*Frugal Buy* Asos lace-up sandals

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
Sandals: £25, Asos. Straw hat: £12, Asos. Sunglasses: Ray-Ban at Vestiaire Collective

I know it’s still only February and it’s freezing and the last thing you want to think about right now is sandals. But when I find a decent pair at a good price, I always think it’s a good idea to snap them up. Incidentally, I have actually been summer shopping already – after our India holiday and then a work trip to the Caribbean (might even have another job in barbados coming up, please don’t unfollow me!). 

Obviously, I sing the praises of Ancient Greek Sandals, if you have the budget then they are a great investment – I bought the Fteroti in black last Christmas and wore them all summer. But I can’t afford (or justify) another pair, and these tan ‘Fuerta’ sandals are super comfy and look great for the price.

Sandals: £25, Asos. Straw hat: £12, Asos. Shorts: Wrap London (shorts coming soon)
In other early spring Summer news, I’ve got my eye on these from J Crew, pricey but total outfit makers:

Leather sandals, £118, J Crew

And these beach bags from Innika Choo, more is definitely more this season (but I can’t vouch for customs costs, sadly):

I’m such a summer girl and I must admit, I’m over the cold. Bring on pom poms, lace up blouses, bare legs and pedicures.

      Hi Rachael, yes I do! I generally always pack monochrome, denim and coloured/leopard accessories -that way everything matches – especially good for a minibreak! x

    Oh those are pretty – if only I could guarantee a sunny day in Wales when I could wear them
