We have found our way into the world of pinterest, and every week we will be sharing our favourite pins with you!

We were not the only ones inspired by colour this season. Fluorescent pink was shown at Erdem, Bright Red at Jil Sander, and Electric Blue and Purple at Opening Ceremony.

You can add some of these summer bright's to your wardrobe with Esska's SS13 collection and let the colour lift your mood and outfit!

Last week Esska showed at Micam Tradeshow once again in Milan to showcase our AW13/14 collection! We had a fabulous time as always meeting new and existing clients and talking them through our collection. We loved our new look stand that was in the International designers area had a great time mingling with other footwear brands from the UK. Aside from all the hard work we also found time to enjoy the delights of Milan and had some fun (of course!).....here are some of our pics from our trip, see you next time Milan.

• Our new look stand in the international designers area. www.esska.co.uk
• We came across this amazing colourful fruit & veg stall in the heart of Milan.
• Mucche & Buoi restaurant
• We visited Mucche & Buoi on our last trip & loved it so we went back to this great steak restaurant away from the tourist part of Milan in Via Clerici. The decor is great and so is the food.
• Victoria restaurant - http://www.victoriaristorante.it/
• The Victoria restaurant is a charming place in the heart of Milan. It has a french feel and the decor has an art Noveau influence. We had a lot of fun and almost felt too full to go to the British Footwear Association party!
• And after a long day it was always nice to take advantage of the free drinks!

The lovely brand Studio 25.3 teamed up with Esska again and used our shoes in their AW shoot. Take a peek below....

We were in Paris a few weeks ago showing at the trade show ‘Premiere Classe’. Whilst having a look around we spotted some brands we loved and have highlighted some of them. We adored the paper jewellery of Sandra Di Giacinto, the gorgeous handbags of Delphine Conty, the cutest Haflinger children’s slippers, the beautiful sophisticated jewellery from Anne Thomas, and of course not to forget an updated version of Esska‘s best selling style Hanya for next winter in aubergine patent!

Yes!! we have designed our Autumn Winter 2013/14 collection, received the samples, did our photoshoot, and started selling!! I just can’t believe how fast the whole cycle is…

Our first trade show was in Paris, at the famous ‘Premiere Classe’, part of ‘Who’s next’. It was me and Noura who went to Paris. I really had to go, so I can make sure the French wine and food standards have not changed.

Here is our little journey, and the start of a fantastic selling season.

• I took the Eurostar at 6am. (and slept nearly all the way). It was snowing and snowing and snowing.
• We set up the stand, and managed to squeeze around 50 styles into a 2mx2m stand!
• The best surprise was that we had FREE coupons for the champagne bar!!!
• The proof!
• First day over, orders taken, stand packed, off to the streets of Paris...
• Our friends from Kirsten Goss proposed this French Bistrot, and yes yes yes, it was amazing.
• Of course, so very French, a bookshop right next to our restaurant.
• Oh!!! what's this picture of my kids doing here? Oh well, now that have found it among the photos, this is them having lunch at Carluccios in London while I was working (very hard) in Paris. Their dad asked them to smile for mummy!!
• Ok, Paris again. Our last night there, we went to a nice Korean Barbecue restaurant in the 2eme, called Guibine. Local, and very yummy.
• On the way back to the flat, we saw a chinese restaurant, that had an 'interesting' window display. They probably thought this is the easiest way to explain what's in the dishes!!!
• Back to London. Very pleased with the trip and the trade show. Great first reaction to the new collection. Next trip, Las Vegas!!! Stay tuned everybody.

Are you feeling a little blue after all the festivities? Here at Esska we have put together some things to do that we think are inspiring, fun and not to be missed! 

1. Watch Fuerzabruta at the Roundhouse www.roundhouse.org.uk

2. See the ‘Perfect place to grow’ exhibition at the RCA www.rca.ac.uk

3. Vistit Brixton Village for something to eat http://bmtf.org.uk/

This hedonistic Argentinian theatrical extravaganza re-opened the Roundhouse in 2006 and now it's back for a second time. 'Fuerzabruta' (it means 'brute force') is an eye-popping barrage of sights, sounds and stunts that includes scenes of a man charging through a series of moving walls and a giant fishtank stuffed with performers that descends upon the audience. Artistic director Diqui James and musical director Gaby Kerpel also created 'De La Guarda'.

Get down to the RCA & see the 'Perfect place to grow exhibition' marking it's 175th Birthday. The exhibition celebrates the college's alumi over the years and the amazing collection of work that has been produced. Artiists include Tracey Emin, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth & David Hockney.
