It’s fast approaching Halloween and there’s no better time to showcase AW08’s hottest trend: Gothic Romance. Aggy works it (above) and looks anything but scary…typical! Think heavy metal jewellery, deep black layers, sleek leather and witchy, giant knits. The new softer side of goth hit the YSL, Luella and Givenchy catwalks generating a masterclass in all things moody and sheer. Your new autumn/winter uniform needs to include some staples to add a real dark side to your wardrobe and there’s no better way to do this than gliding by on a pair of scarily high heels! Showstopping! Might we put forward these beauties by Schutz? Stappy, black and totally fab. No need to be scaring any small children wearing these!

Fashion fans in the Midlands will be familiar with 69 Magazine and our presence in the Autumn 09 issue..I can reveal that these were featured and adored by the fashion editor for their Gothic Romance shoot. Splendid!

We’re not convinced that she has a real shortage of friends, but nevertheless, Paris Hilton has landed in London to film her new MTV reality TV show where she’s on a mission to get herself a British BFF…..

Love her or hate her, you have to admit that America’s self-confessed Princess has great taste in shoes..

Opt for her glamorous take on this season’s hottest trim- bows – with a pair of Schutz in Shakira (black really floats our boat), or get her look with a subtle take on satin covered chic here by new brand Ash that’s truly fit for a princess…

While most of the ladies at Soloro HQ did a unanimous “OUCH” after seeing these images of Lady Beckham, you’ve got to hand it to her. The woman is brave! When you’re one half of the world’s most papped celeb couples, comfortable shoes just aren’t an option. Six inch killer heels combined with three high spirited boys just can’t be much fun.

However, Posh seems to think that heels are the only way forward. She said: “I just can’t concentrate in flats. I could go to the gym if I wore flats, I’d love to go to the gym, but I just can’t get my head around the footwear”.

Now there’s an excuse not to sweat buckets, if ever we heard one……

However, for you ladies who want to look glam but just can’t handle the pain, we have the perfect solution. They have just landed on the Soloro HQ doorstep…these are absolutely fab! By up-and-coming Italian label Apepazza, they’re beautiful enough to draw a fair few compliments without giving you a pained expression. Wonderful!
