Vogue has decreed it, Mary-Janes are officially a trend. Except we don’t really have trends any more, Anna said so. When she spoke to Style.com in Paris after the a/w 15/16 shows she explained designers were sticking to their personal vision rather than trying to pre-empt a broader design zeitgeist. “I personally think it’s a wonderful […]

Road Test : Thigh Boots Version 1
posted by lifeaswewearit
I thought I’d take the easy way first. The least ‘Pretty Woman’ combo. Well that which I would wear, anyway. So it was a night at the Opera House and the weather hinted that just enough of a chill would cut through this unrelenting humidity to justify such covered up nether regions. I jumped at […]
