Proenza Schouler Mule- my fantasy shoe of the week

Source - ? Please let me know and I'll take down or credit 

Loving these Proenza Schouler shoes. I am a sucker for a big clumpy shoe with a sky scraper heel, but I think they'll remain in fantasy territory for quite a while - here's hoping they end up on The Outnet this time next year...

Zandra Rhodes Disco Dress

Way back when I worked at the Fashion & Textile Museum in Bermondsey as Zandra Rhodes set it up. I went from being a student to an intern who got to scoot past a fashion legend everyday...and sometimes even help make supper for her dinner guests (potato soup was often on the menu). 

This brush with Zandra meant the start of collecting her work (when I can afford it) on eBay in the early 2000's. But this particular piece is from one of her Topshop collaborations, a dress that you buy because you believe one day your life will call for a see through sparkly cover up. Not really happened yet, but a girl can dream!

Proenza Schouler - my fantasy shoe of the week

With trips to Houston / Austin, Texas and Melbourne, Australia lined up in the next 2 months I know that spending money is a foolish thing to do.


But testing my resolve are these beautiful creations from Proenza Schouler at Net a Porter. If I listen carefully I can hear them singing to me about how my life will be instantly better and flooded with a bucketful more sass if I owned them.


From now on I will be giving my fantasy shoe of the week, which will hopefully work the same way as walking around a shop with an item you know is impractical / too expensive / silly - just walking around holding it and then putting it back tricks your mind into thinking you owned it, if just for a little while.
