These are essentially simple Miss Selfridge thong sandals, but they're just a little cool and funky thanks to the red snake print and knotted detail. They're perfect if you're like me and have a relative simple but chic wardrobe and modernize your look with accessories. These shoes for just £18 are perfect - wear them for a season or two and throw them out.

I can't help thinking of cheap tequila sunrise when I look at these gradient shoes in tartrazine orange orange and gold by Aldo.
Is that a bad quality in a shoe you'll most probably wear on the beach and forget about come Autumn? Not necessarily. The two-tone vibe is alive and kicking this summer, and who said a couple of cocktails ever did any harm? Just...don't over do it.
Floseif (top) and Letangsale are £30 and £29 respectively at Aldo
Tory Burch shoes for £30? It can't be true! Well, it can if the shoes in questions are flip flops.... These 'Love Bird' thongs are currently available for £30 from Net-a-Porter, and come with the Tory Burch logo on the thong, plus a decorated insole featuring love hearts, doves and the words "Love Bird".
They'll certainly look pretty lying by the poolside, but do you buy designer flip flops, or do you prefer to just go for the bargain basement variety?

Good news for Poetic Licence fans: the brand has just launched their own online store, and I didn't have to look at it for very long to find something I wanted to buy. These 'Pandora' sandals instantly jumped out at me, not just because I'm in a holiday mood, but because of those two big gemstones on the front of them. These are the glamorous way to wear flip flops, and although the £57 price tag is more than I'd usually pay for this style of shoe, I can certainly see why they're on the expensive side.

£45 for a pair of flip flops may initially seem a little steep, but thinking about it, just how useful is a pair of cool, functional thong shoes that will see you through the summer without wrecking your feet?
These attractive, foot-adjusting flip flops are new from eco-friendly clothing brand Patagonia and being extremely lightweight, they'll be your best friend when you pack for your hols. Made from cork and recycled rubber, the hippy in you will love them too.
I know that Phillip Lim is partnering up with Birkenstock for a collection of shoes, but I am rather disappointed that the sandals (especially these Athena flats) reflect the chic style of the clothing line. That thought aside, the leopard print ponyskin flat would certainly help you stand out this summer thanks to the bold print. Though I think its kind of strange that there are more straps across the ankle than the foot... they will also set you back a pretty penny from Net-A-Porter.
I don't know about you, but I'm just not sure I could bring myself to spend $195 on a pair of rubber flip flops, no matter how cute they were, or what designer logo they had stamped on the heel. These ones are Yves St Laurent's 'Biarritz' heart thongs (they're out of stock at the moment, but can usually be found at Saks), and while the love heart toe post and tie ankle strap certainly sets them apart from the usual cheap flip flops we all tend to buy to get us through the summer, they're still ultimately a pair of rubber sandals. Would you pay $195 for them? Come to think of it, would you wear them at all?
