Kendall Jenner's trick to surviving in heels

Kendall Jenner is without doubt the model of the moment. With every designer fighting to get her on their catwalk, she has to be on top of her game at all times. Along with her model friends, including Cara Delevingne and Gigi Hadid, Kendall is often seen sporting the highest of heels as part of her enviable wardrobe so it’s no surprise that women everywhere want to know the secret behind surviving a whole day, and often night, in the ultimate stilettos.
Kendall says: ‘You have to keep moving your feet. I switch off from one foot to another a lot, like this. (She crosses one foot behind the other.)’

Although a lot of people have taken to Twitter to joke about Jenner’s advice, it isn’t actually as simple as it sounds. She isn’t suggesting just walking, as pointed out a number of times, the trick is to evenly distribute your weight between each foot. Keeping the pressure on the ball of one foot for too long will cause rubbing and blistering, and all women know that once this starts to notice, it’s difficult to think of anything else.


This is great advice for anyone looking to get into runway modelling as, especially if you reach the heights that Kendall as reached, you could be on your feet for hours on end.

Winter Wonders

The winter weather is fast approaching and the freezing cold air is well upon us. Unprepared, I was leaving the house un-layered and vulnerable. Deciding I couldn't face it any longer, especially having to leave the house at 6am every morning, I caved and went shopping for some warm winter clothes. 


Along with a couple of items I probably didn't need to buy, I found these two beautiful, thick woolen scarves. The floral one was an absolute bargain buy for just £5 in Primark. It's got so many different colours in it, it can easily be worn with most things and it's length makes it extremely cosy. 
The red tartan one was a little more pricey at £19.50 from Marks and Spencer. As I currently work in there, I have had my eye on it for a while but finally decided it was time. 

Marks and Spencer have been a hidden gem as of late, especially their Limited and Autograph departments. So if you're looking for something a little bit unique that not everyone is wearing, unlike the ever-popular Topshop, I definitely suggest giving them a chance. If you can, head to one of the bigger stores such as Marble Arch for a great selection.
