Don't laugh, it's green!

We have decided to go green here at Laura J and in doing so we have made the decision to pull the plug on our gorgeous purple bags in favour of something a little more earth loving. After much deliberation we settled on a white bag with Laura J London across the front in pink...much lighter, smaller and recyclable. Score. Then the other day I had to take a picture of one of our regulars out in the rain doing her bit to recycle the bag...not exactly what we had in mind, but it did make us giggle. If only all environmentally friendly projects were this amusing.

A journey to Atlanta

This week i've been looking at the graphic shoe stylings of Atlanta Weller. And man are they something! LFW is just round the corner and Atlanta is showing her SS11 collection. I'm intrigued to see the new designs as they are supposedly inspired by dominos and Logan's Run....erm, can't quite imagine what this will be like...space ages spots...too literal? This is why i'm not a designer. In any case I thought I'd post some of the amazing AW designs by the ever talented Miss Weller because they are too, dare I say it, "fierce" not to post...enjoy! x V

Carrrnival!!!

It's almost carnival time! To celebrate we have just put in a fitting window display for the end of the sale. Time to dance in the arrival of all the new AW stock. Yipee.

The Rainbow of Olympia

I have been browsing the Charlotte Olympia AW10 collection this week and I LOVE them...But there is one problem... I don't think it's possible to pick just one colour. Okay well if you twist my arm I suppose I could be forced to choose the emerald green pair.

Now whilst I was searching for them I found out a little fact that I suppose I should already know...the new Charlotte Olympia boutique on Maddox Street not only sells these rainbow beauties but also I hear that the door handles of the shop have been designed by no other than the king of all awesome jewellery Mr Dominic Jones! Mental note...must pay the new shop a little visit.

Esska AW10

This is a fun time of year...it's the time when all the new AW stock starts arriving. And I can tell you that when you spend everyday looking at the same styles the arrival of new stock is a positive breath of fresh air.

Thought I would give you a sneak peek at the fab Esska boots that we are getting in this week.

Yey, new stock. Can barely wait to try on the chelsea boot.

Shoes, Shoes Shoes. Shoes are all you need.

This weeks window is our little homage to the Beatles Abbey Road album cover. Because after all love isn't all you need. A girl also needs shoes. Hopefully our sale will help you out with the latter.

AW10 Lust-Have

Lace and leather, camel coloured everything, bags that seem to have fallen out of Maggie Thatcher's cupboard and the return of the bootcut trouser; It would seem that fashion is having a "grown up" moment. Amidst the Celines and McCartneys of this world there seem to be a fair few sensible shoes around this season. I have to admit that I wasn't all too happy about this. I think I may have ranted before about the kitten heel so I'll hold my tongue this time, but in compiling my favourite shoe styles for the coming season I have to admit that some of the ones I will defintely be sporting this Autumn Winter are our own brand beauties and low and behold the heels won't send me rocketing into space. They aren't quite the average kitten heel but they are very stylish. My wish list for AW10 is as follows...

The gorgeous Laura J London Niccolo Ankleboot...just can't wait for this one to get here.

Dolce and Gabanna's little lace numbers....erm...tres sexy

Kurt Geiger's Victor boot

Another Laura J boot here. The Winifred riding boot is my all time favourite riding boot and we are bringing it back this year! Yipee!

Now I know I have already mentioned this one but it is my new shoe obsession...yes you're right the Burberry shearling boot. MUST HAVE THEM.

Now I must also remember to buy some clothes to go with them so as not to frighten the London populous.
