Books I like…

enbrogue bloggyEn Brogue by Hannah Rochell gives you more than a sneak peek into the wonderful world of the sneaker through to the loafer and not least the brogue. Celebrating the fashion, history and comfort of the flat you’ll be flattening the pages in delight to discover Hannah’s photo’s, writing and charming illustrations. From watercolour Birkenstocks to colourful pumps and Converse All Stars stars, you’ll be wanting to wear each pair of shoes and frame each picture. It won’t come as a surprise to discover that Hannah is herself a features editor at ‘In Style’ Magazine and together with the book has a website, also entitled En Brogue. At 6ft 1 and always on my feet, both in the kitchen baking and walking pretty much everywhere, flats are without question a best friend of mine. Growing up and into my height I have fond memories of both my seaside jellies and Clarks magic steps. New Blue Shoes by Eve Rice was one of my favourite books growing up and now Rice has made a new friend in Rochelle on my ever expanding bookshelf. I just wish I had the shelf space to accommodate the Pic n Mix of all forty shoes in the book. I’ve decided instead to make do and make up a sweet inspired bookmark. Strawberry shoe laces never looked more in Vogue than in En Brogue…enbrogue2 blog
