Buy it now: Nostalgic sandals
Hello sunshine! Finally, the sweaters are boots are off and my toes can bask in the warmth of summer. Can there be a better feeling? To celebrate, I’ve cracked open the Church’s Henrika sandals that have been sat in a box for 2 months. That’s the problem with buying summer things in London, you’re never quite sure you’ll get to wear them. I’m all about nostalgic flat sandals this year and the Church’s are a brilliant buy. They need zero breaking in, just throw on the J Brands boyfriend jeans, buckle up and go…
Church’s sandals £239 (approx)
Margaret Howell’s crepe-soled beach sandals are a slightly chunkier alternative. These Italian-made sandals could look good with ankle socks and a vintage Liberty-print dress if you like the wind-swept Land Girls look…

Also worth investigating are Salt-Water Originals, a classic flat sandal originally upcycled from the remnants of WW2 military boots by one Walter Hoy. The best bit about these is their waterproof sealant finish – ideal for British summers I’d say. (And at £49.50 you can’t sniff at the price either.) To offset the hippie-ish undertones, add drama with a deep-pigmented pedicure. I love classic fuchsias and reds on toes rather than weird blues, greens or purples.

Beautiful Margaret Howell beach sandals in the tan. They just have to be extremely comfortable at that price – that means a whole day of walking on old feet.

Black looks good but still out of my budget.
