Shoe love: the perfect brogues

Hi guys,
I may not be dancing around my living room like a far-too-chirpy penguin, but I have definitely got Happy Feet! My new Love Moschino brogues with the heart stud details from Sarenza have just arrived, and I am completely in love with them!

They were reduced by 30% in the sale, making them £160 rather than £229. And I don't think it would be an exageration to say they are my dream shoes. Although I love them, the fact is that I rarely wear heels during the day anymore: I just can't stand the discomfort when my day is already too busy and full of other things to think about. I tend to slip into my black pumps that match everything, but aren't exactly fashion-forward. So these comfortable brogues covered in attention grabbing gold heart-shaped studs (perfect for matching to all my jewellery and my two favourite handbags) are guarenteed to fit into my wardrobe perfectly, and make my everyday feet look a little more fashionable.

One of the best things about getting new shoes is mentally shopping your wardrobe for things you can team with them to create the perfect outfit and show them off!

I for one, will be very disappointed when the trend for masculine footwear disappears. Why should boys get all the comfy feet fun?! It's lovely to be able to run for the bus or spend hours scooting around the shops without having to worry about my ankles aching, or worse still, breaking them!

The Sarenza sale is still on, with up to 60% off and loads of great styles still available, so why not pop over and check it out? You never know, you might find your dream pair of shoes too!

Love, Tor xxx

Hello blogosphere,

Well, they didn't give Kristin Chenoweth an Emmy so my entourage and I stormed out fairly early on in the ceremony. I was disappointed indeed to note the lack of monkey dresses on the Red Carpet. Hollywood needs to catch up quick-smart to my style acumen or risk looking hopelessly passe. Still: 4 good (or at least a little interesting) ones:

Christina Hendricks ("Mad Men")


America Ferrera ("Ugly Betty")


Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men)

Laura Dern

You'll notice I'm giving "Mad Men" props to two cast members. This is an example of media bias. To be honest, Christina Hendricks is the only one of all these who gives me chills and it's mostly boob-related. America Ferrera is doing vintage glam of which Wigmore also approves (plus, red lipstick, people. Live it. Love it.)

You'll see also that we've got the lovely Peggy Olsen (or to call her by her earth name - Elisabeth Moss). She's working the red lip and her own special brand of glorious frump. I'm obsessed with Hollywood jolie-laide. It's a real rarity and I love her so much for it. Laura Dern is included cuz a pockets. Love me some gown pouches and on a David Lynch lady to boot.

But p'eh. Still, you don't look at the Emmys and expect Vogue Italia. 48% less nipple for a start. If you want someone who's actually good at this stuff see Red Carpet Fashion Awards. The woman who runs that is some bizarre Yoda of catwalk and she'll analyse and critique beyond your wildest dreams.

Speaking of catwalk and a lack of monkeys, I'm noticing a curious proliferation of anamorphisation. Who'd a thought the Spring/Summer 09 would so zoo-ey?

This all pleases me no end. It's funny how a horned shoe can make a person immediately lighter of heart. I just hope Prada does something with wombats. My trend spotting spidey-sense is telling me that their moment is nigh...

Look at him. In Milan, everyone travels by ten-year-old girl.

Love,
