Spring Instep

I’m celebrating the spring equinox today with a delicious pair of peachy pink leather sandals. This pair called ‘Alice’ is by Skin Hello Midnight, from the Through the Looking Glass collection. (Other quaint names include ‘Tea Party’, ‘White Rabbit’, ‘I’m Late’, ‘Important Date’, ‘Wonderland’ and ‘Snow Drop’.) They are actually from Spring 2012, but I bought them on sale during this past winter, and haven’t had a chance to kick my heels in them yet.

Today, inspired by Botticelli’s painting Primavera, I took these heels for an outing to the Royal Botanic Gardens, and photographed them in a lawn carpeted with white starry flowers (the coloured ones I added in). Aren’t they pretty enough to put a spring in your step?
