Addiction one: CLOGS

This is a new addiction for me, I‘ve NEVER been a fan of this style of shoe, they always look so heavy and uncomfortable.

However since I’ve seen Alexa Chung wearing a pair earlier this year at the Chanel Couture show I think I’ve fallen in love! The chunky high heel worn with grey tights and classic white Chanel dress looked fantastic! Alexa clearly must be in love too as she can be seen wearing a pair on the cover of the March British edition of Vogue!


Ever since then I can’t stop thinking about clogs. In the past I have always been put off by them as I thought they would be really clunky and heavy (as I’m very clumsy I HATE heavy shoes). However while shopping for some ankle boots at Kurt Geiger (I was desperately in need of some with all the constant rain we’ve been having in London) I decided to try on pair. I was pleasantly surprised to feel how light they were. It was clearly a misconception I had.


I know clogs aren’t everyone’s taste however I know this look will be everywhere this season. So many fantastic designers have included them in their SS’10 collections; Chanel, Kurt Geiger, Jimmy Choo, Fendi, Gucci, Celine and my personal favourite Miu Miu. They have done them in the cutest prints; doves, daisies and even cats! Apparently there is already a waiting list for them and I want a pair!
