"Vain trifles as they seem, shoes can change our view of the world and the world's view of us"

Gladiator-style sandals have been popping up on the likes of Kate Moss, Sienna Miller et al for a while now but surfing the net today, I realised how popular this look is this season. I'm still not sure of this trend but with so many variations on the theme available, I'm sure it won't be long before I go Roman!










Get your hands on the high-leg gladiator style sandals at ASOS a la Kate Moss. At the higher end of the market are Alexander McQueens chocolate brown leather flat, open-toe style sandals and Miu Miu's tan leather jewelled thongs. Last but not least, are Topshop's faux snake lace up style sandals. The ones I would most likely wear are the Miu Miu thongs as they allude to the Gladiator trend without looking as though they should be worn in the Colosseum! However, for those more trend conscious and fashion forward, any of the lace-up styles would look great teamed with a floaty summer number!
