Block Party

I love the brash, all-out-colour solidness of these shoes by Pierre Hardy. They are so unapologetically scene-stealing!

These bow-bedecked babies that he did as part of a collection for GAP are my real favourites.

Buffed up

Your eyes doth not deceive you.

These chunky, Amazonian creatures are indeed the descendants of those iconic 1990’s giants, the Buffalo platform. The result of a collaboration between Monspoon Saloon and Buffalo, they’re the latest in the towering tumble of platforms to clunk on by.

Thoughts? I spied them on Style Bubble, and I’m almost ashamed to admit they arouse an inkling of Spice World nostalgia in me (sans compulsory Union Jack motif).

Check out the rest of the precarious parade here.

Fall Time

I’m dreaming about boots.

Not the leather, up-the-leg, riding kind. The shearling lined, stack heeled, lace up kind. The kind that evades us entirely in South Africa.

London – I’m a’comin’ for ya.

Here’s a round up of some of the Autumn-ready run arounds I have my eye on, courtesy of ASOS and Topshop.

And the ones that aren’t exactly boots, or exactly Autumnal either, but which cannot be ignored…
