Wedge trainers oui ou non?


I keep seeing this style of shoe on people and looking at them enviously as I am either hobbling in heels or flat footed in trainers.
These strike a good combination between comfort, fashion and that all important leg lengthening that helps to rock any outfit.
The Ash ones bring back memories of Ginger Spice c. 1992, but the more that I see them, the more they are calling me to buy a pair.
It was love at first sight with the ASOS own version, which are conveniently cheaper, although with hindsight a little less comfortable than the Ash ones.
Now we are well and truly back in Winter, I might splash out on a second pair.











The top is the Intermezzo ballet top and the sports vest from Adidas.
The jeans are skinny from Next, another age 15 pair (so only £18), but this time less successful as the waist is much larger than on the previous white ones.
The portfolio is a vintage LV it is divided into sections and perfect for filing.

Pretending the sun is shining...

On Saturday we were committed to a whole day outside, regardless of the weather, there would be no shelter and a minimum of 6 hours on a cricket pitch. I was torn between a cagoule, trainers and fleece trousers and dressing in the expectation of sunshine.  As my mother always says, if you expect a child to behave it will live up to it and so perhaps the same is true of the weather.
I went for all out sunshine in a Temperley top, this is meant to be a dress, although it must be for someone of fairy like delicate proportions.
These jeans are my new big find, they are age15 from Next (so VAT free hurrah! and fit better than any of my J Brand or 7 for all Mankind, which are slowly being sold off on Ebay as I am now being merciless in my  culling of jeans that do not fit just as they should).
The bag is from Anya Hindmarch and the jacket Zara, I was heading to Tonbridge in Kent, so I had to tick all the right boxes, nothing too revealing or too fashion forward and no logos!
