2024 Round-up So Far...

Hi lovely readers & Hello Summer!

The start of this year has flown by, I hope 2024 has been wonderful so far for you all. It’s time for a little round-up of what I’ve been up to 🌻💛

First off was a trip to beautiful Dubai at the beginning of Feb. I hosted a book signing event at the stunning Level Shoes store, where I got to meet and chat with so many of you! Did you know it’s the biggest shoe boutique in the world?! Dubai is a fabulous place to dazzle so I just had to wear my Vanessa Crystal Sandals and my Amora Bag with pink crystal heart ✨ I teamed these with a floaty Saloni dress.

Then the next day I had the privilege of participating in the Emirates Literary Festival. It was an honour to talk about my book in a panel with the incredible Emirati jeweller Azza Al Qubaisi and author of the Cartier story ‘Creating Cartier’, Francesca Brickell Cartier. Day 2 of the festival I did a Q&A about my book to a packed out hall, I couldn’t believe my 👀!  Comfort was key so for the first day I wore a Zimmerman two piece paired back with my mid height Gold Flo sandals and my brand new Raffia Mariposa Bag.

It was an unforgettable trip – the best thing was seeing people in the audience with my shoes on ❤️  I had book signing sessions after both the events and there is nothing that fills me with more joy than sharing shoe stories with my customers.

In mid March I had a whistle-stop trip to the Big 🍎 for a customer event and book signing at Bloomingdale’s on 59th St! The event was so much fun the Bloomies team are awesome! I decided to go matchy matchy with my book cover and teamed my yellow patent Mariposa handbag with a hot pink leather skirt from ROTATE Birger Christensen. To complete the look my Midnight Butterfly Meadow Chiara sandals were the perfect compliment. I always love designing a black ‘Chiara’ with a pop of colour in the wings. It makes them so easy to style.

Back in London, spring was in full bloom and I enjoyed hearing Edward Enninful talk over a gorgeous lunch at the Rosewood hotel. I wore my Margaux pumps in a blue floral satin – the Margaux is my favourite pump and I just love our vibrant new ombre colourways. My arm candy was my white leather Mariposa handbag and these tied perfectly with my MSGM Shirt and Sandro jeans.

Lastly I had the absolute joy of attending a garden party at Buckingham Palace hosted by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and HRH King Charles to celebrate the UK’s creative industries. My white Paloma Mid Mules were the perfect wedge heel for walking on grass and I matched her with a primrose yellow Rixo dress and an exquisite Jane Taylor hat. Just to be extra royal I sparkled with my Cleo Paloma crystal bag 💎👑 The bag got so many compliments.. I am so excited that it is dropping soon in PINK!
