Ridiculous shoes to kick away the blues: ASOS halo sandals

Autumn is normally by far by my favourite season. But this year, I don't think it's been playing fair. Too little money, too much angst, not enough days kicking leaves in the park. So what do I do when life has thrown me one too many curve balls? Buy a ridiculous pair of shoes of course!


ASOS, I thank you and your shoe angels for gifting us with the celestial delights of the Halo Sandal. What's that? A huge chunky platform that I probably will topple over sideways in? No, it's a huge chunky platform heel that I probably will topple over sideways in COVERED IN METALLIC TILES. A plastic open-toed sling back top that's completely impractical in Winter weather? Hurrah, of course I love it.

At £50 it's not going to solve my money woes but it will make me want to do ridiculous dancing to 90s classics in my bedroom (I'm thinking N-Trance, c.1995) So well worth the price tag then.


What's your cure for the Winter blues? New shoes? 90s dance? For non-footwear related tips, I have been loving Mathilde Heart Manech's lovely five positive things to do this week posts. They'll sort out your head, I'll work on the heels.

    I actually made an audible swoon when I saw these. They are happiness in shoe form. I need them more than want them.

    MUST RESIST.

      Oh Kelly, I think you should buy them if you love them that much.

    Oh Frances, usually I'm all 'HELL YES' about your shoes. But no, not with these. I think I hate them.

      To be honest, I thought you might ... I waited till you weren't looking to post them. But imagine how much fun it would be to go dancing in these, your feet wouldn't even hurt on the way home.

      I don't think I'm going to convince you on these, am I?
