The Vintage Edit

Here’s what has been rocking my world in this week’s Vintage Edit.

1. Possibly the best modern platform shoe I have seen of late and perfect for wearing with your 1970s flares. Designed by Orla Kiely and sold through Clarks.

I ordered it via Facebook from Vintage Mischief without any clear purpose of how or where it would be used. It now will be given to my son for his 7th birthday this weekend as it goes with his room perfectly.
