Entice Spring

If you’re sick of the rainy weather - like me - then let shoe designer Hetty Rose brighten up these dull days. Her floral designs of the new ready to wear collection are sure to entice Spring a little closer.

Hetty Rose is known for bespoke hand made shoes with suited Japanese names for the designs such as Yuki and Nanami, as the materials used are vintage Japanese kimono fabrics. The new ready to wear collection offers the same quality and style as the bespoke service but between £180 and £205 depending on the design you choose. And there are five to choose from! 

My favourite is the Mami design with a vintage kimono fabric in black and cream with peach flowers, a metallic pink heel and completed with an attractive bow. If you’re looking for something more practical but with a twist then check out the Haruka classic flat or Kiki court shoe.

Now available to order online at www.hettyrose.co.uk

Going GaGa for Vegan Shoes






























We were on the money when we told you about the cute pumps from Beyond Skin. Their flats will keep you going through the day, but we all know that they can't permanently take the place of our beloved heels. Neon Collective understands our dilemma and offers a solution with their site housing many great vegan brands with lots of high heels!

Our former pump favourites have created a vibrant heel with the colourful prints of the Reena. Whilst the patent cream faux leather used in the Bob has been matched with organic denim to produce a pair of shoes that will complement both formal and casual looks.

Endorsed by Cameron Diaz, NY label Olsen Haus have designed a clean cut pair of heels that are ideal for daywear. Available in neon blue of yellow platforms, perfect to inject some colour into your Summer wardrobe. If they're good enough for Hollywood stars, they're good enough for me!

But there's no need to fear if you're still searching for those oh-so-delightful sandals; the vintage sari fabric that makes the ankle-tie sash in the Divinita by Kahailia is guaranteed to make heads turn.

Now's the time to let our footwear shine!
