My super hot new shoes by Camilla Skovgaard were a big hit when I wore them to Nicky’s cabaret performance at The Savoy. As you can see, they had a great time (and that’s Nicky singing in the background).

How he laughed when I showed them to him…and we both agreed that if we were to design a shoe we would have come up with something like this. A sort of Biker boot with a leather tassel in place of the heel. Genius.

Black leather is not something I have used a lot of in interiors, but I think there is a possible idea in this glove advert I found in Harrods magazine. Black leather wings might convince me yet again that wings are not an exhausted cliché.

Nicky’s been sporting some biker looks too as you can see…and to help us all along in our quest for uber coolness, I’ve attached the dictionary of new street lingo he’s been studying after finding it in the Evening Standard. (Nicky’s even been dropping some of the lingo on Twitter - how cool is that?)
