This Saint Laurent cuff makes simple soooo sexy…

Saint Laurent ‘Cassandre’ gold-plated cuff, £435

Whilst sometimes challenging (read: often torturous), I regularly extol the virtues of a heel.

It’s great being a few inches taller – so much so that I’m often known to exclaim “This feels like my natural height” (and with a size 9 foot, maybe it is).

I’m not entirely sure who I’m trying to convince though* because truthfully, I’m much happier in a flat shoe.

So this is the serendipitous thing – all those designers that I love have come on-board this season (and last season… and next season) with a full-fashion endorsement of flat shoes. Yay!

One of my favourites is the black and white loafer. It’s like a little tuxedo for your feet and looks super cute either dressed-down with a sweat top and your boyfriend jeans, or dressed-up with a black cropped pant or tailored skirt,

Need no more convincing?

* Ok, ok… it’s me.

Sequins are such an emotive embellishment – their appearance always makes me feel more festive. They’re like a chic little flash-mob that once gathered together, imparts a sense of sparkly joy.

They were the star of Saint Laurent’s most recent Spring 14 collection, that had a distinct Debbie-Harry-meets-Michelle-Pfeiffer-in-Scarface feel I like to call ‘rocktail’. My favourite piece saw these magical paillettes transformed into a red and black tiger striped shift dress (pictured).

Feeling like you need more sequins in their life?

While the slip-on sneaker isn’t new, it’s never truly been embraced by the fashion pack… until now.

Not surprisingly, Céline – the home of everything that’s cool and covetable these days, was the one to reintroduce this silhouette (pictured), and it’s been a stylish snowball of slip-on interpretations since then.
