DAY TWENTY SIX
DAY TWENTY SIX: Grey, white and green paint-splatter espadrilles, Topshop
Firstly, I once again apologise for posting late. I didn’t get home until about 2:30am last night after flying back from my work trip. By that time, all I could do was kick off my shoes and fall into bed after a 22 hour day. Ouch. Anyway, on with the shoes. Oh look, another pair of espadrilles, I told you I was having a moment, didn’t I?
I bought these in Topshop on the same day as the gold woven leather sandals from Day 25. I dithered about which colour to get them in before eventually settling on the grey pair. Espadrilles were a good choice for my long day - we were up early shooting our final story before a short break and then packing up to make our flight. These are still a little tight on top but the canvas will soon give and after that, I have a feeling they won’t be leaving my feet much!
Worn with : Denim shorts, Zara; ‘Peace’ vest, Zadig & Voltaire; Green cropped parka jacket, River Island; Studded belt, Gap. Not pictured: Floral printed bag, Gap.

DAY TWELVE
DAY TWELVE: White canvas slip-ons, Converse (2001 Limited Edition)
Apologies for the delay in posting today, it’s been a crazy day which started with my handbag breaking just as I got too far from my house to go back and change it.
Anyway, HURRAH it’s Friday so I’m going casual and busting out the Converse again. I bought these while I was still at school and they come out every summer. I didn’t have a chance to wash them before I threw them so they look at bit like they’ve been through the wars. You probably can’t see it very clearly in the picture but they have a red and white swirly floral print that runs along the rubber trim - that coupled with the fact that they’re slip-on rather than the standard lace up style sold them to me all those years ago.
Worn with: Blue skinny jeans, Miss Selfridge; Polka dot vest, H&M; Grey vest, American Apparel; Leopard cardigan, Pure Collection. Not pictured: Grey leather trophy biker, Topshop; Spoon necklace, Aqua; UFO scarf, Topshop Unique; Broken leather saddle bag, Prada.

DAY TEN
DAY TEN: White canvas plimsolls, Primark (2008)
As I’m going to be spending this afternoon running around press days followed by an event this evening, I need some comfy shoes to pound those pavements. My toes are feeling the burn from yesterday’s pair of pumps so softness was a key factor in choosing these plimsolls as today’s pair. Of course, running around town means that by the end of the day these’ll be more grey than white but you can’t have it all. These are another Primark find, one that I liked so much that I rushed out and bought a second pair as there’s always one set in the wash - these were fresh out this morning and as you can see, they’re already looking a little dirty. Oh well.
Worn with: Blue vintage wash Baxter jeans, Topshop; White slubby tee, Asos. Not pictured: Grey blazer, Topshop; UFO print scarf, Topshop Unique; Navy leather bag, Marni;
