There are so many amazing things for mums and babies to do around here, I don't think I could get through them all if I tried! From classical music concerts to zumba classes, there's really something for everything. It's fab, I'm getting to know lots of new areas, and lots of new Mums.<br />
<br />
A friend invited us along to Scream Screen at Greenwich Picture House today. It's a special daytime screening aimed at parents, where babies are welcome. The lights are left on, you can spread out blankets and car seats and crying babies are not a problem. We saw Boyhood, it was perhaps a little optimistic to take the babies to a 2hour 45minute film, but they were generally pretty chilled. Bear sat happily on my lap for the first half, had a bit of a cry, then had a nap in the sling for the second half. I call that a success!<br />
<br />
It was just so nice to do an 'adult' thing without worrying that we were bothering people, plus I could have totally fallen asleep in the comfy cinema seat!<br />
<br />
So what other films are good at the moment? I'm totally out of touch, recommendations please!<br />

He has a real name, but for the purposes of blogging I will call him bear. He is now eight weeks old, and every day (and night!) is a total learning curve. As expected, caring for him and keeping him happy us the biggest challenge of our lives, so over the coming weeks I thought I'd share a few things that make every day a little bit easier, starting with the <a href="http://www.closeparent.com/FeaturedProducts/tabid/240/CategoryID/54/Level/a/ProductID/5793/language/en-GB/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Close Caboo Carrier</a>...<br />

Before bear arrived I knew I wanted to get a carrier for him. Living in London without a car means I spend a lot of time on the tube and bus, and often you can't get on with a buggy if it's full of people or there are buggies already on board.<br />
I did lots of research, and found that the baby bjorn style 'crotch danglers' are not considered good for the baby. I knew I wanted a wrap style and asked around, lots of people recommended the caboo.<br />
<br />
I've used it a lot, both out and about and at home. It's super comfy, as the weight is well spread across your shoulders and back. Bear loves it - even if he's really worked up and crying he calms right down and usually falls asleep, as he feels cosy and snuggled in and can hear my heartbeat. I've even done the washing up with it on! It's a great halfway between a fully structured carrier and a wrap, and so has all the snuggly benefits of a wrap, but is almost as easy to put on and take off as a structured carrier, here's a how to that i found helpful....<br />

I won't use this forever, as the little guy gets bigger and stronger i want to move onto something with more structure (i have my eye on a Tula) but it is so brilliant as a way to get him from A to B that he actually enjoys in these early days. If you're looking for a baby carrier but feeling flummoxed by the millions available, i really recommend the Close Caboo!<br />

This afternoon i met up with Carly, one of my best girls, for a proper girly afternoon. We went shopping, had lunch, had gel manicures at the brilliant <a href="http://www.mwnails.com/" target="_blank">MW Nails</a>, and then gossiped over coffee while admiring our new nails.<br />
<br />
I chose Artistic Colour Gloss in Snapdragon, Carly has Shellac in Vogue - I so love these grey nails on her!<br />

Hello! For those of you who have never booked a wedding photographer, you may not be familiar with the concept of an engagement shoot - i certainly wasn't! But it is a standard part of most photographers packages. At first i thought 'we don't need that. What a self-indulgent concept. I have a wedding budget to stick to!' But once we'd got over that, we realised it's actually a really sweet idea. A chance to have some nice relaxed photos together, in your usual clothes, in a place that means something to you when you're not busy getting married and talking to 100 guests. It's also a good way to get to know your photographer, tell them all your plans and get used to being in front of their camera.<br />
<br />
So! A couple of weeks ago we had our engagement shoot with <a href="http://www.chrisbarberphotography.co.uk/" target="_blank">Chris Barber</a>. We had lots of ideas about clever settings and props and themes, but in the end we realised that keeping it simple would be best, and would mean the most to us. We chose to go to the Horniman Museum and Gardens. It's within spitting distance of our house, so in the five years that we've lived in Forest Hill we've gone there countless times, for autumn walks, picnics with friends and snowball fights.<br />
<br />
I think that in ten years we'll look back at these photos and they will capture this moment in our lives - our first home together, making lots of plans, and standing on the edge of our future.<br />

I'm trying not to write too much on this blog about our wedding plans, as we want to keep things a surprise for our guests. But it's not easy! I can tell you that the planning is going well, we now have the venue, photographer, and legal bit all booked. We have almost booked the catering and bar. The bridesmaids dresses are sorted and hanging in garment bags in my spare room, and (perhaps most importantly) i've found my dress! OF COURSE i'm not telling you a thing about it!<br />
<br />
So now I am thinking about the rest of my outfit, veil, jewellery, and SHOES! I am spending a lot of time on the train browsing shoe shops online. Those Valentinos up there, those are the best i've found, aren't they lovely? Shame my budget probably wouldn't even cover one of the bows! I definitely want peep toes, and i love an oversize bow. I would love some glitter, and i'm most keen on gold, rose and ivory colours. A big (small?) problem is that i'm pretty tall, at 5'8, so 10cm is really the maximum heels I can have. I definitely don't want to be taller than the boy! So the Nicholas Kirkwoods are straight out, as are the (sob) Valentinos.<br />
<br />
Have you seen any gorgeous footwear in this sort of style? Give me recommendations PLEASE!<br />
<br />
But really, come on...<br />

<a href="http://thisislittlemisslove.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/beauty-through-letters.html" target="_blank">As previously mentioned</a>, i love a well designed font. The font used makes such a huge difference to the way a written message is perceived, and there's not much i like better than discovering a new beauty to download!<br />
<br />
I was having a read back through the well of web design inspiration that is <a href="http://www.puglypixel.com/" target="_blank">Pugly Pixel</a>, and found a link to <a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/" target="_blank">Font Squirrel</a> - a brilliant site with some great free fonts.<br />
<br />
If you've never downloaded a font, don't be scared! It's very simple. Just click the download button, and it will appear as a zipped folder in your downloads. Open the zipped folder, open the .otf file, and on both mac and pc you should see an 'install font' button. Click it, done! If you have word or PS or whatever open at the time, you may need to close and reopen it before seeing your new font in the menu. You'll never want to use a boring standard font again!<br />
<br />
At the moment i'm planning lots of crafty design projects, many of which include text in one way or another, so having access to some stylish fonts that convey the kind of mood i want is absolutely brilliant.<br />

Well, i have had quite the hair adventure. On monday we have our engagement photoshoot with <a href="http://www.chrisbarberphotography.co.uk/" target="_blank">Chris Barber</a>. So, last weekend, i thought i'd put some colour on my hair to make sure it's nice and rich. I used Live Colour XXL for the first time, it was supposed to be a nice dark brown, and as you can see, it went black. Proper, gothtastic, flat, dull, blackest black. Urgh.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I consulted my friend who is a hairdresser, i tried a hot oil soak, i used anti dandruff shampoo (because it fades hair dye, who knew?) But short of a very expensive trip to the salon it seemed there was no hope. However, my googling kept bringing up a product called <a href="http://colourb4.com/" target="_blank">Colour B4. </a> Available from Boots and Superdrug for about £10 a box, found with the hair dye. </div>

Many years ago, when i was at uni, had black hair for a while by choice. And when i wanted to get rid of it i had to use a bleach kit, which left my hair white and orange and a bit crispy. I was prepared for this to happen again, but anything would be better than black! I was also prepared to postpone the shoot, thats how much i hated this black hair! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here comes the science bit...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Colour B4 is different to those bleach kits, for one, it doesn't contain any bleach or ammonia. Apparently, hair dye enters the hair shaft as tiny molecules, which then swell and take colour as they oxidise. Once they have swelled they are trapped within the hair shaft, so no amount of rinsing will shift them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Coulour B4 shrinks the molecules, so that you can simply rinse them straight out of the hair, leaving your natural colour behind. Genius!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It goes on like a hair dye, you mix this with that, spread it through the hair, wrap it in clingfilm and leave it for an hour. It's a bit stinky, but i soon got used to it. After an hour i looked in the mirror - still black. Hmmm. I rinsed it for ten minutes (timed, this is important) and the water ran clear, no black muddy water coming out. Hmmm. After ten minutes i looked in the mirror, it was gone!! Just like that, amazing! There's then a bit more rinsing to do, and another lotion to apply then rinse off to finish. But really, it was all very easy and straightforward. </div>

After the Colour B4 treatment i didn't colour my hair again, it left it a lovely natural rich and even colour, as you can see. It's not any drier than it was before (it's naturally curly, so always a little frizzy) I'm over the moon, and can't wait for our photoshoot! Now i'll be able to put these pictures up in our house forever, and see a lovely photo, not a hair mistake. </div>

One great thing about my job is that I get to go to some fun events to take photos and review them for the <a href="http://www.lomographylondon.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lomography Magazine</a>. Last weekend was probably my favourite EVER!<br />
<br />
Future Cinema (those clever people who bring whole films to life) did Grease. Only one of my favourite films in the world!<br />

Got any good tips for a great night out in London?<br />

Oh my gosh! Looking back through my past posts, i don't think i ever actually wrote much or shared the photos of the project i worked on for the last year! Seriously, this project has taken up some part of every one of my working days, and many of my weekends and evenings too. I guess i got so overwhelmed with actually doing it i didn't take time to document it for you, my lovely readers!<br />
<br />
So, this all started in 2011, when i met Anthony, the Head of Communications at the Museum Of London. We got chatting about my work at Lomography, and initially we discussed doing a little digital project to promote the Museum to the Lomography community. Fast forward a year, and we built this...<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/itsAvKg8w_4?rel=0" width="640"></iframe><br />

Yup, that's me there with my trusty staple gun and brilliant colleagues. That's 30,000 individual photographs, all shot on film, submitted by people from 32 countries and pieced together into four huge LomoWalls. We also documented the paralympic athletes in training. Here are some more snaps of the making of...<br />

I was interviewed and filmed officially opening the exhibition for the ChoccyWoccyDooDah programme on the Good Food Channel, so watch out for me on that soon, and you can read another interview with me about the project on the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/07/12/lomography-instagram-guide_n_1668267.html" target="_blank">Huffington Post</a>.<br />
<br />
The exhibition is at the museum until January 2013, and is free to go and see, so go take a look and let me know what you think!Macehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16261875906574752361noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757571362180775407.post-44048612769799603782012-08-25T07:33:00.002-07:002012-08-25T07:33:43.299-07:00Recently....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The boy and i have just come back from a mini holiday in the New Forest. It was everything we needed, with good food, fresh air, long walks and endless ponies, dogs and mackerel. But more on that when i get my films developed!<br />
<br />
Here's a little update on the million things that have been keeping me very very busy these last few weeks...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I worked with our good friend <a href="http://www.alexander6.com/" target="_blank">Alexander 6</a> and we designed the save the dates. We decided to go with postcards for now, with more formal folded cards and envelopes for the real invitation. These little beauties are just going out to our families and the close wedding party, everyone else can look forward to the proper things in nine months or so, when we have a few more details sorted!<br /><br /><br />

We went to Hatton Garden to check out wedding rings, and if this were an interview in a wedding magazine my tip to all other brides and indeed people would be GO TO HATTON GARDEN! In case you've never been, it's London's jewellery quarter. There is a crossroads lined with little independent jewellery shops, selling everything from silver earrings to platinum tiaras. Since you are buying direct from the makers the prices are so good! I had my dream ring in mind, but didn't think we could afford it. Here, we went into six different shops, all offered to make it bespoke for me, all half the price of anywhere i'd seen it on the high street! We didn't order our rings yet, since we have plenty of time, but we will definitely get them in Hatton Garden.<br />

Another thing that's been keeping me very busy is our ongoing (and at times painful) upholstery project! I know, it seems almost mythical now, but i promise it really does exist. Next weekend i have my mum coming to stay as we are going wedding dress shopping (eek!) So that's my incentive to get it finished this bank holiday weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me, and i'll try to keep mine out of the staple gun...<br />

Any world in which this scene can happen makes me happy. That is: a pooch in a T-Rex costume, next to a pair of size 11 stilettoes. Happy days.<br />
<br />
This is The Canine Games at Bethnal Green Working Mens Club, a glittery, biscuity, slobbery afternoon of the most pampered bitches in East London strutting their stuff. You can read my full write up of the event, and see all my photos over on <a href="http://todolist.org.uk/the-canine-games/" target="_blank">To-Do List</a> today.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, i met <a href="http://uglymugly.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mugly</a>, officially the ugliest dog in the world 2012. I think he's just misunderstood.<br />

Of course i took my partner in crime with me (not that he minded this assignment, he was in doggy heaven) so i treated him to lunch afterward. We were going to Shoreditch High Street station, so we stopped off at BoxPark, the pop up mall. We went to <a href="http://www.bukowski-grill.co.uk/" target="_blank">Bukowski Grill</a>, a recently launched joint venture between fine dining chef Robin Freeman and kitchen-veteran-turned-entrepreneur Alberto Figueroa. If you're in the area, i really recommend it. I had a veggie burger that was so full of yummy charcoal grill flavour, and the boy had a perfectly juicy and tender hangar steak sandwich. We didn't have chips, but they looked EPIC.<br />

<br />
Hey guys, last weekend i hosted the <a href="http://thisislittlemisslove.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/you-are-invited-to-lomography-bloggers.html">LoBlography</a> event: an event for bloggers, by bloggers. I invited 20 amazing UK bloggers, who all came along, met eachother, had some bucks fizz and cupcakes and shot some film. We also had a sort-of-seminar, with talks from Adam from <a href="http://www.rockmywedding.co.uk/">Rock My Wedding</a>, Sian from <a href="http://www.domesticsluttery.com/">Domestic Sluttery</a> and <a href="http://katherinehannaford.com/">Kat Hannaford</a>.<br />
<br />
It was really good fun, i met some super cool people, and got lots of new blogging inspiration. Lot's of ideas in the pipeline readers! I was quite anxious about it, as it was quite a lot to pull together, but everyone's given lovely feedback and i feel like i've made some new friends. Lovely! Here are some of my photos from the day, all shot on the LC-A+ with CN 800 film (warning, image overload incoming...)<br />

Hello! Here's a simple but very satisfying mini DIY project for you. I made these jumbo covered buttons for my upholstery project, which, by the way, has begun! More on that when it's finished, but let me tell you right now, it may be a little while.<br />
<br />
You could, of course, spruce up many wardrobe staples with jazzy new buttons. Check out Valentino's Fall 2012 collection...<br />

mmm buttons. Here's how!<br />
<br />
<br />

You will need:<br />
Self cover buttons - available from all haberdashers, John Lewis, or online. They are available in plastic or metal, and a wide range of sizes. The choice is yours!<br />
Fabric scissors<br />
Strong thread<br />
Fabric - you really only need a tiny bit, so you can buy a fat quarter (this will be PLENTY) or use a scrap. This fabric is leftover from a fat quarter i used for another project<br />
<br />

<br />
1. Cut a circle from the fabric<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmgbMxDXYYfOTS-N4MGZ5oXUyaBm59JuQCMViYztlVo2ghPH6GI0uSql03TxRjdxhsRfoXE9MMVfONKbJblNIVukG1XWKxKViI8YzxGs0i7rKyVw_cqUl1rrHJQxt8Qf7s3hFOfwm-3Wc0/s1600/P6300669.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmgbMxDXYYfOTS-N4MGZ5oXUyaBm59JuQCMViYztlVo2ghPH6GI0uSql03TxRjdxhsRfoXE9MMVfONKbJblNIVukG1XWKxKViI8YzxGs0i7rKyVw_cqUl1rrHJQxt8Qf7s3hFOfwm-3Wc0/s640/P6300669.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Sow a loose running stitch around the edge of your circle with strong thread. Do not tie off the thread when finished.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDVKgQ9rfQz0sW6_fWKMNa2kLtkf83L-Ph9fOwzf565ZiN482xI1yuddHzEp60vcIlWyKPYPob0Tr_vZGsVqp9oZdkbVsj_jF8-EzTc_lTaghLuf8bRTbOWoXRYQUNL7LUHlC1D9ZmZucn/s1600/P6300670.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDVKgQ9rfQz0sW6_fWKMNa2kLtkf83L-Ph9fOwzf565ZiN482xI1yuddHzEp60vcIlWyKPYPob0Tr_vZGsVqp9oZdkbVsj_jF8-EzTc_lTaghLuf8bRTbOWoXRYQUNL7LUHlC1D9ZmZucn/s640/P6300670.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Place your button on the wrong side of the fabric, and gather the thread. The fabric will pull beautifully around the button. Even out any gathered sections that have created folds on the front of the button, and tie off the thread.<br />
<br />
4. Press the back on, push into place with a cotton reel, et voila!<br />
<br />

This really only takes a couple of minutes per button, and gives a perfectly professional finish. A very satisfying project! I know i'll be thinking twice each time i button up my clothes now, wondering if it could get a new breath of life with new buttons. Tribal print sundress with this season's acid yellow buttons anyone?Macehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16261875906574752361noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757571362180775407.post-17723033747139435262012-06-26T12:48:00.000-07:002015-07-22T02:11:30.509-07:00Design Inspiration: Contrast Upholstery<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last night we were very kindly given a wingback armchair, from a friend who is moving abroad. We have been on the hunt for a brilliant feature armchair for our living room for nigh on two years, we've seen many we love, but all over the £500 mark! Too scary much to blow on something you'll put your bum on, we put them on the dream house list.<br />

So, we were beginning to give up hope, until we got offered this wingback, gratis! Perhaps this is exactly what we needed? We couldn't find the exact thing, so now we can make something exactly how we like! I'm planning to get cracking on re-upholstering it this weekend. I'm taking inspiration from the stunning <a href="http://www.made.com/sofas-and-armchairs/armchairs/bouji-chair-oxford-grey-and-turquoise-blue">Boujis Occasional chair from Made</a>, pictured above. Dove grey fabric with contrast trims? Yes please!<br />

</div>Hello! Here's a sneaky request! The Cosmopolitan Blog Awards happen every year, and are arranged by Cosmopolitan Magazine (in case you didn't already guess!) There isn't a prize as such, but it's a fantastic bit of recognition for emerging and established blogs. I would be over the flippin moon if my blog were even considered!<br />
<br />
So, dear reader, here is the begging letter<br />
Pretty please would you nominate this little ole blog in the Best Lifestyle category? (That's to say i blog about lifestyle, not that i have the best lifestyle, that would be a weird claim to make about yourself) You can nominate by copying my URL and then clicking here<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/blogs/cosmo-blog-awards-2012/cosmo-blog-awards-2012_nominate">Nominate LittleMissLove for Best Lifestyle blog now! </a><br />
<br />
This blog is also under a year old, so if you can spare another 30 seconds, you could also nominate it for Best Newcomer too. You will be prompted to do that after making the first nomination.<br />
<br />
Every time you nominate me a kitten smiles!*<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/blogs/cosmo-blog-awards-2012/cosmo-blog-awards-2012_nominate">Here's the nominate link again</a><br />
<br />
*This is definitely true, but i can't prove it to you. Sorry. But just know it is true, and imagine that kitten smiling as you press submit...<br />

Another set of photos on the ever reliable canon sure shot! All the way back in January my lovely fiancee said he was going to organise a surprise for me. Turns out, he treated my bridesmaids and i to a lovely champagne afternoon tea at Browns Hotel! It was super thoughtful and a real treat for us all, but i think he was a bit stressed at the logistics of getting us all in the same place on the same day, it took him five months to co-ordinate!<br />
<br />
We had champagne, sandwiches and cakes at the hotel - i could only get one snap in there, as it was a bit frowned upon. Afterward we wandered to green park and spent a while sitting in the deckchairs having a natter and talking wedding to our hearts content.<br />
<br />
Thanks Dikster!<br />

Hi nice readers! So, i'm a bit quiet at the moment, but as i said in my last post that's partly because there is SO MUCH going on at work! (Have i OD'd on internet? Surely not!)<br />
<br />
One of the things i've been working on is a big Lomography event for bloggers: <a href="http://www.lomography.com/magazine/events/2012/06/15/bloggers-of-the-uk-you-are-invited-to-the-loblography-event">The LoBlography Event!</a><br />
My idea was to create an event by bloggers and for bloggers. You'll get the chance to try out a Lomography camera and shoot a roll of film under my expert guidance (eek! But i did take the photo above, so i can't be toooo terrible) listen to talks by some AWESOME blogger/journalists who have turned their blogs into a career, have a glass of wine and meet other bloggers. Lush!<br />
<br />

Woah so it's been a long time! Nice to see ya! A lot's been going on, and a lot of it hasn't been blogging. But here we are!<br />
<br />
It's the bank holiday weekend. We went to AppleCart Festival, we had friends round for dinner, we watched the Jubilee concert, and i made a sugarcraft anemone. Sugarcraft is brilliant, it's like play-doh for adults. You can spend half an hour making something and sticking your tongue out in concentration, and pretend you are 'skilled' instead of just 'a toddler'.<br />

<br />
To make this little experiment i stocked up at the excellent <a href="http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/">Craft Company </a> who delivered super quickly! I used the blossom-white sugar flower paste, which as you can see is quite pink. It comes in a resealable plastic pot, and is just soft, so you can work it a little and soften it up, shape it, and then it hardens completely in a few hours. I also got some edible glue to stick it all together, and used some black glitter flake to cover the centre (which was made of a ball of the blossom-white icing)<br />
<br />
To shape the petals i followed <a href="http://domesticsugar.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/tutorial-sugarpaste-anemone.html">Domestic Sugars excellent tutorial</a>. I didn't have a special ball tool, i used a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon, and i used spoons to lay out the petals, but the sponge is 100% vital, i couldn't have shaped these on a solid surface!<br />
<br />
I have so much anemone love right now<br />

In other news, we just confirmed that the truly awesome <a href="http://www.chrisbarberphotography.co.uk/">Chris Barber </a>will photograph our big day! I came across his photos through work waaaaaaay before we got engaged, and loved it. So i showed the boy, and he loved it too. We've looked around, there have been a couple of super close seconds, but Chris was our first choice from the start, before we picked a venue or even thought about any other things, so we are super excited to have him on our team.<br />
<br />
Happy dance!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">SJP rocking the clog on the streets of NY</span></div>
<br />
Recently, i've noticed a quiet movement across the streets of Soho. Well, quiet might not be the right word. Perhaps clip clopping might be better?<br />
<br />
A great thing about working in Soho is that you're right in the heart of magazine land, and, consequently, the streets are paved with PRs, models, stylists and all the super fashionable people that make up that world. I'm inspired every day by different people's beautiful outfits, and my personal style has certainly changed a lot since i worked in East London- namely it's a lot more natty little jackets with jeans and jewelry, and less market stall mash up. Probably a good thing all round.<br />
<br />
For the last couple of seasons there have been a LOT of solid soled shoes around, i've noticed a lot of people rocking what is effectively a clog! A clog? In Soho?! Of course, <a href="http://www.swedishhasbeens.com/">Swedish Hasbeens</a> have been the clog du jour for a while now, but it wasn't until i saw my colleague Linda clopping around in her beautiful fawn ankle boots - with wooden heeled clog soles - and proclaiming that they actually ARE the most comfortable shoes in the world, that i truly became tempted to try it for myself.<br />
<br />

I am a very lucky blogger, because the lovely <a href="http://www.lottafromstockholm.co.uk/">Lotta From Stockholm</a> offered me a pair of their <a href="http://www.lottafromstockholm.co.uk/#!__high-n-funky">braided clogs</a> to try for myself. I wore them for a sunny day in Cornwall, so teamed them with a full on 70s ensemble of vintage coral skirt and stripy top. I wish it were warm enough to ditch the tights!<br />
<br />
The shoes are made of good quality real leather, with a solid wooden base and a good grippy sole. When i first put them on they did feel a bit weird - i'm used to soft ballet pumps every day, and these are definitely not so forgiving! But within ten minutes of walking around the house the leather warmed up and hugged the shape of my feet, and i really didn't notice the 'hard' sole at all.<br />
<br />

<br />
The wood is shaped like the contours of your feet, so they're actually pretty good for you! I'm planning to wear these with my pink jeans and jacket throughout the summer. Compared to many sandals, i reckon these could face the rush hour stampede no problem!<br />
<br />
I'm definitely sold on clogs. Though i wouldn't wear them every day, they are quite heavy and probably would become a little tiring, they are completely suitable for my average commute/walking about.<br />
