Dopamine Dressing
The latest fashion catch phrase I’ve heard about is “Dopamine Dressing.” It’s all about feel good, mood lifting fashion that is bright, happy, fun and even frothy. This can be in clothing, footwear and accessories. There’s no better time than summer to embrace this look and I certainly believe a lot of my sandal designs are a great example of dopamine dressing. I have designs in bright happy red, yellow and even Granny Smith green. Check them out above and below but if you prefer your clothing to be the dopamine part of your look then I also have several...
Omeo Wreck, Coogee in Perth, Western Australia
Photo @shotz_by_paul The best snorkel Sunday I’ve had for a very long time. What a great initiative by the City of Cockburn to create a fantastic, historical snorkel trail just off the shore of Coogee beach. The white sandy beach of Coogee is certainly one of Perth’s best and the addition of the maritime trail makes it even better. Photo @kylebromley_photography The Omeo is Perth’s premier shore-based shipwreck, lying just under water and only 25 metres from the shore of Coogee Beach. It came adrift from Fremantle port way back in 1905 and got stuck in the sand at...
My Summer Dress Finds – January 2022
Being a Summer lover and a sandal maker, I’m always on the lookout for summer dresses. In fact, I’m very much a ‘dress girl’ and I grew up with my Mum making beautiful dresses for me. I would go to bed listening to the hum of my Mum’s sewing machine and when I’d wake up in the morning there’d be a new dress hanging on my door knob. These days my Mum refuses to make dresses for me. She thinks I’m too extravagant and she thinks I have too many dresses. Anyhow, I need new dresses all the time to...
Valentines Galentines Day Red Gift Idea
Whether you want to spoil yourself or a loved one on Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day this year, I suggest a pair of our red sandals is probably one of the most unique “red” gifts you’ll ever give or receive. I have two different red options for you. First of all, if you prefer plain sandals then I suggest my Lisa design. They’re in a flat leather sole with a beautiful shade of red on top in stunning suede with gold hardware. If you want some bling or something a bit more extravagant then I suggest my Amanda design. They’re...
Seal Island Kayak Adventure, Perth
You might be surprised that although I’m a Sandal Maker I actually love being active and outdoorsy. And so, because our WA border is still closed, I made a bucket list of things to do for the month of January. At the top of my list was a kayak day trip to Seal Island. With my Google search I found two operators offering day trips by kayak to Seal Island and Penguin Island. I booked with Capricorn Sea Kayaking. They describe their one-day trip as a sea kayak eco adventure tour and that it certainly was. I felt like I...
Black Friday Sandal Sale
Being a small business that handmakes limited edition luxury Sandals, it’s quite rare that I run any sort of sale. However, this year as a special thank you to my loyal customers I’m offering a two-day Black Friday sale on my red, yellow and green designs. These were the hottest colours in Europe this Summer. So be quick, I have very limited batches of each design and the sale will end at midnight on Saturday 27 November. Lots of love, Cheryl xx
