Spring Sandal Fling
What a long Winter it was. I’m so glad that we’re over the Winter hump and that Spring is finally here. Now that it’s Spring, it means we can get off the couch, get outdoors more and socialise more. In Spring I love to bike ride, take long walks on the beach and fill my house with beautiful Spring flowers. It even means I can start wearing floaty, light dresses and of course my newest Sandal designs.

Fleur Sandals
I love releasing new sandal designs and I’m thrilled to announce that my newest design is called Fleur. The Fleur are in white leather with Swarovski crystals in 5 different pastel colours and the hardware is in gold.

Check out my photos below and if you want to order be quick because I’m confident they will sell-out quickly. Love, Cheryl xx...
Top 5 Things to Do in Ibiza
Ibiza is a Spanish Island in the Mediterranean Sea. It’s 150 kilometres from Valencia and you can fly there directly from Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona, as well as many other cities within Europe.

In addition to the party and nightclub vibe it also has many small, quiet villages, yoga and health retreats and lots of beaches. First of all, before I list the things to do in Ibiza, I recommend you hire a car or motorbike...
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...
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...
