Cocobelle Sock Shoe ‘Bahia’ Sandal in Purple
These unusual looking sock shoe sandal would require someone with a huge amount of confidence to wear these odd sandals. It looks like gladiator inspired footwear, but still I personally don’t find them flattering. I have wrestled to understand the reason behind these Cocobelle’s sandals with elastic sock upper, just like I’ve tried to understand the reasoning behind peep toe shoe boot as a summer footwear.
With Cocobelle sandals on your feet, you will get stared at, some may even pass a comment or two. Either way you will get people talking. These ones are from Barefoot Tess for $69. Comes in brown leather, brown, navy and black.
Dolce Vita ‘Dante’ Fringe Sandals in Citron
These fringe sandals is described as citron colour, but to me they’re lovely mellow yellow tribal sandals. They would look lovely in knee length tunic dress, floaty summer skirts or even short. Such style of shoe should not be hidden underneath a maxi dress as they’re meant to be worn for people to see and admire.
Call it part sandal, part boot, it’s a whimsical sandals made of suede with adjustable ankle tie in mahogany, black and robin colours with mini wedge heel. Ladies, I’m sold on these sandals. Are you? If yes, visit Barefoot Tess where they’re on sale for $109 and is available in US Size 6 to 13 including half sizes.
Jessica Bennett- Feather Like Ribbon Sandals with Beads ‘Kemp’
As at the time of writing, I’m still undecided as to whether I love or hate these sandals. Part of my indecision has to do with the oversize feather like ribbon with hardware beads on the toe vamp. Yes, I know I talk a lot about discovering usual and quirky shoes, but hey what can I say. If you are so much into these sort of sandals and decides to buy it, then it’s best worn with a plain outfit otherwise you end up looking clown like. There are enough ornaments on these sandals go round, therefore KEEP IT SIMPLE would be my motto.
On sale at Zappos for $129, available in US Size 5 to 13 including half sizes.
Antique Metallic High Heel Cork Sandal by Donald J Pilner
There’s a style I can see myself wanting to put on every day, given the platform and sizeable heel. The shoes just look so wonderfully easy to match.

I can see these working with a spring / summer time outfits or even jeans outfit. $275 at Donald J Pilner. Available in expresso and pewter antique metallic patent.
Oversizes Silk Bow Sandals with Back Tie by Linea Paolo

The oversize bow will for definently draw attention to your ankle, therefore avoid wearing them if you do not want such attention. I’m sure that Rachael Sandals will do more than enough to capture the imagination of the wearer and onlookers. Shoe lovers with all things open toe and oversize bow could consider these as an ultimate pair of shoes. Hopefully you wouldn’t be mistaken for a present. The bow might be a little too ostentatious for some for you, but If you love the style, you can get them at Nordstrom for $139.95.
