la petite dress: Trend Tuesday

For this Trend Tuesday I am actually in Capri, Italy and drawing inspiration from the amazing footwear that they have here. Capri is one of the ultimate summer holiday destinations. And it’s not hard to know why, bright blue water, sunny days, fresh Italian seafood, and winding roads that take you to another place, another time. On almost every shopping street you will find a shoe store, most are offering leather sandals, or jeweled sandals, and also espadrilles, some will let you design the sandals yourself, picking the colour of the leather and the design and then a cobbler will make them right in front of you. There are also loafers for men and women. Although the majority of people on the island are on holiday there is a definite style to the island, especially in the evening, during the day you mostly see women in swimsuits with a coverup, but at night that’s when it all comes out. Women are dressed to impress, and it’s flashy, and they are not afraid to show off their assets, it’s not classy and it’s not trashy, it’s somewhere in the middle. So I think that’s why the jeweled sandals do so well here, they’re flashy, it adds a little bit of something to your beach outfit during the day. And you're after a more casual look for the beach the espadrilles are perfect.

These are my favourite Capri inspired summer shoes outside of Capri. Pick your favourite and La dolce vita! Live the good life!
