That's my sister above, right. Some people say we look alike, some not. Whether or not our physical appearances match, there is one thing that we definitely are not identical in: our fashion style. Notwithstanding our 6 year difference, she is much more laid back than I, often wearing simple solid colours. When I was at home, I noticed her Clarks shoes and asked her about them. Apparently in the early 20's world, Clarks are having a major comeback. Clarks, Hush Puppies, Toms etc. These are all solid, sturdy brands that have been around for ages and yet all it takes is for a couple kids in University to start buying them and they become the hottest thing.

I wish THESE were the trend when I was younger...would've been 10x more comfortable than those hideous white platforms from Stitches (remember those?!).

Anyway, back in London I started noticing these shoes on everyone in Shoreditch and got to browsing around online for them. I found a great bargain here on Hush Puppies. £50! (PS. for all you mothers, there are also some good deals on kids shoes on there).

Of course, browsing online isn't the same without reverting back to what you know best. On net-a-porter, while everyone was busy perusing Karl's new collection, I noticed that the Isabel Marant Dicker boots are back in! I tried for months to get my hands on pair with no success.

And while I'm at it, here is my updated list of favourite shoes and their accompanying designers (clicky on their linky!):
Alexander Wang, he who never fails
Jimmy Choo, this unbelievable ICON collection.
Christian Louboutin, the man who made sex on heels.

Happy shoe shopping!
