Summer shoes

This summer I am going to try and break from the usual footwear for summer (Gucci loafers, tan tassel loafers see a theme here?) but this year I am going to go for a pair of these dandy things.......

Swoon.

Now my feet are not the biggest and the better half suggested my feet might look to clumpy (is that a word? No red line underneath it on blogger so it must be). Its tricky thing footwear isn't it? A lot of my mates always say that shoes look better in a smaller size and I have to agree with that on a whole but some shoes you just cant get away with. I am hoping I can pull this style off as I am really up for a lace up shoe for summer in the first time in 7 years. 

I will let you know how I get on. 

All you need is love.

For those of you who haven't seen the film I Am Love then bloody why not? It is an exhilarating experience. The better half and I went to see it at the flicks last year when it came out and we only just got around to watching it on dvd this weekend (although we bought it well before Christmas). It stars Tilda Swinton as the lead. Living the high life as the matriarch of a ultra wealthy Milanese family her world, and her families, is turned upside down by a chance meeting. I will leave it there for those of you who havent seen it.
A film based mainly in the Italian city of Milan should get the style juices flowing and you will be pleases to know that this one does not disappoint. The film's wardrobe was done by Fendi and Jill Sander but there is, of course, a Hermes Birken bag here and a Gucci Loafer there. It shows how well the Italians put things together and instantly your looking up lessons in Italian and considering if you could do your job in Italy, Milan perhaps. I read earlier today (on a website of high regard) that Italian men are just trying to dress like English men and this is why they look and dress like they do. Well if that is true how come I never look half as good as them when I try to dress with a bit of Milanese flair? Best stick to what I know best. If anyone can let me know what that/this is then I would be most grateful.
