It's Shoe Time: Kat Maconie

Kat Maconie

Earlier this year at London Fashion Week I noticed a pair of stunning shoes in the press gallery and fell in love. Simple black pumps with a geometric fuschia platform with gorgeous gold piping, they were beyond gorgeous and I needed a pair! 

The shoes in question were by LCF grad (good on ya girl!) Kat Maconie, who set up her own label in 2009 and has since had shoes featured in all the good glossies and on the most stylish ladies. These metallic blue heels have been particularly popular this season- and with good reason. I'd wear with white for a futuristic sporty look!

The distinctively chunky heels and gorgeous details make Kat Maconie's shoes lustworthy and very unique, and while showing off the shoes available now I have also treated you to a little sneak peek of her next season collection (race you to the orange shoe boots?)

The best part? The heels (available online here) are nowhere near as expensive as they look- all around £200, roughly a Kurt Geiger price point but a million times more original. 

Let me know what you think!

Alexander Mcqueen shows are always a spectacle, and AW12 is no exception. No, I was not there (obviously), but I have spent this morning *ahem* afternoon looking over the collection and lusting after every frou-frou piece of frothy chiffon.

An army of blonde models, the delicious collection is a medley of deep black, putty, cream and grey with generous helpings of crimson and fuschia. A futuristic vibe is apparent in those mad visors, but the craftsmanship of the dresses and other pieces is just wonderful. Once again, Sarah Burton, I salute you.

My First LFW!
