The British fever continues....here's Pippa Middleton wearing her red London Sole ballet flats, and a few look for less alternatives:
I fall in love with foreign labels on a regular basis. I brought back a suitcase full of clothes from Marks and Spencer in London (decades ago when the dollar was strong) and I once spent one day of a two day trip to New York at H&M. This was when there was only one store in the country, instead of in every mall like today. Zara, Topshop---I've had flings with them too.
