Parklife
Sometimes a trip to the park is all it takes to give me some perspective. London is so glorious on days like these, it’s almost difficult to remember the crazy awful weather that came before.
We are so lucky to live near some of the best parks in the Capital but Greenwich Park has a special place in my heart. It was the first park I visited in London and I remember going for jogs there in my first year of uni. You should know, I am the worlds worst jogger. Embarrassingly bad. My right arm seems to take on a life of its own. I no longer jog.
Today was unexpectedly incredible weather wise. As soon as Hubby finished work we hit the park, sat on a bench, marveled at the phenomenal view and for a short while I forgot about any worries.
It also was the perfect opportunity to wear my new favourite sandals. When I say favourite, I mean…..I am crazy about these shoes! Whilst I adore saltwater sandals I choose not to wear them because they’re made from leather, so when I found these lookie likey pair in Dorothy Perkins I was ecstatic. They happen to have them in red and tan too and I am sorely tempted to buy both.
Not only are they super comfortable, they also happen to go perfectly with virtually my entire wardrobe. That’s probably a gross exaggeration but the fact remains – I love these sandals.
Sandals. Park. Hubbie. Peace. Bliss.

Yay! I’m curious to read all your answers
ahhhh, i want these sandals so badly! i have been looking for vegan saltwater style sandals everywhere, and these look just perfect! <3 unfortunately they seem to be sold out. at least online
Yeah, these were the last pair in my size in the store – so annoying, as I wanted the red and tan too, grrr. Maybe they’ll bring them out again seeing as they were so popular!
i hope so too! i keep checking their online shop a couple of times a day, not giving up
online’s my only chance since i live in austria.
fingers crossed!
