Shoes: Perfect Colour Pop Sandals

Hi guys,
As I go off on my holidays tomorrow, this months 'shoe lust' post could only be sandals! I've just packed two pairs in my suitcase, and I've got my espadrilles on my feet. But now I've spent a little time dream-shoe shopping online, I wish I'd bought and packed these gorgeous turquoise colour pop sandals from Betty London instead:

I'd never heard of Betty London before, but they could well be a new favourite! At just £34.99, they're amazing value, but you're still getting a leather shoe with a leather sole for your money. I don't wear pleather shoes anyway, but I certainly wouldn't in the summer: it doesn't have the give or the breathability of real leather, meaning you'll end up with sweaty, sore, blistered feet: not a good look!

How great would these beauties look teamed with a long white sun dress and lovely bright red toenails? I love turquoise, and I seem to buy a new piece of turquoise jewellery on every holiday I go on. These shoes would be perfect for pairing with it and showing it off to its full potential.

Have you picked your summer sandals yet? What style have you chosen?

My hot summer trends from Sarenza!

Hi guys,
I love my new role as a Sarenza brand ambassador! Who wouldn't love a job where they got to pick out new shoes every month!? And the more I experiment with the Sarenza website, the more I like it: you can sort the shoes by type, price, material, heel height, and even season. That makes it really easy to quickly and efficiently find exactly what you're looking for, instead of spending hours scrolling through pictures of shoes that aren't quite right. Have a max dress that needs a 5.5 inch heel in leather for less than £50? No worries! The Sarenza search function can find exactly what your looking for.

Anyway, enough of my geeking out about website functionality and back to shoes! This month instead of choosing one pair of shoes I decided to choose two, so that I could experiment with two of the hottest trends of the summer (I couldn't choose between them):

Colour block


I know, I know, everyone is talking about colour blocking! But this is colour blocking at a micro level: i've colour blocked my feet! I love these pink and purple Georgia Rose sandals, and to take the trend even further, I adding clashing red coloured toe nails too: my feet are crazy! I want to team this with a vibrant Tshirt dress for a look that is perfectly on trend, but also casual and cool.

Seventies nude


The seventies trend is the one i'm wearing most this summer. It's laid back and casual and easy to wear: all the things I like! I really love the look of swedish hasbeens, but having tried a pair on, I found them hellishly uncomfortable! These, however, I love! They're also from a Swedish brand (called Moheda) but they have a soft squishy insole that means walking on them feels like a dream! I can see these quickly becoming my wear every day shoes: they look great with jeans, sundresses and anything else I feel like wearing!

What do you think? Which pair do you prefer? Luckily I don't have to choose, because if I did I think i'd find it impossible!

Love, Tor xx
