Well would you believe it, 2013 already? Hope you had an amazing break over the festive period, and managed to relax in between all the relative-visiting/ last minute Christmas shopping/ wrapping/ general chaos (or was that just me?)! We’ve had a lovely week off doing all of the above, and have returned to a super mega busy office this morning!

If you’ve not already, take a peek at our exciting January sale- there really are some bargains, with a mixture of discontinued styles and last chance pairs from only £20! In addition we’re offering an amazing 20% off selected current styles, but this only lasts until Friday 18th January, after which they’ll go back up to full price!

Thanks to all our lovely customers, friends and stockists for a fantastic 2012, and here’s to a rather amazing 2013- we have a feeling it’s going to be exciting..xxx

Oh, and thank you to the gorgeous team for all their hard work. I warned them I’d pop a Christmas do photo here, sorry ladies ! xx

So, if you were a shoe, what kind would it be and why? Don’t worry, I’m not auditioning for a re-launch of Blind Date, just reading an interesting article in Vogue. One of the contributors, Emma Elwick-Bates realises she has had a similar shoe style for years, favouring delicate points, courts and kitten heels. So it got me to thinking, does everyone have a shoe style, or are we more likely to chop and change throughout the week, as the mood takes us?

In the same issue, Franscesca Burns writes of her love for ‘beautifully ugly’ heels, such as Prada’s flatform brogues from last Spring/Summer and anything outlandish, chunky and generally not considered as traditionally ‘pretty’. Over the past ten years (and more), shoes have certainly been come even more of a personal statement than ever before. They’re the fail safe which won’t let you down, despite a bad hair / fat/ lack of confidence day..

It’s certainly true that now, more than ever, there’s a shoe to suit any mood. Whether it’s a killer pair of points for that important presentation at work, or a chunky soled, well worn pair of boots to throw on with your skinnies at the weekend, shoes affect the way you feel some would say more than the outfit these days. Who hasn’t thrown on the reliable little black dress, black tights and a brightly fantastic pair of shoes when they’re having an off day? (Just me then..)

So do we have a shoe personality, or is it purely down to the mood on the day? Take a look down, how are you feeling today? Did you pick the shoes to match your mood or are the shoes there to portray a certain image for today. I’m in my favourite pair of Marilyns in yummy teal suede, from a couple of seasons ago. And black tights. Hmm, perhaps I need that second coffee before facing the day- thank you shoes

We’ve known it for a long time, now it seems the fashion world has joined us in our love of t-bars! Imagine my excitement when I turned the page of yesterday’s ‘i’ newspaper- a whole page of lovely t-bars in all their colourful, strap-adorned glory! Seems the catwalk is going all strappy on us this Autumn and why not- they’re flattering, supportive & stylish, what more could a girl want?

Our little champion Mimi, has been in the collection since the company launched back in 2008. I can still remember the excitement when I drew it, and just knowing it would be popular. It’s so simple, but suits so many different dresses, and looks different at every wedding. We used to offer it in vintage green, lilac and silvery blue- if you could choose a colour for it what would you go for? (Pop on our Facebook page and tell us!)

Other t-bars are the lovely Ginger, whether silver or gold; Emily, who is just too cute; and the stylish Tilly for those who prefer a lower heeled number..

Time for T? Don’t mind if we do..xx
