When my daughter was starting ‘big’ school this month (post nursery days), I was dreading the even earlier wake-up times. The household now rises by 6 am sharp, and she is out of the house with her father within 45 frantic minutes.

However, there is a silver lining to this new schedule. I don’t leave for work till 8.45 am, and I get a delicious slice of ‘me time’; a whole two hours to myself in a quiet, empty apartment.

Every fashionista who is serious about keeping ahead in the fashion game will have heard of the online boutique Moda Operandi.

What makes Moda Operandi so special? It is the only place you can preorder collections straight from the runway, months before it is seen anywhere else.

This month, emoticons escape from the phone and enter the closet.

I am so in love with these Emoticon Shoes, I want a pair of each!
