Last week it was Ugg fluffy sliders, this week it's all about sneaker wedges. The latest trend to hit the footwear scene is a unique combination between a pair of wedges and a pair of comfy trainers. Dubbed 'dad sneaker heels' by Twitter users, the shoes created by DSquared2 have caused a stir across the internet. Unveiled at Milan Fashion Week, the shoes boast a wedge heel, three front straps and feature bright shades of red, white, orange, yellow, pink, green and blue. People on social media were very confused by the design. One person said: "That looks like some costume accessories in Power Rangers or something." Others compared it to something out of a Transformers movie or anime show. Some people also noticed they looked a little similar to Balenciaga's platform Crocs, which were released in October last year and sold for £600 a pair.

Suit made for Meghan Markle’s dad to wear at Royal Wedding bought for £2,000
It was meant to be worn by Thomas Markle, as he accompanied his daughter down the aisle at Windsor Castle. But the suit Meghan had made for her father to wear on her big day, never made it off the hanger. Until now, that is. The smartly cut 'semi-bespoke' three-piece made by Oliver Brown, was recently spotted on PR guru Johnno Spence, who wore the outfit to Ascot, while sitting just yards away from the Duchess of Sussex. Mr Spence is well-known in the horse racing world and is believed to have purchased the suit for half-price, as well as several other items Meghan had personally commissioned for her father. These include three shirts with size 18 collars and double cuffs, in blue yellow and white, a navy blue weekend suit, a single-breasted waistcoat and a set of tails, all in size XL.

This Irish woman recounts her unlikely friendship with Meghan Markle as a dogwalker in Toronto
Having spent a fair chunk of my twenties going from unpaid internships to waiting tables, to more unpaid internships, I decided it was time to move abroad. However, after nearly a month in the city I was no closer to a dream job in TV. So I set myself a goal; find other work in a week or spend my last few toonies on a flight home. It was in this stressful week, that a friend suggested I give dog walking a go. After having lived off French fries for four weeks, I sorely needed exercise. As a bonus, I loved both dogs and money. I handed in my resume the following day. ‘A Leg Up’, was a dog walking service which provided an extravagant range of services including training classes, doggy day care and puppy visits. Over six months, I would visit over 50 different dogs, as well as a dozen or so cats and one flatulent iguana. I spent the rest of that summer and autumn working as a dog walker. It was tough going at times. I often had people shout at me as many of the dogs I … [Read more...] about This Irish woman recounts her unlikely friendship with Meghan Markle as a dogwalker in Toronto
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner divides opinion with her sartorial choice at Rose Leslie and Kit Harringtons’ nuptials
Turner, who arrived at the church with her on-screen sibling and off-screen best friend Maisie Williams, opted for an ensemble a little bolder than typical wedding attire. The actress, who stars as Sansa Stark in the HBO series, wore black thigh-high heeled Louis Vuitton boots, a red mini-coat with lace-up sides, a black slip underneath, and a Louise Vuitton checkerboard-patterned box bag. She completed the look with a pair of statement red sunglasses. Turner made quite the statement as she arrived at the church for the wedding, which later took place at the Leslie family’s Scottish castle. Her pal Maisie Williams, who stars as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones, also looked chic in a black jumpsuit and red shoes. Scores of Turner's fans applauded her sartorial choice on Twitter.
