I remember when life was simple. When the only shoes I owned were a pair of Doc Marten 10-ups and some yellow Converse All-Stars. Then, one day I bought a pair of brown Mary Janes from Mollini and that was it. I became addicted to shoes. I realised that no, Docs don't go with everything. And they are not very flattering.
Now that I'm adding these amazing Opening Ceremony booties to my collection, my old Docs would be so jealous. 'So what if we make you look like a stumpy old troll', they'd say. 'We were so hip back in the 90s.'
'Yes you were,' I would reply. But I believe in tough love. So I'd put on these suede beauties and stand tall and elegant and walk away feeling fantastic. So there.
Dear dress,
Can't you just picture foxy Michelle Pfeiffer in this stripe dress?
Fleur Wood obviously could - she named this dress after the classic late-80s flick. Good call, we say.
Many of us, at some point in our lives, have believed that wearing a hideously over-sized jumper/t-shirt will cover up our bits and therefore make us look skinny. While a few episodes of What Not to Wear will kill that fantasy, there are times when a comfy jumper can actually look tres chic.

It's early autumn. You have plans for a picnic in the Botanical Gardens. The sun is shining, the leaves are changing colour and you've baked a gorgeous batch of strawberry cupcakes for dessert. But then you realise, you have nothing to wear! You are lacking the perfect picnic ensemble! You panic. But then you remember spotting this sweet-as-can-be Lolita dress at Frisck.
