I am sooo excited for summer, I've been buying loads of pretty skirts and dresses recently in the sales and I'm just dying to get them out of the wardrobe. If only it was warmer! I always seem to struggle when it comes to shoes though, does anybody else have that problem? It seems my choices are dolly / ballet shoes or flip flops. I've literally worn out my Abercrombie & Fitch flip flops over the past couple of years, so I've been on the lookout for some new ones!

I found out about ipanema.uk.com online and had a browse through their website. I literally could have made a wishlist featuring every single pair, but after mooching about their website for nearly an hour, managed to whittle it down to my top 5...

1.  Lolita Flip-Flop £20

How pretty is that little gold bow?! I love the gold and cream colour combination. They're so pretty and fresh, yet have an elegance about them as well - I think I would be able to wear these to a party and not have to worry about whether they are classy enough!

2. Lipstick Wedge £35

I love wedges and the design on the sides are so pretty! I wear a lot of blue so these would go really well with nearly everything in my wardrobe.

3. Vitraux Sandal £30

These would be perfect for strolling along the beach or going to a festival. I like that they have a cute ankle strap making them perfect for doing more active things in the sunshine, like a bike ride.

4. Switch Straps Flip Flop £25

These are my absolute personal faves! I love the gold and purple pattern and I also love that the straps are interchangeable. It means that no matter what I'm wearing, I would have the flip flops to match!

5. Unique II Flip Flops £16

There's a huge range of designs to pick from from the Ipanema Unique range, where the two shoes don't match - but yet they match perfectly!
