The Doors – Love Street
People have told me countless times that I’m, “A bit of a hippie at heart”. The thing is, I never, ever really thought that myself.

To brogue or not to brogue?
Amongst the platform, shoe-boot and plimsoll, the brogue is making a come back. I’ve always been a fan of the classic men’s Bugsy Malone brogue (as pictured to your left) and in fact, do own a pair of dolly shoes in a similar guise. Note to self…do rake them out of the seven billion other…
