We heart Preston, looking fabulous in his Positano Amalfis. They really are the ultimate summer slip on.

Obsessed with one of our favourite Fin’s ambassadors, George, and his choice of Fin’s today.

Like a rabbit from a hat, our aforementioned favourite Fin’s brand ambassador, muse and trickster extraordinaire, Drummond Money-Coutts, appeared as if from nowhere at Fin’s HQ this afternoon to cast his spell of approval onto the Fin’s Drummond Evening Slipper, due out in September. Thanks to Sally’s photography skills, we managed to capture the magic moment adequately.


We were racked with worry that we hadn’t heard from our absolute favourite conjuring Fin’s ambassador for a couple of months. Our visits from Drummond Money-Coutts are our favourite special treats, as he swoops into Fin’s HQ and performs magic shows just for us. Well, it turns out he has been taking his wizardry further afield than the King’s Road, and was to be found in India, producing the latest “DMC televisual project”, which, thrillingly, is now available for viewing.
Darling Drummond, please don’t forget us when you reach David Copperfield status.
Designing shoes for men is tough when you’re a girl. Why I don’t design dangerously sharp studded leather ballet flats like the ones below, for example, is beyond me sometimes.
Designing for men does has its perks, however, like a constant stream of handsome boys coming up to Fin’s HQ to buy shoes and sometimes dinner. On occasion, however, we need some outside inspiration to truly understand the sartorial needs and desires of a man’s shoe-drobe. Enter Eric Musgrave, a fan of Fin’s since the beginning, and always on hand to offer sage words. A fashion journalisn juggernaut, he has just published a fabulous new book, Sharp Suits, an near-fetishistic guide to the 3 and 1/2 metres of fabric that lovingly creates the most handsome-making item of clothing a boy can wear (apart from a pair of Fin’s, of course).
If you are looking for some bright ideas for your next trip to Savile Row, this is the bedtime reading for you.
Eric Musgrave’s Sharp Suits (Pavilion, £25) is available at Amazon
We were so excited when Daniel Merriweather popped into Fin’s HQ to see us. We are such big fans of his, especially that song, Red, which we often sing along to in the office. Daniel was off on tour and wanted some super comfy shoes to wear on stage, so we kitted him out in some Montecito Plums, and obvio in some Rio Reds for him to sing our fave tune in…
