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. I currently have eleven designs for you to choose from and they’re all on the website for you to shop now. Happy...
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. I can make the Fleur in either flats or with a cute little 2cm heel for that little bit of a lift. The Fleur goes with most summer colours and in particular pastel colours. 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...
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...
Calzolaio (Sandal Maker)
Creatore di sandali is Italian for Sandal Maker. The word Calzolaio is also often used. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever know I would end up being a Sandal Designer and Sandal Maker. I call it my mid-life creative detour or my mid-life career detour. It all happened by a chance encounter after studying and holidaying in Italy. But to make it happen I had to take the risk by jumping on a plane alone, working for no pay in Italy and then investing in my own start-up business. So, for anyone who has a dream, I hope...
Yellow Must-Have Sandals
Do you really need a pair of yellow sandals? Well, I know there’s a big difference between need and want but I’m a sandal designer, so of course I’m going to say yes because I do have a yellow design in my range currently. When something is trending and we see it often enough then eventually we want it too. Yellow sandals and bags were certainly popular this past Summer in Europe and so of course they’re going to be popular this Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. My yellow design is called Lisa and it’s in luscious bright yellow suede...
