Pretty in Pink!
If there is a colour that will always be loved and ‘on trend’ it’s definitely pink. It can be in a shade that is soft and feminine or it can be super bright and loud, as well as any shade in between. Here are some of my favourite pink looks. I also did a count, and of our 20 Swarovski crystal sandal designs, six of them have a touch of pink. Pink lovers can rejoice! Cheryl xx

What to Wear to The Tennis?
The Australian Open Tennis kicked off yesterday and will run for the next 12 days in Melbourne. I have put together the ultimate style guide of what to wear court-side. Staying comfortable and chic but remaining casually stylish and sun smart should be your main priority.

Some say it is the most isolated capital city in the world and that it has the most millionaires per capita of any city in the world. Image: Ankalia Gemma Swarovski crystal sandals in tan leather.

Evening Gowns with Swarovski Crystal Sandals
Why is it that we seem to wear high heels with a full-length evening gown? Do we really have to? Why not be comfortable all night long and wear some blingy embellished Ankalia sandals? You’ll still be just as beautiful and just as glamorous but just a whole lot more comfortable. They come in flats or with a little 2cm heel if you still want a little bit of lift. Believe me, you’ll be so comfortable all night long and you’ll be able to dance the night away....

Every Girl Needs a Pair of Red Shoes!
