French Connection Juana T-bar sandals

french_connection_juana_sandals.jpg

It's not often you come across shoes by French Connection which will get you change from your £20 note, and it's even more rare to to find ones which are actually rather nice. So when I found exactly that today, I absolutely *had* to tell you about it.

These Juana T-bar sandals are trendy and classic at the same time - the T-bar shape and stiletto heel bringing the classic, and the gold studs and patent leather bringing the trendy. They're a steal at just £19 - no, this isn't a joke - at Kurt Geiger.

They're baa-aaack...Topshop re-issue Tribal voodoo sandals

TopshopTribalVoodoo2.jpgA country of girls squealed with happiness when we heard the news that Topshop had copied the Louis Vuitton 'Spicy' sandals, meaning that you could get your hands on a very similar pair of the £2,040 shoes for a mere £120.

And then, as you would expect, they promptly sold out. But, because Sir Phil saw a money spinner we loved them so much, Topshop made them into flat sandals, and then remodeled them into strappy heels.

Well, now the original 'Tribal Voodoo' sandals have been re-issued, and in two new colourways! I particularly love this black and gold pair, which still retain the jungle style of the shoe, but gives it a glamourous elegance. They also come in bright orange and are £120. Get them quick before they're sold out again!

Not so casual Friday: DSquared geometric gem T-bar sandals

dsquared_t-bar_geometric_gem_sandals.jpg

All this sunshine we've been having this week has been making me long for the weekend like never before - and for a yummy cocktail to be planted firmly in my hand as I take in the views on one of London's lovely rooftop bars.

What I'll need on my feet however, is a pair of shoes that are equally glam, and will lift my spirit as equally as the glorious sunshine has. I believe these geometric gem T-bar sandals by DSquared will fit that bill extremely well. And then I can focus all my attention on deciding which cocktail I'd like to try first... Ahh decisions, decisions! They are on sale now for $831 at Zappos Couture.

Jessica Simpson wrap detail gold flat sandals

jessica_simpson_wrap_detail_sandal.jpg

While Steph and her feet were dreaming away of those Fendi platform ankle boots on the hottest day of the year so far, me and my own tootsies can't think of anything else but heatwave-busting strappy sandals! And the conclusion we (my feet and I, obvs) have come to is this: The less material, the better.

These Jessica Simpson gold sandals fulfill this wish nicely - there's not much in the way of material or straps which equals happy (and airy) feet. Yay. They are £54 from ASOS.

Raffia open toe wedges from Azzedine Alaïa

AzzedineAlaiaSandal.jpgIf someone said to me "I want you to make a shoe inspired by a tiki hut" I think this is what I'd come up with.

When that happens, I doubt I could sell it for £654 (and that's on sale too. Originally they were £1308) but Azzedine Alaïa have done so with their 'Raffia, python and shell wedge shoes'.

Not made from straw like I first suspected, the toe strap and wedge are actually woven raffia, the heel is cut out from python and the cuff is finished with tiny shells, giving it that tropical theme. If you want to get these they're £654 (as I said before) from Farfetch.

Mogil 'Color block' elastic shoes

PixieMarketShoes.jpgIf you want something a bit different from all the gladiator sandals that the market is saturated with, then you might like these strappy 80's style sandals from Mogil.

Tan leather and bright orange with a small heel, these would make a great summer shoe. Get them for $175 at Pixie Market.

Diego Dolcini Swarovski crystal flat sandals

Diego_Dolcini_swarovski_flat_sandal.jpg

In my seemingly never-ending quest for the perfect summer sandals, I have managed to uncover a gem (ha!) in these Diego Dolcini Swarovski crystal flats. They're sparkly without being at all garish, and with my Ibiza holiday looming, they're the perfect sandals for teaming with a pretty maxi dress and soaking up the sunset at Cafe Del Mar.

With a leather upper and an ankle strap with side buckle, they are not only pretty but practical too. If you're as much of a fan as me, you'll be pleased to know they have 50% off right now and are down to £304 at Farfetch.
