So after seeing Emma & Lula in their Vivienne Westwood Melissa shoes last week I absolutely HAD to get a pair. How cute are these? Plus they smell really good too.
Remember when you’re a kid and you get new shoes and YOU MUST WEAR THEM IMMEDIATELY and you put your old shoes in the box? Well that’s the vibe at CTG HQ today :)
If you’d like to get yourself a pair you can email renee@loftfashion.com to find out who stocks them somewhere close to you.
Beyond cute.
My friend Emma is the girl in the studio who is always well-dressed – think heels, and a key ’seasonal trend piece’ and perfectly styled hair. It looks like her daughter Lula is embracing her fashionable tendencies at the tender age of 2 – please appreciate these matching mum & daughter Vivienne Westwoods!
My brain hurts from the cuteness.
Emma bought both pairs at Dillon & Jada in the Cape Quarter.
If you are wondering about what to read poolside this summer
I have a great suggestion;)
The Jimmy Choo Story
by Lauren Goldstein Crowe & Sagra Maceira de Rosen.
It tells the story of how Jimmy Choo shoes made it into the world of LVHM, Gucci, Prada etc
Without being more than 5 decades old through amazing PR stunts
How a humble Malaysian called Jimmy started making shoes for Princess Diana and hooked up with London ‘It girl’ Tamara Yeardye
I usually prefer non-fiction and CTG and LA often tease me about my strange taste in books, but this one I think is a great combo of
Love, scandal, fashion, seeding, celebrity, power, intrigue and, above all, a never give up attitude.
But I must give a WARNING with this book
You will want to buy….drumroll a sexy pair of JIMMY CHOO’s
I have my eye on a pair that will only end up in my possession if Venus, Mars and the Sun all align under the Xmas star
The Louboutin shoe that won ‘Sexiest Shoe of the Year’ in some big online contest
The Britney Spears Toxic costume. Good to know the 90s is alive and well.
***update: The kind correctors of the internet have corrected me that this song actually came out in the 2000s. Thanks guys. What would we do without you? PS Britney Spears is the 90s, regardless of when she releases a song. You need only watch WOMANIZER (released 2008) to comprehend this fully. Deal with it.
We at CTG are big fans of the Feiyue brand of sneakers. It’s hard to find stylish chick sneaks. It requires a certain footshape, fit, a je-ne-sais-quoi which most sneakers fail at having. Feiyue are streamlined and elegant and cred enough to wear without feeling lame. And their palette is awesome too. Happily you can now buy them at a-store! Which is just up the road from… everyone in Cape Town. Whew. Or Click here to order online.

At least his label lives on. Love these:
So a huge box of shoes just got delivered to me courtesy of Bronx Ladies! If you’ve ever had a huge box of shoes delivered to you, you’ll know the glow I’m probably radiating right now. I’ve only opened the first box so far but have already fallen in love with this pair.
LOVE. At first fit.
Excuse me squeezing up my jeans so you can get a better look. These are called the Cut Off Cuff in Nude. Going to go through them all this weekend and put together some looks. Hope you all have a great weekend - CTG, PD & LA are going scuba diving. Nervous! Excited! Okay back to shoes…
WHAT IN MIUCCIA PRADA’S NAME IS GOING ON HERE?:
I see what you’re trying to do. Really, I do. I know that this is a mass market take on this Vivienne Westwood shoe:
But… IS IT REALLY??
Forgive me, I must sit down.
Dear Mr Price, I know some great fashion buyers if you guys are struggling. Hell, this design I did while I was on the phone earlier would probably work better than what you’ve got going on over there. You are welcome to use it. You guys can have this one for free, but next one you pay, okay?

Sincerely,
CTG
