A big reason why we feel overwhelmed with our wardrobes is because they're not organised well.

Why do you need shoe trees and what are they for? Which type of shoe tree do you need and why? There's a lovely cobbler in the Strand Arcade who is constantly looking at my new clients' old shoes like he's found a stray puppy. Paul from Coombs knows shoe care like no one else I know and he knows when someone isn't looking after their shoes.

There's a big secret many talented stylists and celebrities have been keeping for years. You all know the reason I started this blog was not only to help women dress in a way that makes them feel confident but let them in on the tricks effortlessly stylish people use to make clothing work.

Because we wear our shoes for long periods of time, experience different heat levels, sweat into them, get dirt on them, we get them wet – then if we have a shoe closet or closed in area for our shoes, we pop them away.

Can you believe it's nearly 2018? It dawned on me today when I was working on a photo shoot in a beautiful California bungalow style home, shooting luxurious towels in the warm sun what a different year this has been for me.
