JACKET

Claire: This dress I got for a fiver from Ebay, the label is in Japanese so I have no idea of the make, but I love it because its like a proper Japanese schoolgirl dress, very naughty, and a bit too short! The jacket is real fur, apparently its made of muscat – I have no idea what that is but they make very warm snuggly coats! I get why people don’t approve of fur, but personally I don’t see the difference between that and eating meat, neither are essential and its up to the individual.

BAG

Claire: So, basically its all about the bag! This is my favourite thing that I own, it looks like a punk Chanel, its awesome. Its too ostentatious to wear with much though, but definitely livens up a dull outfit. Sylvie’s shoes are so cute, she can’t even walk yet and she has better trainers than I do!

PLAYSUIT

Claire: This playsuit is one of the most versatile things that I own, its from Kate Moss’s first collection for Topshop so its a few years old now and I still love it. Its great in the summer with bare legs and sandals, or in the winter with big boots and thick tights – or for a night out with heels. You get the picture! I wear these boots almost every day, they are a bit more feminine than most of the worker boots around- more like old style hobnail school boots like they wore in the original St Trinians films. Ive just realised there is a bit of a schoolgirl theme going on in my wardrobe- worrying perhaps? Sylvie looks adorable in her bear suit- I love the little paws on the feet! People stop us in the street and coo over her whenever she wears it.

I’m writing this piece after just having finished the walk with Nathalie and although I almost went flying a few times throughout on some stray twigs and a pebble, I managed to stay upright for the entire walk (thank you to Nathalie’s arm) and make it to the finish line in one piece!

As you can see, Nathalie looks very glam, rocking her Urban Outfitters jumpsuit with her beautiful Scorah Pattullo ‘Natalie’ heels…

Here I’ve decided to go casual with Topshop jeans and a Zara jacket. I love these Liu Jo shoes; they can rock any outfit – no?!

Poor Tracey-Kay! After getting all excited about this walk – she had to cut it short after an accident on the way involving her flip flops, sharp gravel and an unfortunate trip resulting in a very sore and bleeding toe!

So whilst Tracey-Kay was getting her poorly toe cleaned up and patched, Nat and I had to march on and catch up with the other troopers…

With Louboutins, Rupert Sanderson, Fendi and other amazing footwear brands on show, we got so trigger happy with the camera – however this was the only stable shot of the walk we actually managed to get!

Once we got through to the halfway line, we were greeted by some lovely men in tuxedo’s offering us refreshments and a very limber woman doing yoga wearing Marta Jonsson heels – look!

A few random people who saw us asked why a bunch of women were walking round Battersea Park in high heels. Unfortunately it wasn’t so clear as nothing was branded as ‘Action for Children‘ and all our balloons had the Marta Jonsson logo on. We think next year more awareness needs to be made for the actual cause than anything else – after all, this is the reason why we all abused our feet right? Props to Marta though, she is pretty fabulous – her company, Logo 69, design and make shoes for many of the best known high street fashion brands in UK and Europe. Here she is on the right…

At the end of the walk, Marta announced the winners of the most glamorous outfit and the highest heel…Nathalie thought she had the prize in the bag with her 10.5cm heels but the winner walked in a whopping 13cm heel! The two winners were friends with an obvious love for passion as you can clearly see. The lady on the left won the most glamorous outfit prize and the lady on the right won the highest heel prize, she’s wearing Rupert Sanderson heels, our hot favourite from the walk! Here they are…

We had such a good time and we would definitely do something like this again, we’ll keep you posted on any events we’ll be attending. Brace yourselves, we’re on a roll…

Please check back for our video blog on this event very soon! Check out all the pictures from this event here.
