The Art of Shoe Design... Nicholas Kirkwood


Think that black is always boring?


Add some crazy and beautiful shoes to your plain black dress or jumpsuit to look completely different...


Wear this red leather boots to leave more than one K.O. And the black sandals... Just so funky!


I'll leave you guys with these precious shoes for the weekend... Walking into his Boutique it's like entering an art gallery. Full of colour, different shapes... Full of originality, beauty and design... What else can you ask for?

Have you heard of Roland Mouret yet?

With the inauguration of the new Flagship Store in the heart of Mayfair in February, Roland Mouret has become the designer of all celebrities...



I had the chance to walk in the impressive store, just in front of the Connaught Hotel this morning and... WOW I am absolutely speechless. With a recognisable French, simplistic design, Roland dresses and garments are both, glamourous and sophisticated.

His famous Galaxy dress and tight in the waist, pencil skirt below the knee designs promises a season of both vintage and elegant dressing particularly flattering for those more curvacious, or those who are not so much and would like to bring more attention to their curves.



With a beautiful soft orange/ peach colour dresses, wine and dark red, black... His collection is a classic and a must this season... does this cut seem familiar? All the stores in the high street are imitating this look... Seems like the old is coming back, who would have said that Marilyn Monroe's body stereotype is back on?

Future post on Roland's copy cats in the High St! It's definitely the perfect fit for ALL those occasions where we just want to look spectacular... So may be worth it to have a look at slightly, less pricey garments although, let's face it, there's nothing quite like the original!

Something worth mentioning... His shoes... B E A U T I F U L. It was a surprise for me since I was not looking for the shoes as much as the dresses, but it was a very pleasant surprise and a good discovery. I'm sorry, I have not seen anything similar in any other stores... Just amazing. High, simple, smart, sexy... Definitely worth the originals!!

Hello little miss fabulous...



Dress: Allsaints
Blazer: Topshop
Shoes: Louboutin
Clutch Bag: Balenciaga envelope.

Mini Black Dress... Always so handy for so many occasions. You don't want to look to explosive, or flashy, you just want to look correct. This beautiful Allsaints Dress with pleats, inspired in a vintage style would look great with some colourful shoes and bag. For the Christmas office dinner with all the crew; we are NOT trying to seduce anyone! Just look elegant, but beautiful and show our good sense of fashion! For the lucky ones, these original Louboutins, far from being the typical shoe, they add on to your "vintage" but modern look. Black Blazer, let the shoes be the "main character" of this look. And once again, my very favourite... Balenciaga envelope!! What a beautiful design...

And for the more curvacious or reserved about showing too much skin! (especially in winter...) Here, another idea for a very handy MBD... Very very simple but flattering, easy to pull off, great with the accessories mentioned above... Make the simple, extraordinary...

Talking about... HOT outfits...


Top and blazer: Topshop
Balenciaga envelope
Kurt Geiger heels
Leather trousers: Maje

Leather trousers is THE ultimate! And if they are burgundy... Just, simply, extremely.... sexy.
I like the colour burgundy, love it! so close to red but not yet... slightly more discreet and elegant. You already have spectacular trousers, let's keep the rest in darker colours... But don't be boring! Black as a colour is already very correct, simple/ boring... Make sure it has some cool design, like the beautiful Topshop corset or the amazing sparkly Kurt Geigers and for the clutch... Balenciaga, hey, why not? Stunning and ready to roll...
