Kiren Modi X Megan Sophia 

So last week Megan and I had a super productive couple of days working on our collaboration. We finalised the bead selection and the designs we are working on. WOOHOO! So this week was all about the production. The bead work, understandably takes a little while to do so Megan made an early start with sample ideas and I carried on with making sure the pattern fitted snug onto the foot. Without giving too much away the outcome is looking pretty spot on to what we both visualised. Megan has also introduced me to the most amazing trimming store in Soho which I can't get enough of so Im pretty sure i'll be heading there more often too. Now the pics don't give too much away as we want to keep that a little secret until we launch so for now above is one of the sample embellishments Megan has been working on along with some of the colour ways we have decided to work with! Enjoy! :)

Emma Hope

I'm all over embellishment at the moment, (well actually all the time! ha!) so coming across Emma Hope for the first time couldn't have come at a more convenient time. Now she may be difficult to track down since she has no social media footprint, BUT she does have two very successful boutiques in the affluent areas of Westbourne Grove and Sloane Square. Now I just love designers that are unique, exclusive and non commercial. I'll be the first to mention that Tuesday was the fist time I'd heard of the brand after speaking to inspirational/motivational speaker Neil Sikka, and I'm so glad I have! The embellishment element of her evening footwear are stunning as are the wedding footwear, Hope provides a range of styles including sneakers and casual footwear. Definitely worth a visit in stores or having a quick look via the website but for now here are a few of my favourite styles.

Sophia Webster Runway Collection

I've harped on about Sophia Webster for a VERY long time, she is some what of a house hold name now and her stuff is just as desirable and every bit as quirky as her first collection. The new runway collection is awesome! I have always loved embellishment and this collection is nothing but sequin galore! With the winter seasons coming up there's nothing like a little sparkle to spice things up. The Mule, Ankle boots and Thigh Highs are absolutely gorgeous and perfect for the coming seasons.

Shoe of the Week

Malone Souliers - 'MAYE'

You might remember Malone Souliers as one of the first brands that featured on my blog in January. The brand has grown from strength to strength with Solange Knowles wearing their shoes at any given moment - and why the hell not? they are just stunningly designed! This week 'Maye' from their Autumn Winter season 15/16 collection has made the shoe of the week title. They are just awesome! Well designed with just that perfect amount of quirk. The outward pleats make them the perfect stand out shoe for any outfit and say style in a subtle way. Mules as i have mentioned before have featured hugely in the last couple seasons in fashion week and these give you a great alternatively for the colder months.

SHOE OF THE WEEK

United Nude : Eamz Mule

I'm always on the look out for new footwear designers as it's so easy to fall in  to the habit of shopping in the same places. I mean every girl loves when they are complimented and asked where their shoes are from aren't they?. I have no doubt these United Nude Eamz Mule would do just that. They have an air of futurism much like the rest of the brand but in a very versatile way, which allows you to incorporate them into every day wear. The mule style is bang on trend at the moment so these are just perfect and add just the right amount of quirk and character. Go on have a scroll!

Shoe of the Week

SHRIMPS X SOPHIA WEBSTER

The Shrimps X Sophia Webster mule has been crowned shoe of the week. Solange Knowles, the most notable celebrity has been seen wearing them during Paris Fashion Week. She loved them so much, she now owns them in the 2 colours that are available. The powerful pairing between Shrimps and Sophia Webster have since released a second leather and faux fur platform sandal, which recently featured in April's Vogue issue. The collaboration was inevitable, the use of faux fur that Shrimps are famous for, and the quirk of Sophia Websters designs, were bound to be a match made in heaven. The mules are available in an  Opal Grey or a Sunshine Yellow - I just love the yellow version (I have a dark skin tone so I can imagine the colour popping better - Look at me imagining I already have them! Haha!) They both come with a  transparent 100mm high acrylic heel and a fluffy faux fur band which is bang on trend this season, so if they‘re good enough for Queen B’s sister they are good enough for me! I absolutely adore them, and you should expect to see them a lot more in the coming months. Mules have really made a come back - it has taken some time, but they have eventually grown on me. I wasn't a huge fan at first but the more I see them styled differently, or designed differently the more I want a pair - which was a given as they are shoes after all, it was just a matter of time!
