Style guru: Orsolya Szabo

Orsolya Szabo is a lover, not a hater 
Orsolya Szabo7 February 2014

I need something that will wow on Valentine’s Day. Help!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a lover not a hater. I heart a romantic gesture, and any small tokens of anyone’s hidden affection are always welcome... but I’m not convinced by this ‘one day a year’ thing. Currently I have no political sway (you’ll be surprised to hear), but I would encourage more love to be shown on a regular basis. But if you insist on an awkward V-Day date, impress your paramour with footwear. There’s not an outfit that isn’t improved with a pair of heels and you can still walk in these (I promise).

Orsolya loves

Karen Walker sunglasses

Three things I love: the Ethical Fashion Initiative set up by Simone Cipriani, the United Nations (honest!) and Karen Walker and her incredible sunglasses. When these three coalesce in the Visible collection — sunglasses manufactured in Waithaka, Kenya — the world never looked so good.

From £165 (karenwalker.com)
