PJ SANDAL!

Let's talk about the sandal that'll be everywhere this summer (and where you can get something similar) thanks to the genius inspiration that is Phillip Lim. The gladiator sandal comes and goes every year, but the closed toe is what makes these just that bit cooler; the PJ sandal is available in black and two-tone. It's definitely a shoe must-have for this season (alongside the likes of Alexander wang's cut-out sandals) and I really hope the 'PJ' reference is to being able to actually wear them with your pyjamas, because I think this relates to half my wardrobe. But if you're not quite ready to justify spending money on sandals instead of.. er, rent! Do not fear! Zara have once again found the seven changes necessary to rip off these beauties. I hate to say it, but although the real 'PJ's are far more intricate in the detailing (and the overall quality is obviously so much better) the similarities make it too good to be true at just £40. 

Alternatively, if you're thinking 'what the hell, it's March in England and my feet are freezing thanks' then these Topshop Premium boots kind of give off the Phillip Lim vibe, without the cut-out-ness.

THE BEST OF BROGUES

London Brown; shoe love.

When I went to Bangkok two years ago there was one brand that really stood out to me of all the many boutiques (and trust me, there are many), an independent shoe brand by the name of 'London Brown'. The best hand-made, made-to-order, beautifully crafted and designed, comfortable (and weatherproof!) shoes I have found yet. They design unisex shoes that embody everything that I love in androgynous-wearing-your-boyfriends-clothes-style. 

This year, we went back and the boy picked up three more pairs of beautifully made-to-order Oxford suede shoes. Fast-forward to this week, he was pottering around the house in them and I couldn't stop kicking myself for not getting a pair earlier this year. And so! I decided to order my very own pair of navy blue suede wingtip brogues with white laces. Dreamy.

I have to wait a month but know it'll be worth it! You can check out their Facebook Page here, or follow them on Instagram @londonbrownshop to see all of their designs and get more info. They have some beautiful Loafers and Oxfords i'm coveting too.

Here are the ones I ordered below! What do you think?

NEW SHOES

Yesterday, wearing my new favourite shoes; Alexander Wang beauties bought in the sale at 60% off at his store in Singapore. They are such a comfy height and are a great day to night shoe, I had to get them out yesterday when the weather was nice-ish and we were heading out for lunch! Excuse the picture quality, I had to settle for the iPhone camera after realising i'd left my SD card in my laptop; genius. 

Hope everyone is still enjoying the games as much as I am! Enjoy your day all. x

I was wearing: Cos Sweater, Zara Ripped Jeans (get similar here), Celine Sunglasses, Proenza Schouler PS1 Bag, Alexander Wang 'Nadia' Shoes

L-BD Love: Perrin

A girl can never have too many shoes, right? At least that's what I told myself in justifying my latest purchase... I've ordered these babies and am desperate for them to arrive!! After asking your opinion on them on Facebook I went with the majority vote of Nude, perfect for summer and a change from the usual black I always seem to fall back on. L-BD Love!
