After years of wearing ill-fitting sandals that never lasted more than one season, I’ve come to realise that it’s well worth investing in a pair of well-made sandals that are sure to last year-after-year. I also believe that if you are spending a decent amount of money on a pair, then they should be a […]
Read MoreA few weeks ago I panicked because we were having a heat wave in the UK and I hadn’t started my summer sandals post. Well, it’s now June – and in typical English style, it’s been bucketing it down while I’ve been drafting most of this – and here I am dreaming of hot weather and […]
Read MoreIn February I was lucky enough to have a sneak peek of some of Joe Nimble’s SS17 range and couldn’t resist trying a pair of their flexToes. (You can view the full Spring / Summer catalogue online here). It’s only recently that Joe Nimble have been on my radar and I’m not quite sure how […]

Read MoreAs this post is somewhat out of season, and because I’m writing it from Mallorca, I’m labelling these as the shoes that you need for your escape to some winter sun… (Unless you’re one of the lucky ones based in the Southern Hemisphere at this time of year).

Read MoreApparently ballet pumps are back this Autumn (although I’m not sure they ever REALLY went away). And this time they’re anything but plain – I’ve seen pom pom, glitter and velvet adorned pairs on the high street – so I was intrigued to see what barefoot versions there are on offer.
