5 shoes to help you transition from spring to summer


The last couple of weeks have got me feeling well and truly excited about the summer, and its at this time of year that the question 'right what shoes should I wear with this?' pops up even more so. Now assuming your wardrobe is slightly lighter now with your roll necks neatly tucked into the back of your wardrobe what you're wearing doesn't necessarily match the shoes - there is no way boots are going to cut it with this new spring outfit or weather I hear you say - so to help you out with this small and easily rectifiable situation I have brought together a selection of footwear that will help you easily transition from spring to summer so you are feeling perfectly fitted out for when we have those slightly cooler days that aren't quite spring or summer. The best thing to come out of this particular cycle of fashion is the humble slider/slider mule. Now they may  take a little time to get used to but I'm sure you're going to love them. They're totally perfect as transition pieces as they don't totally cover up your foot and leave your ankles and heels revealed - basically the happy medium between being cold and warm or in-between spring and summer, they aren't quite summer sandals or spring ballet pumps! AWESOME! So here it is my must have slider collection for transitioning into spring and summer.

Shoemaker George Esquivel X Jonathan Cohen's 
Fall 17 Collection




Shoemaker George Esquivel and Jonathan Cohen have teamed up to bring a new women's footwear collection featuring boots and sandals all handmade in Orange County California. The fall '17 collection is inspired by Cohens fascination with the 2016 documentary '"Look at the Pictures" which looked at the life and work of artist Robert Mapplethorpe and the collection has an emphasis on beautiful brocade fabrics which are featured on a pair of knee high lace up boots and smoking slippers. The shoes retail between  $795 - $2,995 and will be sold at A'maree Newport Beach California. Im looking forward to seeing this brand grow and branch out into new stockist so us Brits can have a pair!




Square Toe Shoes



So the square toe front is definitely having its moment in fashion. I adore them and can't get enough of them and since they have graced the catwalks for last season its only fair that I share some of my favourite styles. So without further ado - the best (I think) square toe front shoes about.

Mercedes Castillo




New luxury shoe brand Mercedes Castillo debuted its first collection for spring 2017 and from the get go has done exceedingly well. Seen on Zoe Saldana recently at Victoria Beckhams garden party for her collaboration with Target. The brand will be rolling out in all major department stores in the US this spring/summer and the designs are just to die for. I have always been a fan of structured, and textured footwear which probably come from my days studying architecture. I particularly love the colour-ways used in this first collection, and shockingly i'm actually drawn more to the flat slider sandals and tie up sandals over the heels - although the heels are just as much to die for! - i've been a flat shoe kind of phase the last few weeks so that may be the reason. Anywho - go on have a scroll through some of my faves and definitely head on to the site!

P.s she doesn't only design footwear - she designs bags and jewellery too.

Lane Marinho





As a shoemaker seeing other shoemakers work is both inspiring and motivating. Lane Marinho does just that, her brand has grown from strength to strength and the footwear she makes are just beautiful - its no wonder she has done so well. Working from her own studio she has stayed grounded and to her roots with handmade footwear and her new venture in accessories. I absolutely love the raw and authentic style of her accessories that totally show off her Brasilian background (one of my favourite places in the world) Im totally obsessed - her Instagram is totally to die for, the photography perfectly represents the artisan and its ties to the handmade industry so be sure to to have a scroll through its perfect for those lazy Sundays!
