This week's most wanted: metallic sandals

Now that I've seen The Glamour of Italian Fashion exhibition at the V&A (slightly disappointed at the lack of Liz Taylor jewellery, just the one Bulgari set on show) I've remembered my vow to make 2014 The Year of Grown-Up Glamour. I think my allure might have slipped somewhat over the Easter weekend but with a pair of fabulous Tods metallic sandals in my armoury I'd soon be back on track.

I love a sturdy old-school sandal, particularly one with enough leather to cover my bunions. Though I realise not everybody feels the same. Last year, when I blogged about Church's summer sandals, the they were deemed too 1970s primary school/orthopaedic/frump-tastic. But that hasn't put me off. I'm still hankering after a pair of fringed flats and an image of this Tod's metallic sandal has been sitting on my desktop for some time. Just looking at me. Sporty and shiny, they're a modern interpretation of the jazz age style. The Tods fringed sandal is Italian and glamorous  - and comes with a glamorous Italian price tag: £375, if you must know, available HERE. But it is 50th birthday party season and we all know that no one every looked glamorous when their feet hurt.

For comfy metallic footwear without the Italian luxury goods price tag there's always Whistles Holly Flatform, £135, available HERE.

Or these leather bejewelled slides from Dune, £69, available HERE.

And, hello again metallic Birkenstocks, £130, available HERE.

How glamorous are your sandals?
