Wedged


For the girls, this season is all about the wedge. They provide the perfect combination of class and functionality, effortlessly
dressing up any outfit.


These intricately detailed babies from DVF - are perfect coupled with this season's must, the jumpsuit. - £260

These canvas and cork wedges from Chloe come in at a face-numbing £450, but keep an eye out for cheaper imitiations, (see below £45 - Asos) they are the epitome of chic functionality, a must have summer item.

This post is hardly loan friendly, however, for less than either the Chloe or the DVF pairs, Topshop Unique, have come up with the perfect all-rounder, at £150, these are heardly cheap either, but just look at them.

This fusion of the trainer with the wedge heel works a charm, the perfect daytime city shoe.






3am Craving



It's 3am, the student loan is running close to the overdraft line, yet still here i sit, trawling through ebay for a bargain purchase.

Today's want involves a unlikely mixture of sheepskin and cuffed, high waisted shorts, obviously the two aren't going together, but sometimes it's nice to think about summer and winter at the same time. It puts things into perspective, and doesn't let your expectations of the British Summer get too high.



The desire for sheepskin manifests itself pretty similarly to above (the model above in the blue is a guy called Kirill Vasilev, who i met over a cigarette backstage at London Fashion Week) in the form of boldly utile winter warmth. This is the Topman Design's A/W 2010/11 collection, which i anticipate to cost just over an arm and a leg. So on the hunt i go. Watch out for the high collars and oversized shirts, they're coming and they're going to be big.


Want/Need number two, the shorts, yes we're in a 'mini heatwave' and apparently I'm bored of all the shorts i own. I tell myself this quite often (not just about shorts either), possibly because I really am, more probably because I would greatly like to go out an buy a new pair. This summer's short, that i have decided upon, therefore must exist somewhere, is a harem-esque, high waisted short, with cuffed legs, right above my knee. So, to the hunt.
