DAY THIRTY
DAY THIRTY: Gold leather braided sandals, Hermes
Drumroll please! Today is the final day of the fun little experiment that has been 30 days of flats so I thought it only right to go out with somewhat of a bang with these gorgeous gold Hermes sandals. These are another find from the second-hand shop in Chelsea and were again pretty much brand spanking new when I purchased them a few weeks ago. I’ve been saving them for today and it seems that the weather gods decided to play along and give me some sunshine to wear them in. As you might be able to see, they too have the espadrille-style rope base that I’ve become fond of recently and the slingback means that they don’t go flying off as I trot down the street in them.
Worn with: Black skinny jeans, Topshop; Chain print top, New Look. Not pictured: Grey leather biker jacket, Topshop; Grey leather bag, Jaeger; Grid print scarf, Deena & Ozzy
Check back later for one final very special post and some exciting 30 days shaped news… Bet that’s made you curious, hasn’t it?

DAY TWENTY FIVE
DAY TWENTY FIVE: Gold leather woven sandals, Topshop (2010)
So, I know I’m meant to be wearing existing shoes from my collection but a few weeks ago I was surfing around during my lunch break and came across these little beauties. At only 25 quid, I could hardly say no, could I? I find that sometimes with Topshop shoes (particularly their sandals) it’s advisable to go down a size, as I have with these - I ended up buying them in both a 36/3 and 37/4 but the latter ended up going back as my short stumpy toes look decidedly better in the smaller size. So far, they’ve proven to be very comfortable and their leather soles are a flexible god-send in comparison to the pair I wore yesterday. They’re still in store, so grab them while you can by clicking on the link above.
Worn with: Black strapless blouson silk playsuit, Reiss. Not pictured: Striped bikini, New Look; Floral print canvas bag, Gap.

DAY TWENTY FOUR (AGAIN)
DAY TWENTY FOUR: Pink leather ruffled sandals, Topshop (2008)
My sincerest apologies for the delay in posting but I couldn’t get onto my computer until almost 11pm last night and by that time I was so exhausted that the idea of staring at a computer and doing complicated things like thinking were most definitely out of the question. We spent most of yesterday shooting on a boat which meant that these Topshop sandals didn’t get much wear as I spent a vast majority of the time running around barefoot which was probably only a good thing. As much as I love these sandals and their great summer colour, the wooden soles mean that as far as comfort factors go they’re pretty low but fashion is pain so I still wear them.
Worn with: Black and cream stripe strapless playsuit, Topshop; Studded belt, Gap. Not pictured: Floral canvas tote, Gap; Striped bikini, New Look.

DAY SIX
DAY SIX: Silver leather sandals, Topshop (2009)
I have a feeling that weekends, particularly Saturdays, may throw up something of a conundrum in the flat shoe stakes. Today, I’m heading to a barbeque during the day and then a party in the evening, so I need a pair of shoes that will carry me through both events without ripping open my feet. These sandals from Topshop should do the trick - they’ll keep my feet cool as I loll in the park and then later this evening, I’ll pair them with black trousers and a smarter top for the party or maybe even a dress, depending on how warm it stays.
Worn with (day): Dark denim shorts with studded waistband, Zara; Striped vest, Topshop; Grey bandaeu top, American Apparel. Not pictured: Grey and navy striped jumper, Boden; Red leopard print scarf, Marks & Spencer; Brown leather saddle bag, Prada
I’ll update later with ‘Worn with’ for the evening. Enjoy the sunshine, everyone!
UPDATE: Worn with (night): black leather leggings, H&M; White racer-back vest, H&M; Grey blazer, Topshop; Red leopard scarf, Marks & Spencer; Black safety pin clutch, Bodhi
