Sizing, where to buy online, and more | a Celine Shoes review
There’s always the thing that got away. The fleeting crush, the perfect meal your favourite restaurant took off their menu, or, even worse, the shoe that got away.

After moving “home” to the Caribbean, I needed a pair of shoes that could be worn to a sandy Sunday lunch just as easily as a Government building. I’ve always been a fan of espadrilles… but have never been able to find the perfect pair. There’s always something wrong with them. The material is too…
