This week’s top website discovery is shoescribe.com. It’s not dedicated entirely to flat shoes, but I love the edit – lots of colour, nothing ugly (I’m often surprised just how many ugly shoes there are […]
block party
*holds hands up* OK, OK, this blog does veer towards the more masculine of shoe styles, I admit. So I reckon it’s about time I did a post on some fabulous feminine flats. Especially considering […]
can you feel it?
Well I can’t quite believe that it’s taken me this long to discover this lovely little brand. Maybe it’s because the shop is in Notting Hill and I rarely go further west than Bond Street […]

Now and then, it’s nice to have a little lust after something you can’t have. No, I’m not talking about Daniel Craig in Skyfall (Mr Brogue will be relieved to hear that) but beautifully crafted […]
en vacances
Sadly I haven’t managed that winter sun holiday yet, but I have just returned from a lovely long weekend on the Isle of Wight, which was stormy and wet. So how do you stay stylish […]
If you have an interest in masculine shoes, chances are you also have a penchant for snazzy socks. I know I do. It’s all part of the look, right? A turned up jean to show a peek of colour really brightens a drab, foggy day like today.

I’ve long been a fan of Gap socks. That whole 3 for £10 thing: what’s not to love? There’s regularly a huge choice of my favourite patterns – spots and stripes – and they last ages too. My most recent haul last week was very successful. I particularly like these grey multi stripe ones.

This season though, I’m experimenting with Argyle socks for the first time. Nothing too crazy – because Argyle socks can be REALLY crazy – just a subtle diamond print on a dark coloured sock.

My new discovery for great socks is Muji, and it certainly has plenty of Argyle options to choose from. Its socks are a little more expensive than Gap’s but still come in at a reasonable £4.95 per pair. And you’ll notice a cute dotty pair in the mix too for good measure.

So if you want to add a little colour to an otherwise plain outfit, why not slip on some colourful socks this autumn?
