Flaming Nora, I really like this pimped-up Birkenstock-style sandal from Isabel Marant. Two reasons: the first is that obviously I'm a big Birki fan and hope that they remain in Style Forever. The second is because the fancy flame detailing reminds me of watching drag car racing on telly, when I was a kid (I have two brothers). Of all the seventies influences around this season - beautiful suede, flared denim jeans, bohemian maxi dresses - customized-hot-rod-inspired comfy shoes caught my eye.
Etoile Gail Cholita leather sandals, £295, available HERE. All this talk of flames reminds me that I used to do a regular post featuring 'what's hot this week', a stylish splurge called 'Your Purse is On Fire'. Might have to reintroduce that little number.
Also available in simple white stud-u-like should you not want to Burn Baby Burn. Python effect leather sandals, £470, available HERE.
