Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. Angulus Shoes / A life-long love begins…
Our obsession with shoes is renowned. We love and adore them more than anything else in our closet.
I’ve never thought too much about the ‘why’ until recently. Watching my little girl take her first steps, followed by weeks of tumbling down; undefeated getting up and trying again; until one day she broke into a fully fledged confident walk. Triumphantly happy. Its a powerful moment. Ultimately it marked the beginning of her independence. Her freedom.
We’ve all experienced this life changing moment, and although we dont remember, perhaps this moment is stamped deep into our subconscious forever. Hence the important place shoes have in our hearts. Is it any wonder Carrie Bradshaw famously “spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live? I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes!”
Once you can walk, you ‘need’ shoes. And then you ‘want’ shoes. All different kinds and styles for all the various types of walking you are going to do.
I think it was Marilyn Monroe that said “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world” so when the time came to get TheMiniOne her first ‘proper’ pair of shoes, it was straight to Angulus
We selected the classic patent Dolly and now have our eyes firmly on this new season Silver metallic Dolly
The Danish brand are renowned for producing high quality shoes. I like their no fuss, no frills approach. And I adore their highly crafted shoes in classic styles. Plus they are designed specifically for precious little soft feet, which can so easily be damaged.
Here’s the science bit: “Founded in 1904 by doctors and physiotherapists, Anugulus shoes have been created with a rounded toe to allow children’s feet room move and grow with their natural muscular development. They are made from the softest calf leather to ensure comfort and durability. With hard wearing natural crepe rubber soles”
Buy Angulus from expert retailers and ‘feet-fitters’
Stop-You-in-The-Street Skincare / MVO Marie Veronique Organics
Yesterday ‘THE’ most unlikely thing happened to me. A gorgeous young blond walked up to me in the street and said “Excuse me, but your skin looks amazing.”
I was speechless. I wouldnt have believed it even happend, only for my friend heard it too! They said ‘wow that doesnt happen everyday’.
I dont have that beautiful dewy perfect skin we all lust after. I dont even have a ‘proper’ beauty routine. My crazy busy lifestyle doesnt help either, long hours in front of a screen, on and off planes, a busy toddler, a Nespresso habit, the ‘occasional’ martini or two ;) I dont drink (have time) for 2ltrs of water daily. In fact nothing I do helps my skin.
So all I can put it down to is MV Organics All the credit must go to this miracle working skincare range. I discovered MV Organics at the Spa in the Solage Napa and I’ve been pretty much using it since.
I’ve been using the ‘Everyday Essentials’ Steps 1 - 4 and loving it. Especially the ‘Exfoliating Cleanser’ it just feels wonderful to use and my skin feels soft and lush. By Step 4 my skin feels so well looked after and nourished and all those lovely things you feel after you’ve had a facial.
The ‘Pacific Treatment’ range is a future beauty classic. Its jam-packed with ”Everything you need to hit the reset button on aging and regain your youthful glow.” The Pacific Topical Marine Treatment won Elle’s ‘Beauty Genius Award 2013’ Next on my list to try!
California is renowned for its dewy skinned beauties and I’m beginning to think that MVO have managed to bottle that Californian magic. Hell if I get stopped in the street and told my skin looks good, there must be some magic in there.
