Chic or not: The Geriatric Sandal
Style.com

Yesterday, looking through the new collections from Paris, I found this pair of 'classic' flip-flops Stella McCartney included in her SS12 collection. They instantly reminded me of the style of shoe Christopher Kane chose a couple of weeks ago to show his collection in London.
I remember people were commenting on Christopher's shoes after the show. They were slightly confused  as to the reason why they looked like orthopaedic sandals for kids. Personally, though I can't see fashionable people wearing them, I thought they were interesting in the context of the show. They had that Tavi-esque quirkiness to them that doesn't appeal to everyone but is nonetheless intriguing.
Stella McCartney's feel more traditional in comparison. Like those 60's flip-flops your dad had for years and years and your mum made him stop wearing.

What do you think?

Ever since the Olsens launched their high-fashion brand The Row I have been a huge follower. Not only because their clothes are exquisitely made but because, unlike many celebrity fashion lines, you can see their personality reflected on the clothes.

For SS12 they created this incredibly beautiful white-based collection with strong Oriental influences. It's like a sort of traveller who goes to live in Bali and combines her personal chic style with elements from the other culture.
This mini-trend, started a few months ago by Ashley herself and goes along the lines of their own new collection. It's basically a sort of beaded necklace/rosary worn across the top like the strap of a messenger bag. Ashley is such an influencer that it wasn't only on The Row catwalk that we saw this but also on Rebecca Taylor's, who showed it on several looks and in various colours.

Would you wear this trend?
