There's no way around it: slides are hot this summer - although 'hot' is very ironically since they can be considered one of the most man repelling shoe choices - and I'm still deciding on which pair to get. It is a lifechanging decision folks. I still have a love-hate relationship with the infamous Birkenstocks - my mum has been a fan of their sensible slippers for years, and she's had to endure my criticism for an equal amount of time. Apparently, only until this year. Am I ready to accept the fact that my mum has now surpassed me fashionwise? I might go all out and splurge on the pony hair ones - drastic measurements are needed to bring me back in the fashion lead...
