The Journal

I am a storyteller at heart. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you know that the stories rarely start with shoes.

Between different international sizing systems, varying fits, and the fact that no two feet are ever quite the same, it can feel like a bit of a guessing game.   

They carry you through big moments, everyday errands, dancing-all-night evenings… and if you care for them properly, they’ll stay with you for years (and still look fabulous doing it).

Your wedding shoes are so much more than just an accessory. They carry you down the aisle, through hours of celebrating, and onto the dance floor for that first song. Getting them right is one of the most important (and most fun!) parts of planning your bridal look.

Today I'm reminding you not to forget about Navy. It's such an underestimated colour for occasionwear.

I get asked a lot about styling colourful shoes. I think the instinct can be that a loud shoe needs a loud dress. I like more balance and to be unexpected. A colour pop is exactly that, the pop. The pop should stand out.

Like any creative, I hate being copied. I would make a terrible influencer, I hide new things until I know they've sold out lol! But when it comes to Nicki Hoyne ReLOVE, I am eagerly awaiting the copycats. It's the future of brands. A total no brainer.

The Autumn Winter 2026 collection is really taking shape. I feel a massive reset and redirection coming. Something solid and grounded if that makes sense?
