this summer is a time for music festivals, gigs, and the theatre (les miserables!!), and in the meantime i need stuff to distract me from reading shakespeare and james joyce - and this is where my enviable photoshop skills come in.

i'd really like to point out the boots in the last collage. they're made by a company called anello and davide who are based in kensington, london. they hand make all their shoes for each individual customer, and the ones i've pictured are an adaptation of the classic chelsea boot which became popular in the sixties due to the beatles (and many other bands of the time) naming them their footwear of choice. my mum told me she saved all her wages for a pair of her own (mid-calf and silver) but has no idea what happened to them, something i can't quite forgive her for.

for the past few years i've been dreaming of having my own pair custom made - but which colour and material would i choose?!
