Slides
They seem to be everywhere, no wonder! They are “shoes” (nowadays girls’ best friends) and they are also comfortable!!!! These are the divine pair I wish I could find at a reasonable price:
The Oran from HERMÉS
And actually, I have found something similar I really like:
Cole Haan Mesi Leather Sandal Slide, White
Anyway, going back to why you should have a pair of slides…. Let’s be realistic, summer is about swollen feet, most of the time, so, what is better than a pair of open flats? Now, it doesn’t mean, in my view, one can walk around in those horrible “swimming” slides, which too seem to be fashionable now… they are really awful and are best kept to the swimming-pool area, if that! The slides I am talking about are a little “Grandad style”, at least my favourites are, but certainly more feminine and, some of them, can be elegant too. By the way, nothing against the Birkenstock slides, I have worn them myself, I do think though they are ok only in particularly casual situations and, I suppose because I have already had them, I am a bit “over” them…
Here are some more styles:
While I was looking through the different sites, I saw a pair for over 1,200 dollars!!!!! Can you believe it?! Really, how can they cost so much?!? Even if I could, I would like to think I would never spend so much, it just seems wrong to squander that kind of money on such a small amount of leather!!

Trends
Naturally, when I was younger I would embrace new trends and wear them head to toe! Now I don’t. Not only because I am not that young anymore but also because A. I have hopefully more taste than I did when I was 20 B. I have already “done” certain trends, sometimes more than once C. I feel secure enough to refuse wearing the ones I don’t like.
That off my chest, what I want to say is this:
Every season there are new trends. If you want to look up to date, without going for the “full look”, while updating your wardrobe as well as your image with not great expense, YOU JUST NEED TO GO FOR THE SMALL DETAILS.
The thing is, what you want to do with these trends is to use them in little doses, this is 2015, so you are supposed to wear the clothes that are fashionable now with just a hint of the trend from the past.
E.G. the 70’s look. Why not just fall back on to the make up?
Back than it was all about big colourful eyes…
I would generally give a miss to big hair, unless it looks like this:
Not sure about anything else from that era…
