White is alright

It wasn't that long ago when white shoes had the reputation of a one pence piece: low value, dirties quickly and is considered highly un-chic to carry on one's person. The only time you would be seen dead in white heels would be for fancy dress purposes, or risk ending up on the worst dressed lists of Heat magazine.

But, as is often the case with certain fashions, the white shoe is making a comeback, and all thanks to the blogosphere.

The new generation of trend-setters have gone viral, and it is now easier than ever before to see what people are wearing on the other side of the world, therefore mixing your style and finding inspiration from all corners of the globe. It doesn't matter if you live in Stafford or Sussex- you CAN dress like a Californian, if you choose. Such bloggers have given me a new found faith in the white shoe and, often spotted in them during summer months, street chic and fashion week, are able to carry off this previously dirtied trend with aplomb.

So, if I want to feel like I am on a sunny coast somewhere, or even just wanting to hold on to the British summer that little bit longer come August, I will be dressing my feet in these beauties from Zara: simple, to the point, and highly desirable. Plus, they will set off my summer tan spectacularly.

Meet you at the checkout.
