TUNE TAPE TUESDAY IS BACK! After over a month of no-show, I'm back with all the music you've missed. That's a blockbusting THREE Tune Tapes at once. That's around 70 new tracks to get your teeth into. So with no further ado, let's get cracking.
Continuing on the theme of threes, I thought this week I'd pick out three stand-out tracks from each week of missed Tune Tapes. So, y'know, I'm giving something back. Rather than go into a long ramble about WHY they're awesome, I'm just going to list them. Because a) it's a bit pretentious, and b) it's time-consuming and I'm lazy. Besides, I'm giving you a shedload of new Tunes - ain't no normal person got time fo' dat!

Wish List Mondays #39
As Ned Stark would tell you, "Winter, is coming". And in the fashion world, that can only mean one thing: new boots. This statement is none the less true even though I work for a major shoe company. You might think that the last thing I want to write about when I get home is shoes. But you'd be so wrong. Shoes, as my accessories-obsessed Grandmother would agree, are much more than foot coverings. There's a reason women - and men, let's not be sexist - get excited by a new pair. I reckon it goes back to childhood. That visit to the shoe store, where you were faced with a wall three times the size of you, and told to pick whichever one you wanted (so long as, of course, they were practical and not too expensive). Nowadays, practicality - and in many people's case, price - is not really an issue. Which I guess technically makes the occasion of buying a new pair of shoes much more thrilling. This week, I've done your homework for you. I've sourced out a collection of boots that will *I hope* fit every 'style tribe' out there, and all weights of wallets. So without any further ado, and only a small drum-roll, here is my pick of the best boots to get you through a British winter. Roll on the mince pies and Game of Thrones box-sets.
1. The Studded Rocker Boot: 'Langdon Fizz', Clarks, £80. Tell me about it, Stud, here.
2. The Biker Boot: 'Orinoco Club', Clarks, £50. Rev your engine, here.
3. The Indie Lace-Up: Leather Boots, H&M, £60. Play the lace card, here.
4. The Dress Heel: Suede Ankle Boots by Bottega Veneta, Matches Fashion, £495. Well heeled, here.
5. The Smart Wedge: 'Lorenzo Ocean' in Black Ponyskin, Clarks, £80. Giddyup, here.
6. The 70's: Leather Knee High Boots by Chloé, Matches Fashion, £860. That 70's Show, here.
7. The Statement: Shark-Lock Leather Wedge Boots by Givenchy, Matches Fashion, £1,430. Go sharking, here.
8. The Riding Boot: 'All Out' in Black Tan Leather, Office, £110. Tally-Ho, here.
No Winter shopping spree would be complete without a coat, so here's one I'm lusting after this season:
Cream Biker-Style Coat by Red Herring, Debenhams, £80. Cat got the cream, here.

Fashion Spotlight On: Emma Cook
I have a bit of an obsessive nature. If I like a song, I'll listen to it until I'm sick of it. If I like a food, I'll eat it every day until I can't stand the taste of it. TV Shows? I'll watch all series back-to-back (I finished 5 seasons of Breaking Bad in two weeks.). Recently, I've become a bit obsessed with a fashion designer. Like, literally fallen in love with everything she does. Her name is Emma Cook, and she's bloody brilliant.
Graduating from St Martin's College of Fashion with contemporaries such as Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen (RIP), Emma is a seasoned professional. Yet, compared to her glorified peers, she's flown relatively under the radar over the last decade; the guilty pleasure of clued up members of the 'fash pack'. But she cannot be contained! In the last few seasons, online wholesalers such as Net-a-Porter, Matches, and even ASOS have picked up her collections and flogged them to a greedy consumer. And I'm happy to say I'm one of them. Her beautiful designs, featuring digital prints in the style of Mary Karantzou or Peter Pilotto, sell for a fraction of the price. They are more playful, less serious, and immensely wearable - whether you're a teenage raver, or a 35 year old CEO. Shift Dresses, T-Shirts, Skirts, Shorts and Jackets are taken to a level you will only recreate by taking LSD; kaleidoscopic prints make your eyes feel like they've been staring at an optical illusion for too long. In a good way. You can check out her newest collection here and make a mental shopping list of pieces you'll be buying when it arrives in-store in December this year. Here are my choice picks of her Resort 2014 collection:
If you can't wait that long, don't fear. I've also made a Wish List of her pieces available to buy now - get ready for handbags at dawn, ladies, 'cause these bad boys are selling fast...
