For the past year I've been bemoaning shoe manufacturers for making shoes 'on the skimpy side'. But it was only recently that I contemplated the possibility my feet had grown. I've been a size 5 since the age of 14 so I found the discovery somewhat bewildering - I'm an adult, I should've done all my growing. This has an obvious downside -...
I adore my Dream In Green boots from Spartoo, but was curious as to what made them 'green'. The website stated that they were environmentally friendly due to 'vegetal tanning'. I wasn't sure what that meant exactly - queue Google, no results. No results - how can that be? I contacted Spartoo via their Facebook page, and it turns out that it was...

Which is a shame because she is brilliant and we always have a great time when we get together. Today consisted of shopping, lunch, and some more shopping. And several cups...
Time for Two Birds Inspiration Monday again. It's Allessandra Ambrosio this week - no idea who she is but what a fabulous name! I went outside earlier today to take some outfit shots, a gust of (freezing cold) wind blew over my fixed-once-with-superglue tripod and snapped the top clean off. The camera took a beating too, luckily it was my compact digital camera...
