We thought we would start a new blogette for you to enjoy every Friday. Our way of giving you a brief insight into what goes on behind the scenes of a shoe designer and to just show you a few things we love from the past week in the life of Rachel Simpson Shoes.

We would love to hear what you love too, especially as it’s Valentine’s weekend coming up and we can’t help but get a little excited that someone, somewhere is planning a big proposal!

Our Friday Loves can be about anything – fashion, celebrities, events, news and even general bric-a-brac that we see, that just makes us smile.

So here’s what we have today…enjoy!

Chignons - fabulous vintage inspired hair do, making a massive comeback this year and looking as timeless as ever (Look Magazine)

Florals - Oh we do so love this new season’s trend – very very girly and just what we need to chase away the winter blues (Heat Magazine)

Gorgeous! – We’re off to this black tie, charity fundraising ball in March and have just received our tickets – there’s nothing nicer than pouring yourself into that fancy frock all in the aid of charity (www.gorgeous2011.co.uk)

Cupcake Purse – A simply delicious and probably totally impractical bit of fun – if it just lives on our desk and makes us grin with the sheer pleasure of a cake that you can put your lipstick in, then that’s fine with us (H&M)
