  1. What to Pack for a City Break

    What to Pack for a City Break

    Booking a last-minute getaway? That sounds like fun! What about that last-minute packing? You know what they say: “Those who fail to prepare prepare to fail.”

    Whether you’re off on an impromptu trip or have been dreaming of a quick escape all year, a city break can be just as much fun as a longer holiday.

    City breaks are all about soaking up as much of one location as possible in just a couple of days, and of course, you’ll want to look good doing it when it’s time to share your treasured memories with family and friends.

    But while it might look nice in pictures, the wrong footwear can lead you to pain and discomfort when all you really want to do is peruse shops, cafes and restaurants and take in the beautiful sights. In order to make the most of your time away, you need to pack sandals that are comfortable and supportive.

  4. Get your feet ready for summer

    Get your feet ready for summer

    Every summer we start to prepare ourselves for the season ahead. We get a tan, buy a new outfit and a pair of flip flops, and we book a holiday somewhere warm and sandy. One thing many of us overlook is our feet, either because we think it takes too much effort or no one will notice anyway.

    But trust me, people do notice, especially when you’re rocking your favourite flip flops or most comfortable sandals. And even if they don’t, giving your feet a bit of TLC can have an effect on your overall mood and confidence when walking about.

    Getting your feet summer-ready doesn’t have to be unpleasant or costly. It can be a relaxing ritual along with the rest of our summer prep.

  7. What to Wear on Your Escape to the Last of the Summer Sun

    What to Wear on Your Escape to the Last of the Summer Sun

    Summer in the UK is never long (or hot) enough for some of us, and we dream of catching the last of the sun before it’s back to rain and overcast skies. For those whose circumstances allow it, arranging one last getaway is the perfect way to wrap up the summer holidays. This last hoorah is all about soaking up those last few rays of precious sunshine!

    It’s all well and good choosing a stunning location for your holiday backdrop, but what are you actually going to do when you get there? Are there any points of interest that are a must on your to-do list, or do you just want to lounge on the beach and consolidate your tan?

    Knowing what you’re going to be doing in advance can help you decide what to pack. Make sure you’re well prepared for all your adventures. Pack comfortable, weather-appropriate clothes and equally comfortable footwear. Speaking of, do you know what flip flops you’re taking with

    Family Beach Essentials You Should Never Forget to Pack

    Beach trips with the family are wonderful, but in reality, they take a lot of coordination and preparation from the whole family in order to make them go by without difficulty. As a family-owned business living in Cornwall, we know better than anyone that in the chaos of getting everyone ready, we forget to pack both essential and non-essential items that might make the day go a bit smoother. Here are some things you should definitely remember to bring with you if you’re taking the kids to the beach this summer.

  10. Winter Sunshine, Skiing, Florida and Thailand

    Winter Sunshine, Skiing, Florida and Thailand

    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.
