Valentine’s Day is Here!
Much like the title says, Valentine’s Day is upon us once more and for some of us it is vital that we pick and choose the correct gifts; not only for ourselves, but for our friends and family as well. No one wants to receive something like a remote control fart machine when they have no need for one, since these things need to have some serious thought put into them. So, in matters such as this, any advice is appreciated and that’s what we here at Rollasoles aim to do! Take heed in this guide to choosing a suitable Valentine’s Day gift from our select list and may your day turn out to be slightly more special than normal.
Whilst Valentine’s Day may be an important day for some (and a day of much contention for others, no doubt), it’s worthwhile to remember that it’s just one day; it’s not the be all and end all of a relationship, it’s more or less a day in which one is free to exchange gifts with a partner in order to demon....

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…
1) Toilets: When you’ve gotta go, gravitate towards the long drops (if they indeed exist at your festival)…generally there’s less of a queue and at least they’re open top so the aroma of rotting corpse blended with regurgitated cat’s arse has room to escape. If portaloos are your only option, go armed with a cheap bottle of body spray and dispatch liberally before entry. Wipes and disinfecting hand wash are essential. Don....

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.
The Snook limped in this morning with a bbq / Corona / new flip-flops related injury and has vowed never to wear such perilous footwear ever again. ‘The ironic thing is,’ she says, ‘I’d ....

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?
There is a whirlwind of debates on t’internet about the psychological effects behind wearing high heels. History suggests that essentially ladies wear them to be sexy. So even though there are a gazillion other factors that go into picking the perfect outfit, on an basic evolutionary level it’s to attract a mate, procreate, rear those children and then stick heels on them to send off to their first prom and so it goes on.

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.
As my day to day style is usually best described ‘scruff bag chic’, (dubbed from an early age as Tatty Matty) the prestige of a ‘Cosmo’ event made me a surprisingly self conscious about scrubbing up. In the end I decided on a jeans, shirt ,tie combo with a dashing men’s sleeveless cardigan (later dubbed the ‘Mandigan’) I weathered the first bout of ‘mandigan’ p*ss taking from Asa, and we made our way to Kensington Roof Top Gardens.
The Snook was stuck in heavy traffic, but in no uncertain terms told us to get in there and ‘network our asses off’. The venue was filled 98% glamorous wom....

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!
We teamed up with L’Oreal Paris to provide two of our vending machines, which we co-branded, along with a bunch of beautiful bespoke Rollasoles for the guests of the official Golden Globes after party. Check out the funky machine:
We were already really chuffed with ourselves for being asked to get involved in such a prestigious event and any opportunity to get another squiggle in my autograph book will always be jumped at but we were especially pleased with the feedback we received from the hosts of the party and more importantly the guests who used the machine and wore our Rollas.
I’m not going to lower myself to name-dropping-smugness* but so far we know that Christian Slater ....
