Do good, look good

Monday night at Howick Place, London: to a charity auction at Phillips de Pury hosted with Tatler in aid of the Bhopal Medical Appeal. In the sale was a collection of traditional Indian water pots customised by artists including Tracey Emin, Anish Kapoor and Sir Peter Blake. In attendance was a stylish and informed crowd of committed supporters of this excellent cause – many with excellent taste in footwear.

It was a night for black leggings and black opaque hose. I loved the nude-and-black lace Alaïa ankle boots (top) and these Nicholas Kirkwood midnight blue lace wedges (above).

Two views above of a fabulous pair of leopard print Louboutin stilettos, accented with a gold chain slung low on the heels. I also loved these understated but very cool Miu Miu shoeboots (below).

These black patent Prada ankle boots looked wonderful paired with ruched black leggings. Well done ladies: a very satisfying lesson in how to look good whilst simultaneously doing good.
