neosens-S2010-05[1][2][1].jpgWe love finding brands that aren’t really that well known in the UK (makes us feel as though we’re unwrapping a Christmas present) and Neosens has made us feel just that.

The Spanish shoe brand has a range of amazing quality shoes and accessories and has been stocked in Selfridges for a while (that explains why we hadn’t really heard about them). However, it’s just launched a website where we can now view and buy the collections.

And its made it simple for us to find exactly what we’re looking for with the ranges displayed in varying colours. Other special features include a special offers/discounts drop down menu giving customers the chance to preview, sale products.

The shoes may be a little different to what you’re used to, but in our eyes fashion’s all about individuality.

zara.jpgWe love limited edition ranges. Not only do they mean we’ll be less likely to bump into someone wearing the same thing but we also love the thrill of queueing and grabbing the latest limited edition must have.

So you can imagine how excited we are at the news of Zara’s limited-edition sandal.

The 1000 NUMBERED Edition is a high-heel black suede sandal with thick metal chains and comes in a specially-designed box with its own black cloth carrying bag.

But you’d better hurry as there are only 1,000 pairs of the £129 shoes available in 45 cities worldwide. We’ll race you to the checkouts.

Geox launches Empire State Building inspired heels. And yes, they’re high

Geox.JPGWe know some of you will be split over our latest must haves but since we’re on the topic of Sarah Jessica Parker, Sex and The City and heels we couldn’t resist telling you about these new shoes from Geox.

Taking inspiration from New York’s most iconic skyscraper, each of the three limited edition styles is characterised by a 12cm titanium heel, crafted to honour the height and form of the Empire State Building.

The heel, in gold or silver, are appliquéd with rhinestones in several of the shoes, from top to the bottom representing the windows of the skyscraper.

The collection features a choice of open toe or close toe court shoes, and includes a choice of leopard print, purple and blue sequins or black sequins.

We’re sure we’ll be toddling back with a pair from Geox’s UK Flagship store at Long Acre in Covent Garden when we can get our hands on a pair of these limited edition heels. They cost £250 but there’s lots of saving time as they won’t be available until February 2010.

I’ve become a bit of a health fanatic since I started my 7 day detox and with the New Year closing in as quickly as you’re other halves wallet when he sees the £500 bag you want, I’m sure you will too soon embark on one of those resolutions you drunkenly blurted out.

For many the turkey and mince pie fuelled Christmas will be the catalyst for “I’ll join the gym”, where we’ll sign up in January with good intentions, which we hope will continue.

To add to your motivation we’ve put together a gallery of fashionable fitness clothing making you look like a trendsetter on the treadmill.

Christmas party outfits: Flat shoes

By Andrea Petrou on December 3rd, 2009

We don’t know about you, but when we think about Christmas parties the third thing that comes into our mind after drink and dancing is the pain we’ve got from wearing our high heels.

We know heels are an essential part of the Christmas outfit, and we’ve even done a gallery with the best skyscraper heels out there. Yes we know, were glutton’s for punishment.

Although we included a pair of flat shoes in there for after the copious amounts of champagne, there are some girls, who would rather just be comfortable all night. We’ve therefore put together a gallery of the best flat shoes out there, which will ensure you look stylish as well as keeping you comfortable.

Stella McCartney teams up with Morrissey for leather free footwear range

Stella McCartney Switches On Store Christmas Lights

Last week we got a little bit too overexcited at the (incorrect) news regarding a vegetarian clothing collaboration between Stella McCartney and Leona Lewis, and we were crushed when we found out it was just a pesky rumour.

However, another week brings with it another rumour, this time that Stella is teaming up with Morrissey to launch a range of leather free footwear.

We think this partnership is nearly as good as the Leona one, after all Morrissey has a track record of saying no to meat. Not only was his 1985 album entitled Meat Is Murder, but he also bans any food that ‘used to have a face’ from his tours.

In fact he feels so strongly about the cause that earlier this year he also stormed off stage at a music festival because he was so disgusted by the smell of cooking meat from a nearby burger stand.

And it seems this collaboration really is going ahead with Stella telling the Daily Mail last week: “I’m working with Morrissey on a line of leather-free shoes which I’m really excited about.”

The range is still is its early stages but Stella also added it could be ready for next year. We’re going to start saving from now.

Victoria Beckham advised to have foot surgery after years of wearing high heels

David Beckham and James Bond celebrate the launch of Adidas Originals

We knew there was a reason why we stuck to flat shoes most of the time. They may not look as good as heels, and next to our friends who can bear the pain, we’re also a darn sight shorter.

However, at least we won’t have to worry about getting problems like Victoria Beckham.
According to rumours the Spice Girl turned fashion designer, has been advised to have surgery to remove bunions on her feet after years of wearing skyscraper heels.

But despite the warnings Victoria has pulled out every trick on the book, including doing exercises and having insoles put into her shoes, to prevent having the op as it means she won’t be able to wear heels for a good few months.

Now that’s true fashion dedication.

Uggly or a winter winner?

By Andrea Petrou on November 26th, 2009
4 comments

We’ve been split on Ugg boots and similar ever since Lauren bought the fashion to light in her column. Looking at the comments we received and the number of you who Twittered, it seems there’s a divide between those of us who define them as trend and those who think they are tragic.

So we want to get to the bottom of this. We’ve put together a gallery of boots for this year which, we think fall into the love them or hate them category. Take a look at the gallery by clicking on the picture below and then let us know your thoughts by voting.

We look forward to reading your views.

Is the Anna Sui Shakoha Flitflop boot the new Ugg?

By Andrea Petrou on November 25th, 2009
7 comments

Anna.jpgAfter highlighting a number of contenders for the “new Ugg boots”, we think these are currently at the top of the list.

However, the fluffy suede Anna Sui Shakoha FitFlop Boot does more than look good/bad (delete as appropriate).

The limited edition boot offers the boho look all while toning and trimming your legs. Like it’s FitFlop flip flop predecessor, it’s claimed to be biomechanically designed with a patent-pending Microwobbleboard TM Technology to activate your muscles more with every step.

However, for $195 we think we’d rather join the gym.

Lacoste bundle boots keep your feet dry and warm on rainy days

By Andrea Petrou on November 23rd, 2009
1 comment

bundle ns black floro[9].jpgMonday has greeted us with a very wet and murky start to the day, making that commute into work even more of a nightmare than the usual post weekend journey. And we can imagine your feet and shoes are now feeling more like they’ve stepped into the I’m a Celebrity jungle rather than the nice, dry warm ones you set out with this morning.

With weather like this, it’s tempting to dig out those wellies, but we know these will make many of you feel more like you’re going to that festival than to work so we’ve found you a happy medium.

Lacoste has just launched its “Bundle” boot, which is a unique take on the traditional Wellington, and is a perfect piece of footwear for this type of weather.

It comes in 3 colours including Floro Pink, a Black/Floro Mix and a chic Black Gloss and if you hurry down to Office you can snap some up for a bargain £20.

Dress down Friday: Nike Andy Warhol/Marilyn Monroe trainers

Nike.jpgIf you’re looking for casual footwear with an arty difference then you’ll love these limited edition pop art Nike trainers.

The Nike Air Max 90 Andy Warhol/Marilyn Monroe trainer is a perfect accessory to a denim skirt, leggings or skinny jeans, and brings the current 80′s look right into the 21st century.

We love the way Nike has made it’s standard trademark trainer really stand out here, and despite our previous cripes about an air bubble looking too sporty, will definitely invest in these, soon to be one of a kind trainers.

Aldo.jpgDo you ever wish you could be one of those girl’s who steps out with kooky clothes and boots that no-one else has?

Yes there’s many ways to do this but unless you’re a creative patient type, it can sometimes go a bit wrong. That’s why we’re so excited about Aldo’s new shoe range.
