As the cobbles of Somerset House are hosed down with left-over Vitamin Water and soggy fashionistas head off to the far more couture-friendly climate of Milan I ponder London Fashion Week AW14 and come to the conclusion that, well, TBH I’m a little bit over clothes. SORRY. You see, I tend to get SUPER EXCITED […]
Can a smartphone change your life? Can it? I was going to entitle this post ‘can a smartphone SAVE your life?’ but thought that was a bit dramz. I mean, I s’pose it probably could, if you dialled 999 from it. LOLOLOLOLOL. But can a smartphone really make that much of a difference that something […]
What: Cobblers to Carnaby St! – Terry de Havilland pop-up shop When: Now until mid-July 2013 Where: 8 Ganton Street, London, W1F 7QP Getting there: Nearest tube – Oxford Circus Terry de Havilland, rock ‘n’ roll cobbler and all round Le Blow fave is back in town.

Think light with dark, texture verses shine or elegant sportiness. Dressing well is a game of contrasts and if London Fashion Week street style taught us anything it’s that nonchalant downtown beanies are the perfect foil for hyper-fashion heels.

Designed for the girl who loves Made in Chelsea but can’t afford Louboutins, we saw this one coming a l-o-n-g time ago.

Effectively a simple […]

Ankle straps! Snakeskin! Iconic! Shoemaker to the stars! British! Rock ‘n’ […]
The Le Blow Manifesto. We ask our panel of men (Manel?) for the truth. On important things. Like: girls and their often bonkers shoe choices. Discuss… MAN 1 // Most men don’t give a shit about shoes. And the rest are too busy wanking over a prized pair of patent leather pumps to ever meet […]
Manolos are GO. And we’re not just talking about the whole ‘Drug Mule’ scandal reported last week where smugglers were caught moulding cocaine into shape of Manolo Blahnik shoes, oh no. If we did some kind of ‘hot Vs not’ fashion-o-meter type thingy here on LB and took a reading right about now, it’d most […]
Working in menswear, I’ve been accidentally emulating men’s trends for the last couple of seasons (and it has had absolutely nothing to do with coming into work in yesterday’s clothes with only a sample cupboard full of lumberjack shirts and over sized tees to cover this fact – NOTHING I TELL YOU).
