I spent Saturday afternoon at Somerset House, engaging in high-quality people watching. Turns out that I was mainly watching their legs.
1. Badass leggings and sexy booties.
2. Capes, pantaloons, flares, feathers, snakey legs and leopard print. Woah.
3. Leather, fur, Chanel and Louboutins.
4. A black-clad photographer and her technicolour subject.
5. A shining example of laid back cool.

The stereotypical Girly Girl is an elusive being: Most ladies don’t spend all their time gushing about mascara while shopping for adorable peep-toes. No. The Girly Girl generally lies dormant and emerges periodically, not unlike werewolves at full moon.
1. Big, flirty eyelashes. (Glitter optional.)
2. Candy-hued, heart-embellished footwear.
3. Cupcakes. Of course!
4. Pearls, bows, sequins and flowers.
5. Manicures and cocktails.

This post title comes from this song. It was played in clubs when I was 19, and it described me pretty well, I thought. (I’ve cut off my hair since then. Oh well.)
1. Classy black suede zip-ups (with nails to match).
2. My trusty Zara knee highs (and my favourite colour combo).
3. Crazy-ass patent mock-croc stiletto boots. With 16cm heels. Yes.
4. Flat vintage boots with proper laces (no zips!).
5. Slouchy, soft and worn to the bone.

They say you can tell a person from their shoes. Well, it’s true. If it’s all black and gold and immaculate, then you’re probably onto a winner.
1. These shoes are blindingly hot – hence the overexposure.
2. Blurring the lines between footwear and self-defence.
3. Kurt Geiger is your friend, ladies.
4. On-stage shoe worship at the vintage pageant ball.
5. Great legs think alike.
