Could we have asked for better weather over the Easter holiday? It was so lovely I decided to take some time out and make the most of it. Something I don’t often do but I stayed away from social media for four whole days more or less.
Just the thought of getting into some proper summer wear and sandals excited me. These new Blaire sandals from Vionic Uk have been staring at me, teasing me on a daily basis. And I’ve been so looking forward to sharing them with you all.
This summer will be all about me and Blaire
I’ve been posting my sandals and pumps from last years Vionic collection on my stories and Instagram. It’s good to be out of the ankle boots and feel some air to those tootsies! My sandals from last year are still like new and like slippers on my feet.
As soon as I was offered a choice from the new SS19 collection I knew as soon as I saw the Blaire sandals that they were “the ones!”
A glorious day for a walk in my favourite park – testing the Blaire for comfort
Gorgeous soft suede in the colour of Light Grey was my choice. A neutral shade that will work well with my summer wardrobe. especially my pastel pinks and blues that I’m fond of collecting.
The Blaire is also available in snakeskin, Rose and Black. I worried a little about the width on the straps. I have small but wide feet and it turns out that these have ample room. It does actually state on the website that this design isn’t suited for the narrow foot.
A contoured inner, just like all my other Vionic shoes/boots that I wear for that special support. Famed for their comfort and relieving heel pain, plus helping with posture. (you can read why they are so good here )
I just had to get a shot of this beautiful wisteria. Often seen dangling from the front porches of a house, this low bush full of flower in the park took my breath away. I wanted to take some photos for my stories but there were already young girls already taking turns to take shots for their “grams”
After taking some photos we sat there for some time. People watching. I’ve never seen the private gardens at Syon Park so busy ever! I normally come here midweek when everyone is at work and have the gardens more or less to myself, although there’s always a film crew filming something or other. It’s a really beautiful place to visit though.
The dress
[lookbook id=”3610″ show-legend=”true” show-desc=”true” show-reveal=”true”]
The dress is from the new collection from the Conscious range at H&M I spotted it in store and fell for it’s floral design and floaty feel. I’d spotted it on a few bloggers and just loved it. It’s supposed to be worn without a belt but I felt it made me look dumpy!
As much as I love it on everyone else I’m not sure about it for me. It’s sold out at the moment but due back in stock, so the links (affiliate) have been left below for you.
A perfect pairing with the Blaire sandals though I think. Lets hope we get lots more sunny days! I’ve packed my coats and winter wardrobe away now, so fingers crossed!
The sandals are super comfortable and I can’t recommend them enough. Thinking about it, I wear Vionic shoes most out of all my shoe collection. If you have some Vionics you will know what I mean. Let me know what you think about them if you have a pair or do you have your eyes on a pair for this year? The new collection is gorgeous and worth a look.

Super look, Laurie. It’s clear from the photos that these sandals give good arch support from the thickened centre of the sole. And so stylish too!
Hugs, Mary.

Thanks so much Jodie. I just need the weather now! It’s awful here in the Uk at the moment xx

Thanks so much Beth. Glad you enjoyed the post xx
I have heard great things about Vionic shoes. I want some strappy block-heel grey sandals, exactly like yours. Those are perfect! I also love a beautiful, floaty floral-print calf-length dress. I can see why that gorgeous floral maxi with the mellow yellow flowers is sold out. I will keep my eye on it though and hope to gift it to myself for my upcoming Birthday, this week. You look stunning, Laurie!
In my latest post I talk a little bit about Michigan and its great lakes. =) Come check it out and join my Thursday Moda Linkup on Thursdays, too.
Thanks, Ada. =)

You won’t go wrong with Vionic Morgan xx
I love your whole outfit. I’m not one for wearing heels much these days but they do look fabulous. I always struggle to find good fitting comfy shoes for my wide feet so I will have to check these out, thanks! #pocolo

Thanks Tracey. They are well worth a look. I’ve been wearing Vionic shoes for three years now due to how comfortable they are.
The sandals are super lovely, but the dress even more so! The perfect outfit for the gorgeous Easter bank holiday we just experienced! I only became aware of Vionic a few years ago as they featured at a BlogOn event – was great to meet them and check out their range. Sim x #FancyFriday

Thank you. Do you know how comfortable they are then? Did you try any on?
I already noticed this beautiful floral dress on your IG feed. Love it! It is very healthy to have some time out of social media. I love them, but they can be very consuming and addicting. I’m trying to do this breaks regularly. Thank you for sharing this look with My Red Carpet.

Oh I can walk a long time in these Carrie! Thank you xx
The sandals do look quite comfortable, Laurie and I like soft gray colour. Your dress is very pretty, soft and feminine, no wonder it was sold out. We also had incredibly warm weather over Easter. Beautiful park, glad you had good break

Hi Anna. Vionic are so worth looking at. I live in the brand daily. You would love them xx
The sandals are gorgeous, although I’m not very good with heels. If they did a flatter alternative I would definitely purchase a pair.

Hi Tracey. I think they do a flatter version. Worth a look? Thanks so much for stopping by xx

Thanks, Heather xx
It looks like a fabulous day, Laurie!! The dress is gorgeous although I’m always careful of this type too because of my lack of height – I think the belt was a really good addition though and of course those sandals! Enjoy your upcoming summer!! Donna 🧚🏻♀️❤️🙏 donnadoesdresses.com

Thanks Donna. I will be pleased when our good weather arrives. It’s very stop-start at the moment! xx
I checked out that dress online. It is such a pretty prints and light for Spring. Love it! I haven’t bought from HM in an age, as they don’t have much at our store, online looks much better! Those sandals are beautiful! I love the straps and color.

Author
Thanks Jacqui. Yes seriously thinking about getting some Wisteria too xx
Wonderfully feminine and floaty dress. Great sandals, very trendy looking. I love my Vionics and have already been wearing the gold ones from last year which we both have!
Author
Oh I’m still wearing my gold ones too Gail. They stand the test of time, don’t they? Just goes to show you get what you pay for xx
You look amazing Laurie. This dress is very nice.

I have size 3.5 – 4 feet and wonder if they would drown my feet? I’d like to try some but they are a little on the expensive side.
Author
Hi Meg. I’m a size 3 and find the Vionic brand true to size. You can always return? Well worth a try xx
Love the sandals !
Unusual price for a conscious range dress? They usually start in the 80’s and go up?
Gorgeous wisteria Laurie !! Xxxx

They must have changed their pricing this season. Have you looked? Dresses starting at £14.00
Wow this dress looks so super cute and romantic!
Hope you had a great weekend.
lots of love, Miri
