Chase me, Chase me!

Oh how I love a good nose around a PR company's sample cupboard. When my friend Jacqueline from the lovely Chase PR invited me down to their offices, I knew I was in for a (shoe) treat. With an office crammed full of gorgeous, fashionable little ladies, is it any wonder what I found lurking in their closet?

Just a tiny bit of info for you... Chase look after the likes of, to name a few, Gant, Paul Costelloe, Red or Dead, Geox, plus size amazingness Simply Be and vivaladiva.com. In short, they like to be surrounded by lots of pretty things.

What I loved about this particular trip is the amount of fab men's stuff I found. Paul Costelloe is the obvious one, what with his incredible tailoring talents. For this season expect to find contrasting collars from Paul; brown suits with red collars, tweed jackets with brown collars. The linings he uses are utterly gorgeous too, purple silks and swirly patterns. The beaded scarf (below) was one of the best surprises from my visit to Chase. I even gasped. The colours were out of this world, with green tasseled ends to finish it off.

If you want good shoes boys, take a look at the offerings from Herring Shoes below. Brogue-alicious! Herring, a family run business founded in 1966, are now one of the biggest stockists of quintessentially British shoes, from brogues to boots. Wear yours with jeans or trousers, that's the beauty of the brogue, oh-so versatile! Prices for below: brown and navy - £225; khaki - £175; tan - £175 and tan and cream - £195 (see all Herring's styles at www.herringshoes.co.uk)

Girls - I've officially found you all a replacement to the boring wellies I've seen everywhere... the patent Geox boots below (the purple is a must!). They're AMAZE in every sense of the word, and as for the furry snow boots, I asked for them in a size 11 for yours truly (red would be my personal choice) but unfortunately they don't do big boy sizes! They are SO wearable, so fun, so fab. The wellies are £95 and the snow boots are £109 (click onto www.geox.com to see more styles).
