Summer may not be with us here in Normandie just yet, but I am sure it is making its presence felt elsewhere.
Summer is a great opportunity for you to allow your feet some "them time" after a long winter in boots and shoes. So, here is my pick of this season's summer sandals.

1: Soludos Wedge Lace-Up Espadrille Sandal
Based in New York City, Soludos' thoughtfully crafted shoes allow you to step through the world with style and ease. These wedge sandals are a perfect companion to summer styles when you need some height - do be careful about the lace-up cutting the ankle and shortening your legs. In Black, Soft Pink, Blush Linen and Midnight Blue there is plenty of choice to match your outfits and accessories.
With a dress, straw bag and straw hat, these Espadrilles really will get you stepping out in style this summer.​

2. Michael Kors - Ava Strappy Sandal
Oh My Gosh - you can see why Michael Kors is an award winning designer with these beauties. Elegance at summer soirées is assured with these perfectly proportioned strappy sandals. Paired with a white linen trouser suit as part of a monochrome ensemble I could see you raising temperatures even higher this summer. A leather upper will keep your feet secure. They also come in a light blush and the superbly summery named Sand Glitter.
A plain nail varnish would show off your feet to perfection.

3. Sam Edelman Bay Genuine Calf Hair Cutout Slide Sandal
Sam Edelman's love of travel is evident in his take on the classic slide sandal. They will easily pack into suitcases or travel bags for days, weekends or longer holidays away in the sun. Looking stylish on the sand has never been easier with these sandals. A genuine calf hair upper will keep your feet cool and comfortable. Kick them off and you're ready to paddle or plunge. 

4. Sam Edelman Granada Slide Sandal
You don't have to go all the way to Granada to get some Summer Spanish style in your closet this summer. Sam Edelman has done it again with this slider with a leather upper in Dark Bourbon. There are 8 colours to choose from so you can guarantee a match to any outfit - look beautiful on the beach or perfect by the pool with an easy pack, easy wear classic slider.

5. Naturalizer Ashford Slide Sandal
Anyone who watches my Youtube Channel will have seen my wonderful silver loafers. Well, as soon as I saw these silver sliders from Naturalizer I had to include them in my pick. Known for "the shoe with the beautiful fit," Naturalizer understands that comfortable shoes can help women move through their days energetically and live life to its fullest. They also offer hard-to-find sizes and widths to achieve a perfect fit; so, everyone can have a stylish slider this summer. It won't be just the sun, sea and sand that sparkles this summer with these puppies.

6. Gucci Baby Horsebit Slide Sandal
Gucci is one of the world's leading luxury fashion brands, with a renowned reputation for creativity, innovation and Italian craftsmanship. They certainly show their pedigree and your pedicure in these elegantly crafted quality sliders. All leather, made in Italy - what's not to love? Sun, sea, sand and Gucci Sliders anyone?
They come in Nero Black, Beige Burro or a shocking Pink Tropical Flower - you'll be guaranteed to be seen in those! 

7. Sam Edelman ​Ariane Platform Slide Sandal
Perfect for the poolside or seaside these platform slide sandals by Sam Edelman are great for keeping your feet dry around the pool with good grip soles to make sure you keep your footing.
In Ivory, Black or Pale Pink you get a range of options to suit your travel outfit needs.

So there you have it, 7 lovely Sandal Selections for all beachside budgets that any French woman would love to have on her feet this summer.
With your feet on full display do make sure you are Pedicure Perfect. No cracked heels, keep those toe nails trimmed and your feet well moisturised. No hobbit feet on holiday merci!

After my recent video in which I styled my new Tory Burch loafers with jeans I had a large number of requests to style them with skirts. So, in tonight's video I give you 3 very different  French Chic Outfits pairing loafers with skirts. I hope you enjoy them - follow the link here https://youtu.be/ac_xEYznwXE.
The outfits will be upload to the Atelier as quickly as I can xx

I have a new resource on my website for anyone trying to recreate any of my outfits - it is L'Atelier.
​
Part of the fun of Style is taking inspiration from an outfit you like and trying to re-create it with what you have. Sometimes you may need just that one piece to complete a look and that is where my Atelier page comes in.

An atelier is an artist's studio or workshop: a place where creation, recreation and re-creation combine to move your art forward. And Style to me is Art. So move your style journey forward with inspiration and fascination in equal measure from my French Chic Atelier.

I will be re-creating some of my most popular looks from my YouTube Channel and Instagram Account here, with links to my Obsessed With It page. So, if you want to re-create a certain look you have all the inspiration AND the resources you need.

Navigate the slideshow by either playing, stepping through with the arrows or clicking on the thumbnails. Click on an outfit main image to get to my Obsessed With It page with all the links you will need.

I hope you will get inspired by my outfits and that you will have fun re-creating them.

The current lockdown is causing people to suffer more than ever. Just as we thought things were improving, it seems to be getting worse. From just the blues, to full blown depression, people are finding it hard to get motivated. In my video tonight at 8pm Paris Time  I share with you one tip that I find really helps. Also, inspired by Sarah and Fernanda's stories recently shared on the blog and in my French Chic Community, there will be an exciting announcement in my video about my Revive! 7 Day Lockdown Challenge Masterclass join me tonight
