Weather and Footwear Go Together Like Gin and Tonic!

Weather! As a nation we are obsessed by it and as a retailer of footwear and fashion we are even more so.  It effects our buying, our window displays and most importantly what our customers want.  So you can imagine how much the industry has been talking about it and trying to predict it over the past few winter months.  Back in October I 'tweeted' that everyone on the high street was enjoying the pleasant surprise of an Indian Summer with their summer sandals gettting one last outing while I was busy unpacking the first of our very big delivery of snowboots! And so today I find myself in the same situation with the forecasters telling us all that snow is finally on its way and temperatures reaching -12...... and what am I doing............yes, ofcourse, making room on our shelves for our summer sandals!

So weather aside, I can say that our Spring/Summer collection is going to be fantastic and I am very excited by all our deliveries that are now starting to come in.  As usual Hudson have arrived first and we have a great selection of Spring boots and brogues - perfect for the transition between fleece lined boots and sandals.

At £130 these H by Hudson Inigo tan brogues are a perfect Spring staple, leather lined, leather sole and the tassle detail can be removed.  We also have the popular Keira boot in beige and tan, back by request, and is already selling fast in store.  The below Pipet and Mirar ankle boots are great for now with jeans and then for summer with little dresses and jumpsuits - I love them both but can't decide which will be my summer boot of 2012!

We have a new Italian footwear brand, Francesca, showcasing at Attic this season.  The softest leather, mixed with comfort and at incredibly reasonable prices we have a selection of their wedges coming at the end of this month. 

Our scarves from Bindya New York are also arriving any day and due to the impressive following they now have we have had no choice than to quadruple our order.  If you have not yet had the chance to catch them in store then make sure next time you are in you have a look as they are so soft, with most being a mix of wool and cashmere or silk and cashmere.  They are all hand printed in India and so all unique with the most stunning mix of colours and patterns. 

I promise to include some more pics in my next blog and hopefully some of our lovely customers will be happy to model the shoes and accessories for you!

I will also update you with more of our new stock when it arrives......still to come.......Aspiga sandals, Bloch, Lola Cruz, Feud, more H by Hudson and Chinese Laundry.

Ooh, and how could I forget the new delivery of delicious Wilbur & Gussie clutch bags. Here is just one to tempt you with........more in store!


Finally for anyone unable to think about summer footwear yet we do still have a few snow boots available in store and online! Enjoy the snow this weekend!
