Introducing the SARENZA 'Own Label' Collection #MADEBYSARENZA and grab £10 off* your order too!

I could not wait to share this with you, but being so busy during the week due to work commitments, it had to wait until the weekend. But now that I finally have some time, it's time to take a look at the fantastic new Sarenza own label shoe collection. Exciting? Just a tad... The only real questions here is why on earth did this not happen before. The collection is to-die-for (really, scroll down to check out my personal favourites) and is undoubtedly one of the most exciting launches in footwear this year.

PLUS - £10 off your order too* (scroll down for more details)

As the blurb says:

The hottest shoe collection made by Sarenza with love!

Who hasn’t dreamed of their ideal shoe closet? Well the search is over – Sarenza has created it!

Masculine-inspired flats, luxury leather, glamourous heels, bold styles, comfort, wearability – the collection has it all! Add some French chic to your wardrobe with Sarenza!

So, here's the deal. Sarenza know that we all have our own style. We might also have different styles or 'faces' that we wear between day to day, and work and play. So they've taken this idea and segmented the new brand into gorgeous (and very easy to browse) collections. Let me introduce you to the basics (just click on any image to see more)

Shoeniverse recommends MALLZEE - the 'Tinder for fashionistas', browse & buy right from your iPhone!

If, like me, part of your working day revolves around a lengthy commute then you probably have some spare time on your hands. You've read the Metro end to end. You've scoured the social networks and seen the latest pictures of your sister's cat. You've even browsed Ebay for bargains and found THAT dress at a knockout price. But what about a fresh new app to easily browse, share and buy the latest fashions?

I think you might just like this... it is practically a personal shopper right in your pocket!

MallZee has been dubbed as the 'Tinder for fashionistas'. One of the nicest features is how easy it is to use and browse/find the sort of items that you want. Taking a quick browse through collections, items you've saved for later, or even by brand is seamless and simple to navigate. Then share the items you know your BFF would go crazy for, or buy that cute new jacket that would be perfect for your date this coming weekend.



You can even set price drop alerts and MallZee will let you know when your 'must have item' hits your available budget! Dangerous to the bank balance? Perhaps, but you will always one step ahead of the rest and never out of style.

The clean interface is a breeze to use.


Rate, buy, save and share the items served up to you - whether they are for you...


... or for someone you know! This app will definitely take the hassle out of Christmas shopping - you can actually use your travel time ot work in a productive manner rather than browsing for cupcakes on Pinterest!

Browse all of your favourite brands and never miss out on a deal. For busy fashionistas with high powered working lives, I'd highly recommend it.

HALLOWEEN IS COMING!!!!! Let's all do some early prep...

There's something undeniably cheerful about Halloween. I think it's the over-use of the colour orange and the fact that it's basically a huge excuse to eat a LOT of candy. But these tights? I think they are pretty damned fabulous at any time of the year. So it got me thinking ahead of time about Halloween and I wanted to share a few bits and pieces to erm 'get you in the mood'...

There has to be a fashion-forward way of approaching Halloween, right? So take a look at my fashionably 'cute but gruesome' Halloween picks. Click any image for more info.

BIKER BOOTS APPRECIATION POST - featuring Dune Black 'Peggy' Double Buckle Boots in Black and Burgundy

Crafted from premium leather these tough-but-uber-cute Peggy double buckle boots from the Dune 'black' collection are an investment in your footwear wardrobe.

They are simply ideal for the chilly months ahead, as this classic biker style features a luxe UGG-like shearling lining to keep your feet cosy and warm no matter how grotty the weather gets. The only tough decision with these gorgeous booties is which colour to get. The black is a classic, but the burgundy is perfect for the amount of charcoal grey in my winter wardrobe.

Which one is your favourite? They can be yours online now for £159.

JEWELLERY INSPIRATION and SKULLS SKULLS SKULLS! - featuring Alexander McQueen Silver Tone Skull Chain Bracelet

Just occasionally when browsing online, you come across a standalone piece of clothing or jewellery that simply stops you in your tracks. You stop clicking or swiping your way through the items on offer, gasp just a little, and your heart skips a beat or two. This is precisely what happened when I first saw this beautiful McQueen skull chain bracelet. I don't wear much by way of jewellery day to day apart from a DKNY silver watch and a Pandora bracelet, but I would have to say this would look beautiful worn with either...

Just take a look at the details up close.



The little skulls have crystal eyes. It might just be my favourite McQueen jewellery pieces ever. And we all know how deeply in love I am with the razor blade bracelets and cuffs.

But if you don't have a couple of hundred pounds spare to go out and buy this little gem, why not take a look at my skull emblazoned picks below - there's a little something for every budget!

SIMPLE STYLE featuring Victoria, Victoria Beckham Polka Dot Silk Dress Black & off-White

I have so much love for this simple little dress. I saw it and immediately just knew how I'd wear it too - which is interesting as apart from being silk, I'm not otherwise a huge fan of the style. But the long sleeves and the cute little leather collar really work, and so long as it's styled with an edge, could make a fantastic daytime outfit.

Here's how I'd like to wear it:

Bottega Veneta

NEW SEASON WEDGES - featuring the utterly divine Ash Black 'Roxane' Booties

You may remember from this post back at the end of August which featured some of the new season ASH wedges, that this particular style was out of stock, but that I promised to feature it when it was available again. So here we are - I can finally show you the divine Roxane wedge booties. I am so desperately in love with this style.

They are definitely my favourite from the new season styles, I just want to wear them all winter long.
