The little bursts of sunshine we had over weekend and during
this week has got me all excited for summer.
I’m looking forward to lots this summer from the summer lit nights with BBQ in the smoke air. To all of the glorious food that seems to be on offer everywhere you go. And of course there is nothing better than winding down a hot summer’s day with a good old chilled cider.
The quicker I can move my exercise regime outside of the gym, the better. Nothing beats that feeling of catching the breeze in your clothes and hair on therapeutic bike ride throughout the country side.
One aspect of summer I love the most is the excuse that I can go and shopping for new season arrivals. I love to refresh my wardrobe with stylish and on trend picks.
Any summer wardrobe or any summer shoe collection will not be complete without a stylish pair of sandals. One sandal style that has really caught my eye and is proving to be a bit of an emerging trend this season is the footbed style sandal.
Birkenstock is a German footwear company that specialises in the style of footbed sandals. They have been manufacturing this style of shoe since 1967. The original makers of this style use a footbed sole of cork or rubber which the shape typically moulds to the foot of the wearer.
This is a great versatile shoe style that will compliment almost any look. They are a number that you can pull out season after season, they are a true timeless classic. I love this style because no matter your age you can look super cool in a pair of slip on sandals.
Footed style sandals are extremely comfy which lends to a wide foot design. This season if any is the time to invest in a sandal that you can wear for almost any occasion. This season has been rife with footbed sandals of all styles and colours from your fashion forward style aesthetic with ankle strap fastenings to rubber takes that are perfect for the beach and poolside.
