Suki is pleased to see me home from a fleeting trip to Bologna for Lineapelle Fair to find leather, components and other delicious gems for next spring / summer’s CLEO B shoe collection. In fact, her favourite perch has been taken over by leather samples, colour cards and other such goodies! How exciting!

I’m wearing Glossy at my desk as I work, oh beautiful Glossy how I love you – with your lustrous golden heel, your devilish shiny black colour. Your glistening gold adorno keeps catching my computer-tired eye . Glossy I want to eat you up. Glossy you are all mine!!!!!

Dearest Glossy....oh how you make my world a better place

My kitchen turned into a chocolate nest making factory in preparation for my first CLEO B London personal order evening  last Thursday. Now I just remember it as a busy blur of calculator tapping and shoe chatting, but No.2  was swarming with so many shoe fans and friends, it was pretty hard to get rid of them at the end. When we were finally done, my exhausted shoe team sat down and ate sausages for dinner (followed by nests). Photos tell the full story!  I want to say a massive thanks too all who helped me out….. the boys- Matt my fabulous doorman, Alvaro my lifesaver, Charlie my favourite boy & the girls Sar, Moo & Clar…. xxxxx. 

What a turnout! Last weekend I invited friends to a  CLEO B ‘Shoe Breakfast’ in Cheshire. The shoes went down exceptionally well and numerous personal orders were placed – more than I expected. It ain’t just city dwellers who like CLEO B…… Suki the dog played her usual role of treading on shoes and jumping on sofas, but it wouldn’t have been the same without my mini shoe mascot.
