Not those ‘Here are 20 sandals you need this month’ posts that I just can’t get on board with (scroll, save, forget by Thursday).

    Leopard Print, Lace & a Bit of Marketing Magic: AW25

    Hola Sugarcups, London, early am. Bums are wet from the pavement. Morning coffee is hot. The city is about to get itself into some kind of seasonality. I’m sitting by the window and watching folks dust off the knit, put on the fake fur, throw on the cheetah print and pixelate, to become one big walking mood board.
