If you’re anything like I was before I popped my festival cherry, you’ll be ready for the magic, adventure, tunes, people watching, sunburnt shoulders and grubby feet. But full of dread in anticipation of those ‘toilets’. I hold my hands up – It’s the only area of my life where I am a complete princess. I have to have loo roll, and I don’t like it when bogs smell. That’s why I’ve made dealing with that part of the festival my number one point – followed by Rolla HQ’s top tips for making the most out of your festival experience…
Not since the ice cream incident of ’08, when the Rollasole office freezer broke down and the stash of Ben and Jerry’s had to be eaten immediately has there been this much excitement. The hot weather has arrived. Yes, summer is here. Not the crappy rainy drizzle that constituted our summer last year but real hot sun. In the space of two weeks us Rollasoldiers have gone from wearing thermals and drinking tea all day in the office to shorts, flip-flops and consuming our bodyweight in Soleros. Cue the Monday after a long hot weekend and several members of staff are sporting painful burns, including someone who shall remain nameless but fell asleep in the sun on one side. They are sporting a rather fetching Two-Face-esque look right now, which the pancake make-up isn’t disguising. Snigger. Read the rest of this entry »
We live in a world where every inch counts. Whether in the boardroom (I said boardroom not bedroom) or boogying the night away in your favourite club, a good pair of heels not only provides an extra few inches in height but also boosts self-esteem and confidence. I like being able to look my adversary/ boss/potential Mr Snook (applications on a postcard please) in the eye when we’re talking; there’s a distinct disadvantage to arguing about budgets/washing-up when you’re eye-to-chest with someone. Having to crane your neck up to make your point is a little unflattering especially when the person looks across the top of your head to discuss their point with an equally tall person. We know high heels elongate our legs and push out our bits in the right direction, but above all it means we can communicate as equals. While looking damn fine. Read the rest of this entry »
The original High Heel was allegedly invented by Catherine de’ Medici in 1533 on the day of her marriage to Henry II the future King of France. Catherine was a bit of a munter and knew old Henry’s mistresses were taller and more glamorous than her and the high heel was her ingenious solution to helping her stand out on her big day. Fast forward almost 500 years and high heels are more popular than ever, fiercely debated by scholars and doctors regarding their physical and cultural effects. So, what’s all the fuss about and why do women wear them?
Last Thursday we were very excited to be invited their 2010 Cosmopolitan Fashion Awards. So me, Asa and our new PR gal Claire ‘The Snook’ Snooks made our way to the big city of London. As it’s our first proper ‘fashion event’ The dress requirement of ‘smart/casual’ set the office into a spin, as we were hoping to wear our Dumb & Dumber fluorescent tuxedos.
Hello Rollafans! Well, well, well. What an inconsciently long time it’s been since I last put fingers to keyboard and blogged to you all. I suppose I should therefore apologise for the length of time it has taken me to come up with a new blog topic…I won’t though as I doubt many of you care all that much and those that do need to have a long hard look at themselves!
Despite all the goings on at Rollasole Towers much of the news we have for you is top secret. It’s like James Bond’s undercrackers drawer here at the moment but rest assured we will have plenty of beans to spill for you soon so keep checking our Facebook, Twitter, Bebo, MySpace and YouTube pages for more info… Anyway, I digress…the topic for this blog post is, as those more observant folks will have noticed is ‘A Day in the Life’. Basically a day in the life of me…a Rollasoldier. Exciting or what?!
So, what have you lot been up to? Aaaah yes, very good. Us? Oh you know, making shoes, selling shoes, eating flumps (remember them!?). Oh and going to the GOLDEN GLOBES! Yes, that’s right Rollasole and our trendy little pumps were at the 67th Annual Golden Globes in the City of Angels!
