Block heel sandals … what gives?

You know that point after spring break where you’re heading home from some glam, sun-kissed destination; you’ve been wearing flip flops for two weeks solid and now it’s time to jam your tootsies back into office/school appropriate wear… well, thanks to the block heel sandals which  are around right now, you’ve got the perfect segue from dreamy hols back to real-world life in one hit.

The great thing about a block heel is that it’s damn easy to walk in, as well as being bang on trend and a great summer shoe to boot…pardon the pun. With oodles of monochrome, metallics and snake prints in store, there are plenty of style choices around.

I’m a bit of a metallic shoes fan in the summer – you know, all that white linen and taupe flying around, it’s the perfect foil for a little pop of metallic when it comes to your accessories. Pair your block heel sandals with your denim cut-offs on the way to the beach by day, then switch up your look with a pair of wide leg linen white palazzo pants and a simple white tee for cocktails and you have vacay dressing nailed.
