NEW YORK FASHION WEEK SS15: DAY FOUR

New York Fashion Week SS15 day four was pretty much a show stopper. Designers such as Victoria Beckham; DKNY; and Public School hit the runway – as well as Zoë Jordan’s NYFW début (she was a regular at LFW).   We’re more suede, more patch pockets,  and more retro floral prints.  Take a peek at some of our favourite pieces of the day, what we loved about them and what we didn’t love so much.

ZOE JORDAN SS15

Zoë Jordan

LOVED:  The cracked leather; swashes of greyscale paint strokes; polished city shorts.

NOT SO MUCH:  Here “logo-mania” pieces screamed Ikea bed spread.

 VICTORIAA BECKHAM SS15 1 VICTORIAA BECKHAM SS15 2

Victoria Beckham

LOVED:  The laced-up white sweater; monochrome maxi length dresses;

NOT SO MUCH:  Forgot it was a Spring/Summer collection for a moment (no problem there) then BAM right at the end of the collection a lethal injection of pink florals!

PUBLIC SCHOOL 1 PUBLIC SCHOOL 2

Public School

LOVED: Absolutely every little piece of it apart from…

NOT SO MUCH: The blue prints

 DKNY 1 DKNY 2

DKNY

LOVED: Why did DKNY just take us all the way back to school though; to a time when forehead finger waves were a necessity to absolutely every single hairstyle?! As you may have seen, we’re not ones for much colour and print, but this collection took it – could it be the nostalgia clouding our clean, minimalistic fashion judgement?

NOT SO MUCH: *crickets*

 THAKOON

Thakoon

LOVED: Tropical prints; looser silhouette; longer lengths; silk robe like trench.

NOT SO MUCH: Raffia tassels

YIGAL AZROUEL SS15

Yigal Azrouël

LOVED: Leaf printed jammies; khaki green bomber with diamond cutouts; blush pink/black/palm tree print combo

NOT SO MUCH:

TRACY REESE SS15

LOVED: The styling of the first half of the show! So unexpected, so right!

NOT SO MUCH: 

GET BABY SOFT FEET AT HOME WITH FOOTNER EXFOLIATING SOCKS

feet

As the summer begins to fade and the ankle boots come out in exchange for the sliders, it’s time to give our feet some much needed TLC.  After a summer of wearing various variations of sandals, unless you’re getting regular pedicures (and by regular, we mean daily), we’re guessing you wont want to be putting your feet in the pedicurist’s face just yet – get baby soft feet at home with Footner Exfoliating Socks.

The new improved Footner Exfoliating Socks have been reformulated to deliver soft, supple feet in half the time.  Patience may be a virtue, but not when it comes to waiting for the infamous Footner peel to start.  Worry not, the new fast acting formula delivers a cosmetic peel twice as fast as the original – on average in seven rather than fourteen days.  It now takes only three days (or less) for the peel to start, followed by just four days of peeling to reveal perfect feet.

There is no filing, scraping or grating required – simply pre-soak feet in water, slip on the Footner Exfoliating Socks and kick back for 60 minutes.

The active AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids) in Footner, also used in cosmetic skin peels, soften the hard skin build up and loosen the ‘glue’ that binds dead skin cells together, starting the exfoliation process naturally.  Only the dead skin cells are removed, leaving feet pedi-perfect.

New Footner Exfoliating Socks are also free from parabens, perfume and allergens.

Why do we get hard skin?

Relentless pressure and friction cause an accumulation of dead skin cells which is very difficult for the body’s natural exfoliation removal process to cope with.  This is when a build up of hard skin occurs and if not treated it can develop into callus and even cracked and bleeding heels which can be extremely painful and unsightly.

For best results…

Pre-soak feet, then simply cut the socks along the dotted line, slip your feet in and use the adhesive strap to close the top.  Slip your own socks over the top for a comfortable fit, then put your feet up and relax for 60 minutes.  Remove the socks and wash your feet in warm water to remove any residual AHA gel.  In less than three days, the peel will begin and lasts for around a week.

Footner Exfoliating Socks are available from Boots RRP £19.99, both in store and online at www.boots.com.  For more product information go to www.myfootner.co.uk or @FootnerUK
