Talk is Cheap: Slogan Clutches

Let your accessories do all the talking with slogan clutches.

'More Issues Than Vogue' handbag by Colette

Slogan accessories are becoming more and more popular. Now, lets be honest. You either love them or loathe them, but there's no denying, they make a bold statement. And they are a fabulous conversation starter!

What I love most about a slogan clutch is how fun and quirky they are. They add humour and a certain edge to a person's outfit. And they make outfits, much more fun. Slogan clutches are fabulous to style with casual or street style outfits. It adds more detail to a basic outfit and they make people happy!

The opportunities are endless when it comes to slogans. Popular sayings, famous quotes and even music lyrics are the most popular choices. Some places even make customised handbags.

I searched the blogosphere for my favourite slogan clutches and here they are:

Which Shoe Would you Choose?

Sometimes picking the right shoe for an outfit can be the hardest thing to do! That's why I tend to dress from the feet up! But then, sometimes you find the perfect outfit that you cannot pass up!

So, I thought it could be fun, to find an outfit and match the perfect shoe to it.

And, I found the perfect outfit worn by Fashion Blogger Hanneli Mustaparta.

Here are the two shoes, I would pair with this outfit.

1. 'Umika' heels in black suede by Wittner shoes - I love the stiletto heel and the pointed toe. The trendy lace up front adds a bold statement.

2. 'Rolo' strappy sandals by Topshop - I love the trending metallic bodice on this outfit. I think adding a bright silver pair of high heel sandals, ties the look together and adds glamour.

I'd love to hear your opinion, which shoe would you choose? Black or silver?

Espadrilles have been popular for a few seasons now, but fashion is constantly reinventing itself that certain trends come back, bigger and better than before. And that is the case with the espadrille. One of the hottest Summer trends of the season.

Espadrilles are all about maximum comfort and simple styling.

There are many styles of espadrilles available. The sole of espadrilles are made out of natural fibres and can be in the form of a casual flat, platform and even wedge heels. They are a popular style amongst the designers and are extremely comfortable with a flexible jute rope sole.

They also come in an array of materials like canvas, suede, pony hair and other natural materials. You'll be sure to find a style that suits you.

Flat out amazing!

Styling flat espadrilles is all about comfort. They are suitable for any casual or street style dressing.

1. They look super cute with dresses. Style them with simple t-shirt dresses, straight cut dresses and also flowing A-line dresses.

2. Espadrilles also look fabulous when styled with denim. Whether denim jeans, skirts or shorts, they are a match made in heaven.

3. As espadrilles are made out of natural materials, style your espadrilles with other natural materials like cotton or linen for a more harmonious look.

Styling wedge espadrilles is about adding elegance and comfort to a simple outfit. Be sure to style your wedge espadrilles with chic, casual Summer dresses or skirts for lunch with the girls or a date with your man.

'Demi' Espadrille by Witchery

My current season espadrille is the Demi wedge heels by Witchery. I love the height of the wedge and the slight platform at the front. This will ensure maximum comfort and chic styling. The neutral tone makes them an easy shoe to style and match with everything.

Wearing espadrilles is all about comfort and casual dressing. So, slip into a pair, this Summer for a weekend lunch, a trip to the beach or even shopping in style.

Happy Shopping!

What I love most about these shoes is the minimalism. The single, delicate strap across the toes and around the ankle, makes them perfect for the Summer season.

The 10cm stiletto heel adds glamour and elegance to the sandal. They are the perfect heel height for any occasion. They are high enough to give your calf muscles a workout but they are still a comfortable heel to walk in.

But the main reason I love these shoes, is the gold studded detailing all around the shoe. They make them a statement sandal. Perfect for when you want to make a bold statement and turn heads. The contrast of the gold studs and black suede of the shoes, makes them a classic combination and a statement heel.

High heeled sandals are incredibly versatile. And these shoes are easy to wear with everything. They look fabulous with Summer dresses and playsuits but they also look elegant and chic with skinny jeans. My favourite Summer trend this season is the midi skirt and these heels are the perfect accessory to wear with them.
