Flip Flops From Evans

I've had some terrible experience when it comes to shoes. I've had the sole of a ballet pump come away during work and I've had to try to walk around with a tiny thread keeping the shoe together, if that wasn't bad enough it was raining really heavy which didn't help my shoe trauma. My shoes just seem to die on me after a few wears I'd only had the below the pair a week when this happened!

The one type of shoe that never seems to work for me is flip flops again I've got some funny stories about flip flops gone wrong. I have had flip flops that have broken away at the toe post if this has ever happened to you then you know how hard it is to try to walk once this happens. And in my younger days when I wanted super cheap fashion I've bought really cheap flip flops that after walking for a few hours cracked on the sole and one half of the base started to come away from the other!

So I haven't always had the best of luck when it comes to footwear so when Evans offered to send me some shoes to review I thought I'd give flip flops another go.

I was sent these in a 5 eee and the sizing is spot on, there is enough room to get my feet in and not rub. I've inspected the toe post area and it's safe to say that these won't be coming away from the sole anytime soon!

These are really well made the base is nice and thick and they would be great for a holiday, for day or night wear. The flip flops have a really smooth padded base which will be good if you are waking around in the sun.

I think the flower jewel trim is a really nice touch to the flip flops and means they can easily go from a day to night outfit. The jewels are securely attached so you don't need to worry about they coming away easily and they stop before the top post so won't rub on your toes.

If I'd had these flip flops a few years ago I could have saved myself a lot of embarrassment and red cheeks as I tried to walk as normally as possible with a broken shoe! Evans have a great range of shoes at the minute so go check them out.

Leopard and Denim

I was placing an order on Simply Be a few weeks ago and had a 15% off voucher so decided to add a few things to my basket that i had been looking at and wanting to order for a while. The first is a pair of flip flops, i have been wanting a cute pair that i can wear at work but i didn't want to place an order and pay delivery just for those so i was waiting to add them onto another order.

I pretty much decided these were the flip flops for me the first time i saw them, they looked comfy and they were leopard print so do i really need to say any more!

sorry for the slight blur on the picture I'm not sure why the camera did that

These flip flops are £14 full price and available in E and EEE, i went for a size 5 in the E width and they fit well, they haven't had a proper road test yet but I'm hoping they stay comfy.

The other item i added to my order is this super cute Alice and You acid wash dress i must have looked at it everyday since it first went onto the site and i finally caved and ordered it.

I wasn't sure on the fit so i stuck with my usual size 22 which is a great fit for me, but if you are between sizes you might want to size up as there is no stretch to the material itself. The dress is quite thin so i think it will be great for summer and i can imagine me wearing it with wellies at the festivals.

This dress is quite short but still covers my bum and i don't feel like its going to ride up any minute and flash it either. There is a stretch panel around the middle to give the dress some shape and some cute little cut outs and the sides to make it a little more interesting.

I had been after a cute denim dress for some time and this one ticks all the boxes. I can see this becoming a staple of my summer wardrobe as its really easy to wear and doesn't need anything to add to it. All i need now is my sunnies and I'm ready to go!

Have you added to your wardrobe recently?
