This Spring/Summer Milly J and the fabulous people who won at the EDP Awards are featured in the Marry in Norfolk Magazine. It truly was a wonderful night. With Milly J Shoes and Bridal Shoes By Milly J winning the overall award for Wedding Innovation!

As part of my commitment to society and the community , I am often asked to attend talks, seminars, schools and institutions to share my story. A surviving against the odds story that encourages the community and especially the youth to find other routes within their lives through the power of creativity, the arts, entrepreneurship and STEM.

So it was a true honour to have been chosen by North Walsham High School to be a part of their mentoring scheme several months ago with a minimum two year commitment. As an ongoing commitment, I have of course many things in store for my very inspirational students.

I was thrilled to have been contacted by the National Centre for Craft and Design's, Learning and Engagement department to be chosen as two of their students' Inspirational Artist for their Arts Award application.

The NCCD has a fantastic programme for the youth to inspire them to get more creative and ambitious as young artists.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of my Milly J Shos exhibition after being Approached by North Norfolk's District Council, the award winning, Norfolk Information Centre.

The reception has been very well received and you can view my shoes and a series of Milly J shoe accessories later this week!

A successful and vibrant day was had at the St Benedicts, Lanes street fair. We were visited by many a character, including the wonderful, Red Hat Society Ladies who are big fans of the Milly J designs.

Many a local business part of the Lanes Society were in full swing during the weekend event. From artisans to wonderful food stalls.

We are proud to announce that we are now members of the Norwich Lanes Association. NORWICH LANES is an area of great historical interest which sits adjacent to the main city centre. The mainly pedestrianised lanes and alleyways are home to some of the most creative independent retailers, eateries and public houses anywhere in the UK.

It was indeed nice to receive this article in KL Magazine. Circulting around the Noprfolk and Suffolk areas, this glossy magazine is a must have for the fashion and lifestyle conscious.

The beautiful setting of Sprowston Manor was the arena for the next wedding show.

Milly J is excited to have met a fellow creative who also likes to gently push boundaries within fashion. Taking her gently under her wing, Milly has collaborated with Hattie and Millie, the Milliner to create sets for clients. The perfect name for a ollaboarion with us, with Milly spelt differently. Offering Kirsty of Hattie and Millie a space within our shop to house some of her beautiful head pieces.

So ladies, if you're seeking the perfect shoe and hat combination, look no further! You can order by visiting my shop.

Milly J Shoes was surprised to be told that there was a little write up in the Resident magazine, Norwich when a couple of shoppers walked into her shop the other day.

If you happen to spot my shoes in a magazine, do let me know, as quite often we are not told and it's always nice to hear we are makling the rounds!
