Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

I am a 35 year old lawyer living in SE London. I blog for fun and to indulge in my love of fashion.

Can you tell us a bit about your blog?

It’s a plus size fashion blog I started five years ago after being inspired by a couple of other bloggers I discovered.

How many pairs of shoes would you say you own?

About 15 pairs

What were the last shoes you wore, and why did you wear them?

My trainers as I was walking 5k from work to home.

What was your last shoe purchase, and what made you buy them?

Leather sandals – I saw a woman on the tube wearing a pair and was inspired!

What are your oldest shoes, and why have you had them for so long?

Brown leather Chelsea boots – I’ve had them for three years – they have been re-soled about three times!

Have you ever bought the same pair of shoes again and why?

Yes, my Minnetonka moccasins – I wore my first pair to death. Unfortunately for some reason my second pair haven’t been as comfy.

What would you say are your dream shoes, and why?

Shoes which don’t tear my feet to shreds, make my feet look amazing and survive longer than one season!

Are there any footwear trends you think will be big over the next year?

I feel DMs are making a big return. The grunge look is firmly in.

How do you style your favourite shoes?

I let the shoes be the focus of the outfit.

If you could pick any pair of shoes from Wynsors, what would they be and why?

I would pick rose because I have an obsession with all things tan and these would be a perfect summer shoe.

What is your top shoe fashion tip that doesn’t break the bank?

If you want fast fashion, don’t pay a fortune as it will be out of style within a season. However, with winter boots etc its worth paying more for them to last more than one winter.

Lastly, if you were a shoe, what kind of shoe would you be?

Rather boringly – a slipper! Comfy and homely and everyone loves.
