Merry Christmas from the SOS Crew

Hey y'all!
Happy holidays from us here at SaveOurShoes.
We are both here in London enjoying the festive season. I (Fiona) am going home for a flying visit back to Cork for Christmas and LuJain continues jetsetting with a trip to Barcelona.


Lots of Christmas love from us all here at SaveOurShoes,
Fi and LJ xxxxx

Somerset house adventure, new friends and foods you can not always trust..

News from my new London Life..
-I have been very busy. Hopefully all this busy-ness (as opposed to business) will be positive for me.
-I (finally) made it to SHOWStudio in Somerset house last week with my friend Kate. Personal favourites were the Hunting for Witches part, Gareth Pugh, the ID shoot going on with Nick Knight and drawing all over Naomi Campbell. Somerset house was also extremely festive with all the iceskating and fairy lights. Well worth a visit before SHOWStudio ends.

(There was a pane of glass between me and Giles Deacon. Kinda amazin'.)
-The lovely A&S from DiscoNapLondon invited me to their Blog's first birthday party. It was lovely, meeting new people, eating cakes (homemade, may I add), and general chitchat. I went along knowing noone with only an email invite and a rough idea where I was going. I was so glad to go though, as I made lovely new people.

Kathleen (who has recipes for vegan cupcakes), Satu from Disco Nap, yours truely, and Amna from Disco Nap

Kathleen, Neoma from TwentyTenEightyFour and I.

-You can trust some green food, like this lovely macaroon.But you cannot trust something called a "Green Bomb".However, you can always trust homemade cocktails (part mango, part vodka, part suga' syrup and party ice.. part party).
Who is for homemade cosmos?
Peace, fi xx

Take a New Look this Spring

I have been so busy lately, there is a long list of things I want to write about.
Let's discuss high street mecca.. New Look.. (If you want a laugh, why don't you watch me acting like an eejit on the Style Wars).
I was invited to the preview for the Spring Summer collection and it did not disappoint. And I am not going to even try to write about it, as the pictures do it far more justice than my poorly constructed sentences.







Now to wait for Christmas to be over..
Peace,
Fiona xx

Wildfox Cool-ture

Everyone who reads Grazia/Look/Elle or any other glossy will have come across one of these pictures..

I tried find someone other than Audrina *coughsomeonebettercough* but she is wearing my favourite Wildfox Couture tee. I have been lusting after those tee's on ASOS (one of their main stockists) for months now! Anywho.
The lovely Carina from SelfServiceUK invited us SOS-er's to the Bloggers Wildfox Couture preview for S/S '10. I was the first of the bloggers and felt like the first kid at a birthday party, but this did not stop me from enjoying the clothes.
I loved the vintage look and feel of the materials used, it was all very indie-scenester. Which is very me.

The iconic one..

Vampire styley.
Bowie-baby...

But my favourite by far...



It reminded me so much of the trackie owned by Senior Topshop Buyer Rachel Proud.

Anyway, get thee online to their website (or Asos's Wildfox page.. or to Selfridges) before they all get sold out next year! * Apologies for sideways images, Photobucket dislikes me today*

Peace, fi xx
