This month, your Shoeblogger has been spending more time than usual in Hipster Heaven (or, as The Royal Mail refers to it, London E2.) The photography exhibition I’ve been curating, Modern Love, opened on April 12th at Theprintspace gallery in Shoreditch (click here for info about the exhibition and here for the gallery’s site. The exhibition is currently open to the public, so please do check it out). Plus a succession of friends and visitors passing through town post-Easter means that I have been shuttling between Da Bush and The ’Ditch (ahem) on an almost-daily basis.
Sunday’s excuse to go east was the Humble Sale, hosted by style site What I Wore Today. For those unfamiliar with the term, a “jumble sale” is where people get together to sell personal stuff – be it unwanted clothes, old books, home-made cakes, whatever – generally with the aim of raising money for charity. This weekend’s event was a small but carefully put-together event (I can’t use the word “curated” twice in one post) – hence “Humble” – with proceeds going to the British Heart Foundation.
There were some great pairs of shoes, though sadly the grey Miu Miu ankle boots (above) weren’t my size. I did score a rather excellent t-shirt, though, thanks to Shade, wearer of the red Ralph Lauren deck shoes below and purveyor of very cool clothes via iwhoretees.com
From Old Street to Spitalfields and Brick Lane, where the spring sunshine and an ever-expanding street market made for a festival atmosphere. Floral patterns, bright colours, and bare skin were the order of the day.
I particularly liked the multi-coloured Superga plimsolls (top), and the blue-banded Ferragamo flats (above) teamed with hot pink blossoming capri pants.
Even the girls opting to go a tad more covered-up were keeping it cute. How sweet are these black, white and orange Mary Janes worn with grey chevron-patterned tights? Ditto the brown suede moccasins with grey fake-fur muffs.
