NAME THAT TREND! OXBLOOD ROUND TOES

With trends recycling the way they do, it is no wonder that we run screaming move on from the pointed shoe style from the late nineties and early noughties. On my trip to America last month I unfortunately encountered many in this variety, horrified of course to find them raise up at the tip or covered in faux-alligator.

The trend of today is the love child of Dr. Martens and, I don't know, a very old bottle of wine. These round-toed beauties are available from Paul Smith and Alfred Sergant to name only two. Wear these like you would your more preppy items. Would you buy into this trend?

HEAR THIS: CALGARY BY BON IVER

I try to break away from fashion from time to time. I find it keeps me sane to be someone else for a few hours. Bon Iver has been the perfect escape for me and although I hate the idea of a mass hype for this music, I do want to share it. This is Calgary off of his new self-titled album which comes out at the end of June '11. 'For Emma, Forever Ago' was a masterpiece and completely untouchable but with the new release of this single I have hope for it being as good. Take a moment to listen.
