For those fashion mavens who pride themselves on being in-the-know when it comes to the new ‘it’ designer, may we introduce you to (drumroll please), Sophia Webster. Webster launched her eponymous footwear collection a few short seasons ago.  Her passion for prints, mixing, matching, and artfully mismatching can make a girl weak in the knees.  She has an astute attention […]
