A few weeks ago I blogged about catching the ‘Christmas Lurgy‘, where seemingly intelligent and sane people become in a frantic panic over Christmas from around September!

Before the December mayhem ensues and we all catch this Christmas Lurgy, I have been reminded of a quote from one of my favourite writers, the much loved Dr Seuss.

One colour to wear this Autumn / Winter that was all over the catwalks is purple. This gorgeously bright and versatile ultraviolet colour was seen among many designers such as Channel, Dior, Erdem, Prada and Gucci to name but a few.

The Size of Your Bag

When I go out I carry a massive bag with me. The word handbag doesn’t fit in my world; hiker’s backpack is closer to the mark. I could use the excuse that as a mother to a toddler I need to keep spare changes of clothes, wipes, nappies, snacks, the kitchen sink… But who am I kidding? Most of the junk found in my ‘handbag’ actually belongs to me. I simply cannot pack light.

Flatties or Heels … That is the question!

Any regular readers will know that I really love my heels but of late, I have started to appreciate the beauty of a flatttie. Whilst a flattie is great if I am shopping or spending the day walking to and from meetings, I never ever feel ‘dressed up’ if I am wearing flat shoes, whereas heels can instantly make me feel glam and sexy even if I am only wearing them with jeans.

I’ve been looking online at the best flats around to see how they compare with the heeled version and would love to know your thoughts. Here we have 3 classic trends:

The shoes which are being previewed for Autumn / Winter 2012 are absolutely stunning and I have had many enjoyable hours browsing the latest designs to see what trends we can all expect to hit the high street if we are not quite able to stretch to a designer budget.

Wow we have actually had a taste of Summer here in the UK, that mixed with the excitement of the up and coming Jubilee celebrations and the Olympic torch making its way around the country, things are looking up!

To celebrate I have put together the perfect summer outfit to take a stroll around the park, enjoy Pimms on the croquet lawn or for a Summer wedding. The outfit reminds me of a gorgeous ice cream sundae.

Flat Hunting

I am a self confessed heel lover, almost every pair of shoes I own have at least a 5cm heel. However, recently I have seen some really cute pumps which I feel may be able to convert me out of my heels and into flats!

As much as I adore heels, practically flatties are so much better for a long day shopping, travelling or if you work on your feet so I have been on a hunt to find some of the prettiest flats around.

Last weekend saw the world’s glitziest celebs put their best foot forward to celebrate the 54th Grammy awards. Although they were heavily overshadowed by the death of Whitney Houston, the stars still managed to shine. Here are a collection of some of the finest and worst outfits worn that night, obviously with a special focus upon the shoes that were on show!
