Day 31 - Chateau Chanel

These superb vintage Chanel cork sandals were purchased at Leslie Hindman's fabulous auction house in Chicago in 2010 by a very dear friend of mine, and brought over to Australia where they are enjoying a renaissance as very upscale "drinking sandals". You see, the heels are like champagne corks and have "Chateau Chanel" printed on them, along with the interlocking c's. They are standing outside The European on another hot summer's day after a long lunch, accompanied by Serge Lutens' Fleurs de Citronnier.

Day 30 - Pool cool

On a very hot summer's day, these jewel green satin Kate Spade party sandals are cooling off by the pool, accompanied by one of my favourite fragrances from the nineties (but timeless, and genderless, as all good fragrances are), Bulgari's Eau Parfumee Cologne au The Vert.

Day 29 - Still life with shoes

Jigsaw beige suede sandals with brown jewel detail and wooden heels posed with gardenia and mango (why not?), worn with L'Artisan Parfumeur Figuier Extreme.

Day 28 - Wild

Superb Jimmy Choo leopard print silk mules basking in the remains of the afternoon sun. They make me think of a wild American woman of my acquaintance who likes to proclaim "leopard is my favorite color!" (Non-Americans, note American spelling). Worn, naturally, with Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur.

Day 27 - Out on the tiles

Belle by Sigerson Morrison brown suede sandals out on the tiles, worn with Bandit by Robert Piguet.

Day 26 - Tennis shoes

Australia Day. The small coral-coloured dot to the right is Rafael Nadal, nicely co-ordinated with my Marc Jacobs fabric sandals with fuchsia patent trim, in the process of being beaten by countryman David Ferrer in the men's quarter-final of the Australian Open. Worn with Guerlain's Vetiver.

Day 25 - Leger at leisure

Herve Leger taupe and cream mules with small gold buckle detail and wooden heels, relaxing outside Florentino's on Collins Street. Worn with Histoires de Parfums' Noir Patchouli, bought in Paris but - exciting - now available at Myer Melbourne!
