I was in London last week for a few press days and luckily enough there was an Ash sample sale on the same day. I dragged the lovely Jane along to the sale who was so controlled compared to me who had an armful of shoes to try on. I had seen some sandals online a while ago from Ash with orange studs (someone remind me if you saw them discounted somewhere too!) and thought they looked really fun. They had the below £130 down to £65. I tried them on, liked them, walked away, went back and looked at them again and thought I preferred the black which they didn't have in my size. Not only that, I felt £65 was a lot for a sandal, I only have little feet!

Fast forward a week and boy am I regretting not just getting the gold. Firstly, they are £130 full price as current season. Secondly, I live in flats in the Summer so why not spend a little more on a really decent pair that also had something else going for them in the way of those funky studs. Live and learn I say! I'd easily spend that on a wow factor pair of courts yet as they just seemed like a less substantial shoe I naturally wanted to spend less. Needless to say I'm on the hunt now. These dropped into my inbox courtesy of Topshop. I now need to find my way to store to try them on.

What's your budget for sandals - would you spend £65?
PS Size 3 in those Ash sandals please if anyone finds them remotely near the sample sale prices!
PPS The Ash also have that Balenciaga feel to them don't you think? Now at £300 + I definitely won't be wearing those on my feet any time soon!
