Reviewed – Ipanema Diamond Sandals
When I was asked to try a pair of Brazilian footwear brand Ipanema anatomic sandals, I was intrigued. As someone who spends the whole summer in sandals (usually ill-fitting ones that frankly kill my feet…) I was really interested in the idea that any pair of sandals could pass the three requirements that I have of footwear. Could Ipanema sandals be comfortable, hardwearing…and glamorous! The answer is an overwhelming YES! The pair of sandals I chose was the Diamond adjustable sandal. I chose these for a range of reasons. The first being that they were just so pretty, with glitter, metallics and diamond stubs all thrown into the mix. I…

Pick items which are all colour-coordinated, easy to wash, and can work in both formal and casual situations. Dresses are great for these situations – wear them with tights and a leather jacket when the fog rolls in, with sandals and sunnies at the beach, or with heels and a…

Make a Splash with New Season Swimwear
Classic swimwear is timeless – a black swimsuit, big sunglasses and red lipstick will never go out of style. However, this year’s new season swimwear is fun, playful and (best of all) flattering – many brands are now offering figure-control swimwear that ranges from swimming costumes with tummy-control panels to shaping bikinis with high-waisted retro bottoms. Vintage style is making waves in swimwear with 1950s and pin-up influences, and colour blocking completes its total fashion takeover with a foray into swimwear. Finally, beach cover-ups bring the sheer maxi trend from the city to the sunshine. Vintage-inspired swimwear is everywhere this year. This floral and feminine bikini can be…
