Daily discovery: space-age shoe heaven

If I were a futuristic space Goddess with a rocket ship and a laser gun, these would be my first choice for footwear. Then again you don't really need to visit space to be a modern day Barbarella. I can think of plenty of (more justifiable) reasons to add these Jerome C Rousseau heels to my shoe collection... Like the fact that silver is so perfect with white tights as well as black, or because their design is, quite frankly, beautiful.

Pockets exposed as they should be

Ask anyone who has ever encroached the subject with me and they can tell you that I stand firm in my belief that Summer denim shorts are best served with a pockets exposed beyond their hem. We've looked at the subtle, but then there are those denim shorts, such as this pair from Dsquared2, which take exposed pockets and make them a statement piece. So much so, in this instance, that they compete with the Chanel sandals for your attention.

Kaja Sokola: beauty and depth

This may be something I've mentioned before, especially with regards to Billy Kidd's photography, but it's worth reiterating. With minimal styling - in this case a simple black lace bra and some thigh high socks - absence of colour and no-fuss backdrops, it's up to the photographer and the model to create all the depth and engagement in a shoot. Kaja Sokola brings the poses and emotion in this one that perfectly compliment the striking photography.

Mona Johannesson: soft retro styling

An exercise in retro ladylike glamour, with '60s full skirts and adorable soft styling, this pictorial from Elle Sweden has us smitten. Note how well an understated knit and slouched down pair of socks in heels can tone down an otherwise glamorously vintage look.

Chanel biker boots

By no means new, but still making waves on the streets, the Chanel biker boot is part future warrior, part cyberpunk, but wholly the must-have Chanel boot for the season.

There's an up close look at the boots after the jump.

Forever New welcomes Summer

Forever New's philosophy is in bringing out the feminine girly-girl who (supposedly) resides inside every one of us; and at last night's launch of the retailer's new collection, that philosophy shone through like a supernova in a pitch black sky. In sticking to their signature style the brand keeps its following frilled, flowered, and above all faithful. That much was clear from the crowd in attendance: not since it's early days would the grand ballroom at the historic Rippon Lea Estate have housed so many blonde curls and ruffled gowns (though undoubtedly now with shorter hemlines).

With her pumpkin pie sweetness and crystal clear voice, popstar Delta Goodrem turned out to be a well chosen poster girl for the collection, performing a couple of numbers on a white baby grand while wearing a floor-length strapless gown from the collection. The parade that followed was not short on outfits, giving us everything from casual maxi-dresses and denim pieces through to garden party frocks and cocktail numbers.

Cropped and cuffed

When it comes to festival fashion, what could be better than a peep of toned midriff above some relaxed, cuffed shorts?

The addition of some winged shoes, of course.
