Strangely enough while I really enjoy wearing heels to elevate my petite stature, Spring and Summer tend to lead me to flats, or almost flats, that can serve to create wonderful proportions with midi or maxi length dresses, or cropped pants.
To earn a place in my wardrobe, shoes must be stylish, comfortable and they need to work with much of my wardrobe. I have only two pairs of shoes that don't meet that criteria but they are 'going out' shoes, or 'special occasion' shoes that generally get worn for only a few hours at a time.
This season Australian brand Homyped have created a beautiful range for Spring/Summer. The wide range of styles and colours means there is something for everyone. The range includes ballet flats, sporty sneaker hybrids, sandals, thongs (flip flops), Mary Janes and pumps!
Ashley (in black) has just landed in my own wardrobe. She might just be the most comfortable sandal I own! Ashley is simple, modern and I expect she will become a Spring/Summer workhorse for me. This sandal will transition from work (smart casual work environment for me) to play, with ease, and will work with most of my neutral wardrobe.
As a working mum, I am on my feet most of the day running here, there and everywhere! I don't have time for uncomfortable shoes and I won't sacrifice style for comfort. I decided some years back that 'comfort' was not the dirty word I thought it was in my 20's lol !!
Size wise I found these to be quite generous. I usually wear a size 6 but sized down to a 5 for a perfect fit

Homyped are a long standing Aussie company that have been making quality footwear for 48 years ... and are based in my beautiful home town of Melbourne. Their online store is easy to navigate and all the info you need is there, along with a great size chart you can print to assure you order your correct size.
So... I'm predicting Ashley and I are going to have a wonderful Spring/Summer together! How about you? If you are looking to update for the season it's definitely worth checking out the current range.
Let me know what you think.
