Having recently been lucky enough to take a trip to the New York city, I could not resist the chance to pop along to one of the Couture fashion shows that was showing nearby. My trip was short for 3 days, so I only had change with my schedule to see a show on the Friday late afternoon. However I really enjoyed what was on offer! The 4pm show consisted of Helen Oro and Lourdes Atencio, as well as Alma NYC dancers and and singer Vanessa Cruz. For me Lourdes stole the show with her beautiful designs and spicy music compilation. Her designs were elegant and feminine, with beautiful silks and chiffons walking down the runway.
One little gem was defiantly the pre-teen model on the show. She walked with elegance and that of a runway model many years her senior. This lady, is one to watch. If you lucky enough to be near New York, please go and check out the rest of the shows! For everyone else, you should be gearing up for London fashion week, I’m now back in London and excited for what will be shown!

Spring is in the air with Yull shoes floral collection
Spring is now finally in the air.. or sort of, if you squint really hard over the London horizon. But if you want to bring the sunshine out even more through sheer willpower and positive actions we recommend investing in a pair of Yull shoes just for the occasion.
This years is the launch of the Spring 14 collection from the very talented designs of this company. A personal favourite is the chelsea flower shoes, which is perfect for Spring and to see you into Summer time in the city. These little beauties come in grey, pink and green with a lovely little floral detail on the back. There sis also a new matching handbag… I feel my own purse opening up as we speak…
