Greek is still chic where sandals are concerned this summer. With 2015 trends from Paris Fashion Week earlier this year, it's no surprise that gladiator style and strap sandals and flip flops are hot in 2015 - whether you're dressing up or down, they're versatile and come in various classic neutral colours that compliment a tan.

Many designers such as Chloé, Stella McCartney and Valentino have offered variations of the sandal including a more bohemian take with the lace-up versions. Havaianas and Ipanema have given us the high street version with the same great designs, just minus the price tag.

If you’re after some flip flops, one of the best colours for showing off that you’ve caught some rays is the metallic look which continues to be a favorite in 2015. Havaianas Freedom flip

And all because Stormtroopers are people too…

So you're a Stormtrooper. You can admit it. Everyone’s got to work, right? In fact, you're there right now. You’re in the cantina aboard the Death Star. Darth Vader is threatening to kill someone with a tray. It's just another day at the office.

You've banked up two weeks of shore leave. Just a few more days until your lovely beach holiday on Tatooine.

The weather has turned. It’s the time of year when a pair of slippers seems more favourable than your thongs (Australian for flipflops) and to get any warmth you need to stoke the fire rather than lie in the sun.

For any jammy ones with a bit of time and money to spare there are still some places in Europe with the heat on though. I’ve just got back from a toasty 33C in Gran Canaria, in November! It’s only a 4-hour flight from England and although it’s one of the Spanish islands it’s actually

Anyone had the chance to travel somewhere sunny this winter for their flip flop fix?

These last two months I’ve mostly been skiing – France, Austria, Italy and Germany – it’s been an incredible adventure and I’ve seen some beautiful vistas up there on the slopes. I’m kind of obsessed with mountains right now. You’d think I was a pro the amount of ski trips I’ve had, but sadly no, sometimes you just have to do things for the sheer pleasure rather than the fact you have any sort of skill.

Those ski boots have been an uncomfortable change from the usual flip flopping about. I’ve learned from experience that you really need to make sure your boots fit in the shop before you head out on the slopes. As in really stamp around and wear them in the shop for a bit. There was one day when my feet were so squashed into the boots up on the slope that I could barely ski down to change them. Not cool.

After a disastrous flip flop month in August where I tripped over my broken suitcase in the middle of the road in Montreal and snapped my green and silver Havaiana slims I was happy to get some new ones this month. I’d had to get by on some New York Yankees specials from Walmart, which lasted all of about a week in the Adirondacks in New York before
