We love Philip Treacy, and we love shoes, so when we heard that our favourite hat designer was turning his talents to footwear, we were understandably very excited.
Philip Treacy created a collection of shoes that debuted at Valentino’s Spring / Summer 2010 show during Paris Fashion Week, and boy were they impressive.
Opulent, extravagant and oh so beautiful, the shoes, like Treacy’s hats, are truly works of art. Now we will literally be able to look fabulous from head to toe…
Hat designer Philip Treacy said that “a good hat is the ultimate glamour accessory” and we wholeheartedly agree.
This year make sure all eyes are on you with some fabulous show-stopping headwear from his collection at me me me.
Philip Treacy has designed hats for Alexander McQueen and for Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel. He has been awarded the title of British Accessory Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards on five, yes five (!), occasions. He also created that SJP hat that got everyone talking at the Sex and the City film premiere in London (she must have an amazing hat collection!)

The New Year is finally upon us; and with spring and summer comes weddings. Yes, the 2010 wedding season is just around the corner and at me me me we think your outfit is crucial even if it’s not your big day.
Whether you’re mother of the bride, a distant cousin or even a plus one, the key to a successful wedding-guest outfit is planning in advance – it’s no fun shopping the day before in a frantic attempt to find shoes, a dress, and accessories that all co-ordinate, not to mention the worry that someone else will be wearing the same thing.
Stand out for all the right reasons and plan your outfit around a beautiful designer hat – our favourite wedding accessory. Now is the perfect time to purchase; with our fabulous designer hat sale featuring stunning designs from Philip Treacy and Kokin New York you can choose a unique piece of designer headwear at a fraction of the designer price tag.
We just love Kokin New York’s Secret Garden Brim hat. The floral adornment makes it perfect for spring and summer weddings. Philip Treacy’s headdress in pale pink is equally perfect for both spring and summer – co-ordinate with a floaty dress and elegant heels for a feminine and glamorous look.
For something with a little more edge, Philip Treacy’s black Teardrop headdress with loops and feathers is incredibly chic and in classic black it will complement any outfit. Kokin New York’s Natural Spike Luncheon hat is truly show-stopping, team with your trusty LBD and let your hat do the talking…

Now I must admit I don’t have an awful lot of knowledge on Royal Ascot, my general gist on the whole event is big track, lots of horses and posh people. In fact, come to think of it I probably don’t know much about racing in general. However, I do enjoy each year, as many of us do, checking out the fabulous fashions, eccentric hats and striking headpieces seen on the ladies of Royal Ascot. Not to mention having a good old gossip on who we think looks race day chic and who pulled the worst fashion faux-pas. I have have had a little look and put together a few of my fav pics from Ascot 2009. It was also good to see Camilla Parker Bowles in a Philip Treacy creation, looking very chic in pastel pinks, we have this very creation in our Clayton Road shop and of course online so if you fancy following in royal footsteps come have a look!
