I don’t do thongs – I mean, at all (for non-Aussies, this refers to footwear not undergarments), not on the beach and not on the street. And especially not on the street. I’ll stop there before this turns into a hateful tirade against what is probably Australia’s favourite summer sandal. Which brings me to, in total contrast, these gorgeously simple and chic Novo two strap sandals. The tactile texture and zipper detail sealed the deal on these sandals for me, and the elastic ankle strap makes these shoes just too easy to slip into first thing in the morning. The temperature here in Canberra has inexplicably skyrocketed (in relative terms, of course) this month, and these summer sandals are now part of my warm weather uniform, along with my irreplaceable OneTeaspoon Bandit ripped denim shorts and drape-tastic Decjuba breton striped tee (purchased from their new Canberra Centre boutique).
