PROVENSEN AW12 NOW IN STORE

They've finally arrived! The AW12 season from Provensen. Not only are these shoes stylish, unique and of stunning quality, they also go up to a size 13! Since the very first moment we spoke with the lovely Faye from Provensen about her designs, she has always said the same thing - she wants every girl to be able to wear her shoes, no matter what size their feet.


All Provensen styles are created for everyday wear. These beautiful creatures aren't meant to hide in your wardrobe until a special occasion, they're made to worn and take on the battles of life.

We really hope that you can fall in love with a pair of Provensens and prove that women with larger shoe sizes will support the local designers that are taking a risk with larger sizes! It's these small actions that are going to help us here at Uncommon Ground to convince more brands to increase their size range, and in turn open up a whole new world of shoes for you!

SYDNEY CITY TALKS

Last night was jam packed with excitement and inspiration. We attended one of the quarterly Sydney City Talks that was being held at the State Theater, the topic up for discussion was Smart Sydney: How do we create an environment for inspiration and innovation?

As we sat there listening to Sydney's Lord Mayor, Clover Moore, read out her opening speech we're were pretty amazed to hear Uncommon Ground mentioned alongside some really innovative start-ups. Although we know we still have a lot to learn and a long way to grow, it's moment like that empower you to push the negatives out and embrace the positives.

If you would like to listen to the speeches that were given by Lord Mayor, Clover Moore or the keynote speaker for the evening, Curator of TED Conferences, Chris Anderson, you can find the podcasts here: CITY TALKS 2012. Chris Anderson speaks about how urbanization is actually to key to saving the planet and it's such a wonderfully positive piece that you can't help but feel inspired! Highly recommended.
