miss b loves..........espadrilles


I have always loved espadrilles ever since I bought my first traditional pair from the local village store in Les Eglisottes, north of Bordeaux, during one of my earliest visits (aged 14) to my French friend's house - they were very similar to these .........


ropeysoles.com

Now of course they come in all fabrics and designs including platforms and wedges. I couldn't resist this pair last summer from Vincci in Dubai. I like the neutral canvas, navy and white striped interior and the cute bow at the back .......They have hardly been worn as, once back in the UK, the rainy summer didn't really  lend itself to wearing them........

This year there are florals, stripes, pastels, suede.........and I've spotted a few favourites.....................

Toms 


ASOS

Marks & Spencer Autograph

Jimmy Choo


Nine West

I came across this short video showing the classic espadrilles being made...........I really like the French soundtrack too!.......



Anyway.... just patiently waiting for some sunshine to wear mine................


PS There's a huge selection at nordtrom.com and NET-A-PORTER

    Love espadrilles...they are so comfortable and the heels are much easier to walk in than stilettos! :)

    I hope you get that sunshine soon and make more use of them this summer. I watched the movie too, lots of hand work for a simple and timeless piece. I like the plain or striped ones the most and I also want a wedge one. And thank you very much for all the lovely comments, I appreciate very much : ) Have a lovely weekend : )

    The Jimmy Choo are so cute ~ albeit pricey I'm sure! The Nine West are nice too. I've been looking for a pair for the summer! Thank you for all these ideas :)

    Bonjour Miss b. Great post. I love my espadrilles too and always invest in a pair when I visit Spain. Designers are coming up with some really pretty models, as you demonstrated here. We both had shoes on our minds when we posted this week, it seems ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

    So very nice - I love the Jimmy Choos. Unfortunately, and I have no reason as to why, I always roll my ankles in that sort of heel :(. I hope you have more luck in them!

    I hope you have a great weekend, Stephie x

    I bought some pretty pink espadrilles and wore them to a new job today. Little did I know they were taking all of the new hires on a tour of the entire hospital - which was HUGE. My feel KILL!! Ah, what we pay to look pretty, huh? xo

    We love all these shoes! We are so into wedges and already have a huge list of the ones we want! We might need to get a few more jobs to pay for them all but it would be worth it right? Cant wait to see what else you will be posting now that we are following you!
