) and took a walk across Waterloo Bridge to Somerset House for the Next AW12 Preview. And yes, before you mention it, I do see the irony of viewing winter collections during ...

Last winter, the shoe collection I was most excited about for SS12 was the Desigual New&Good collection. From the moment I saw samples at the SS12 preview I knew I would want each and every shoe in the collection. New&Good is Desigual's first collection of footwear but ...
Us ordinary folk might be feeling the pinch, but is seems that financial dire straits isn’t something that burdens our favourite fashion-forward celebs. And this is never more evident in their outlandish footwear choices, writes our John Lewis style spotter.

I woke up this morning and the sun was out. At last! These Mulberry Patent-leather wedge sandals would be perfect for a day like today but you know what, the first thing I thought when I saw them was how we'll they'd go if I painted my toes with Nails Inc Notting ...
Last weekend was Carnaval in Brazil and I've seen some amazing pictures from the parades. Cesare Paciotti may be Italian but he's certainly gotten into the Carnaval spirit with the Embellished heeled sandal. Dancers making their way down along the Rio Sambadrome will be dancing non stop for up to 82 ...
Did you see those gorgeous shoes Jamie Chung wore to the 13th Annual Warner Bros. and InStyle Golden Globe Awards After Party last month? What a riot of colour and they worked so well with the nude dress she wore. The shoes are called Popsicle and come from Ruthie Davis' SS12 collection. The ...
I thought I'd left camouflage firmly back in the 90s and my young sons' wardrobes but these Pink patent leather and canvas wedge sandal are surprisingly attractive. They are the result of a collaboration between Dior and Berlin based artist Anselm Reyle. Just be careful what you team them with; camouflage is ...
We've already seen some gorgeous pastel colours from Kurt Geiger for Spring/Summer so it's no surprise that Carvela is following suit with the candy coloured Assemble. Personally I'm ready for pastels this summer. Brights are great but you do get bored after a while. Plus, how could anyone resist such ...
Last week I was wandering along Oxford Street indulging in a little window shopping when these black polka dot tie platform courts caught my eye. It wasn't the first time I'd seen them having lusted over them at the Next SS12 preview however this was the first time I'd managed to slip ...
