Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. Angulus Shoes / A life-long love...

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.

••HolidayShoes••

How is it possible that a toddler that can just about walk have more shoes for her holiday than me.

This line up doesn’t even include the pair she is actually wearing. Her favs ‘Patent Dolly’ by Angulus

In the line up we have
DVF for Gap, Zara fluro-sandals, Crocs*(Please see footnote) Converse and Petit Manoles espadrilles.

Get from:

Little Fashion Gallery
UKGap
Office Shoes
Igloo Kids
Selfridges

Footnote: *Crocs: you all know, and most of you share my view on the U.G.L.I.E.S.T shoe on the planet. There is no excuse for A.N.Y.O.N.E over the age of 12 to E.V.E.R. E.V.E.R wear these, under A.N.Y. circumstances Toddler & kid versions are just fine though.

GKFW

The first of its kind took place in London 2 weeks ago.

And like any proper fashion show ‘WHO’ is sitting on the FROW is just as important as what comes down the catwalk. GKFW didnt disappoint with a mix of hip models, aristocracy, actresses, wags and cool musicans. We spotted some serious fashion everything from Chanel to CHLOE, Maje to Michael Kors. Louboutinto Nickolas Kirkwood.

On the FROW were :
Model Portia Freeman, who as an ambassador for GKFW was present everyday. Across the days we spotted her in Chloe’s spring pastels and Michael Kors red/black striped 7/8th trousers with towering heels. We love the fact that, as the evening wore on she slipped into a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo ‘Vara’ pumps. Her husband, who I was practically rubbing elbows with is Pete Denton of the Kooks. I have no idea about whos-who in the music biz.

Actress Bodil Blain and her daughter were papped as they jumped out of a cab, then inside her daughter legged it across the catwalk mid show to Jemma & Jodie Kidd. Jodie’s handsome little fella Indio was trying to join the catwalk & Jodie spent most of her time trying to wrestle him to a seat.

Actress Camilla Rutherford, who we saw later that same night presenting an award at the Rodial Beauty Awards

Saskia Boxford had a to-die-for pair of Nicholas Kirkwood. .

As always, Emily Evans owner of 9London looked effortlessly cool in Chanel and Jimmy Choo’s.

Pippa Vosper, naturally looked striking throughout the course of the weeks events.

Louise Nichol of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia @BazaarArabia editor-in-chief and former editor of Grazia Middle East looked impossibly gorgeous and was there with her tiny new baby and husband. Blogger Heidi Raeside founder of Tuesday’s Child was also there rocking laid back style. While Olcay Gulsen of SuperTrash fame looked uber cute. Uber stylist Bay Garnet was also there with her kids.

Alex&Alexa’s own Senior Buyer, Vanessa Benedict caught out eye in her stylish take on the tux. She looked excellent in Maje and Sergio Rossi heels.

Post show everyone sipped champagne whilst listening to a set by model Amber Le Bon, who also entertained us later at the Rodial Awards, where she picked up an award for her Mother Yasmin from Melissa Odabash.

The kiddos jumped in the photo-booth(as did we later on!) and had their nails painted at the Little Bu pop-up salon. Ate fresh popcorn and treats from Pret.

There was a host of other beautiful people making GKFW a must event.
