At this moment I'm quite fortunate to be blogging (while on holiday) in beautiful Bali. Thus, my mind is quite far away from what celebrities are wearing on the red carpet and what new winter styles are making their new season appearance on shelves & online right now.
I'm still very much thinking about shopping, shoes in particular, but also what my holidaying feet should be looking like & and for each specific purpose they might happen to be doing while here in Bali.
First up is to get those holiday feet holiday presentable. If your arriving from Winter the Northern Hemisphere (where your feet have been tucked away snugly in winter boots) or from the harsh Austraian summer sun, your feet should start their holiday at least looking pretty.
So, first thing is a pedicure. Two reasons why it's the perfect way to start your holiday.
1) What better way to relax and ease yourself into holiday mode.
2) Your feet will of course then look their beautiful summer best.
Next is the holiday feet dress code. In Bali shopping is one of the major pass times. You'll probably be spending hours walking the streets in extremely hot weather. You need cool, comfortable (and of course stylish) shoes. I personally recommend good old havaianas, the classic strap instead of the new slim line is probably going to be more hardy, however if you grab a pair of the metallic tops they'll not only be comfy but look fantastic with just about anything. (Pictured: Havaiana 'Top' Metallic $24.95)
There's also Birkenstock's (the classic travellers shoe) which now has a variety of nice looking styles.

I'm staying in Seminyak which over the past few years has become kind of an 'up market' and trendy little area. The dress code at night is still casual but you'll spot slightly more 'trendy' types up this end, 'Bintang' singlets not quite as plentiful as further South in Kuta. So have fun dressing up slightly in casual yet chic sandals (Bali is not the place to do heels so I wouldn't even bother packing any.)
