Summer’s Coolest Sandals

[vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]Sandals:  Well the weather is still unpredictable to say the least but the humidity has arrived – which  means no matter the weather forecast – we need sandals at the ready!

Top picks this season at Quattro Rish are the sleek, slip-on style that you’ll find in nearly every fashion blogger’s wardrobe – the slide sandal, but also we adore the low block heel.  Both are from our favourite footwear brand, Sol Sana.

We’re sharing the styles you’ll spot every fashion blogger wearing at one point or another this season.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][custom_headline id=”” class=”” style=””]Slide Sandals[/custom_headline][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3739″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]The Forster studded sandals are an extremely flattering and incredibly comfortable sleek alternative to your beloved Birkenstocks.  We had this style last year without studs and simply lived in them at Quattro Rish.  Uber-cool and easy to style – they go with trousers, shorts and dresses – daytime through to evening.  They add a dash of edge to a pretty outfit or a twist if you are a minimalist type.[/text_output][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]The espadrilles / Lawrence sandals are such fun.  Styled with a beach dress from Essentiel and a Becksondergard hat, they are the perfect addition for your summer holiday, or as an everyday option to flip flops.[/text_output][image src=”3740″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3741″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Sol Sana Lawrence Sandals, £89 / Essentiel Antwerp Beach Dress, £119 / Becksondergaard Hat, £29[/text_output][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3742″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Sol Sana Foster Slide, £80 / American Vintage Dress, £99 / Becksondergaard Bag, £45 / Becksondergaard Embroidery Linen Scarf, £99[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][custom_headline id=”” class=”” style=””]Swish Swish[/custom_headline][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3743″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3744″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]Fringing is massive this season, especially on your feet.  We adore the Jac flat sliders with fringing in a beautiful chestnut suede – they are fun but at the same time simple – perfect for those who want to inject a little on-trend style into your wardrobe.

For a heel version of the tasseled sandal we have the amazing Mavin in chestnut suede.  They are fun and super flattering – if you are a heel girl you’re going to love them.  Our lovely customer – the beautiful actress Sarah Parish – loves them! She tends to wear them with jeans & tees.

Otherwise if you are boho girl – you can just mix them up with boho maxis, florals and tassels – it works, we promise![/text_output][text_output]Sol Sana Jac Slide in Chestnut Suede, £70 / Sol Sana Mavin Heel in Chestnut Suede, £130 / Reiko Denim Jumpsuit, £125 / Bellerose Glitter Bag, £69[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][custom_headline id=”” class=”” style=””]Low Block Heel[/custom_headline][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3747″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3748″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]Now technically the Tobi heel from Sol Sana does Swish Swish but we have placed this chunky heel sandal firmly in the low block heel section.  With a delicate feminine front and tassels around ankle, the Tobi sandal is bang on trend in every way – as well as being cool and easy to wear.

Kat (who you might remember from a blog post before / doesmybumlook40?) fell in love with them in a big way: –

“Just had to mention the shoes which are the perfect heel height for both every day wearing and dancing into the small hours.  Super comfortable and if you’re not that much in love with your feet (if you looked at mine you would think I was one gene away from Hobbit), the fringing on these does wonders to hide what you don’t really want to be looking at.  And bang on trend too.  Perfection in sandals all round – the Sol Sana Tobi heel.”  Kat [/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3749″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]Another low block heel this season from Sol Sana is the Porter heel in toupe – very Isabel Marant – but for a fraction of price.  The studs add an edge to the style of the sandal and will never date.  They have been popular, so if you are size 7 or 8 we still have a 2 pairs left![/text_output][text_output]Sol Sana Tobi Heel in Black Suede, £140 / shown with Custommade Tee, £45 / Twist & Tango Hat, £45 / Sol Sana Porter Heel in Studded Taupe Suede, £130[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][custom_headline id=”” class=”” style=””]Wedges[/custom_headline][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]We could not resist these gorgeous, colourful wedges by EssentielAntwerp.  They are high but because of the platform they feel very comfortable.

Off-Screen Style with Sarah Parish

[vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]

This week’s style guide was so much fun and all came about when a friend of a friend – who recently lost weight on the Rick Hay Anti-Ageing Food and Fitness Plan – needed a new wardrobe.

It turned out that the friend was actress Sarah Parish, who has just finished filming an eight-part series, The Collection, for Amazon Prime. This month also sees Sarah start filming the third and final series of Broadchurch as well as series six of Trollied.

Styling Sarah Parish was a dream job – confident, beautiful and enthusiastic, she really knew what flattered her body shape.  Sarah needed a few easy, casual and effortlessly stylish outfits – something we know a thing or two about at Quattro Rish! We love simplicity; classic yet modern clothes, which are amazing quality but at the same time super easy to wear.  We also like to add fun, on-trend pieces into our collections that add a dose of seasonal style to our customer’s wardrobes!

On the go 24/7 as a mum, actress and spokesperson for The Murray Parish Trust – a charity which she founded with her husband after they lost their first daughter Ella-Jayne to congenital heart failure – Sarah regularly attends social events both in her capacity as ambassador for The Murray Parish Trust and as an actress, which is why a capsule wardrobe was all-important.

Silk blouses are just a dream to wear.  They keep you cool in the summer and cosy in the winter.  Sarah loved our MiH Zodiac blouse for its cut, feel and colour.[/text_output][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]Jeans are such an important part of a wardrobe.  We wear them so much from day through to evening that having a handful of premium go-to denim is well worth the investment.  Sarah has always struggled to find a good pair of jeans which look and feel amazing, that was until she tried on our Current Elliott High Waist Stilettos with released hem…[/text_output][image src=”3732″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Current Elliott High-waist Stilleto with released hem, £249 / MiH Jeans Silk Zodiac Blouse, £249 / IvyLee Copenhagen Pam Boots in suede, £190[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3730″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Effortlessly cool and super elegant they look great with flats, heels or trainers. You can go a size down for a more fitted look or up for more of a slouchy feel.

Sarah feels comfortable in heels and wears them so naturally and at ease.  She loved our Sol Sana tassel chestnut heels, which are such fun adding boho vibes to any outfit.[/text_output][image src=”3729″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]Slouchy tops and tees are the everyday essentials that you mix and match and grab in the morning without much thought.  The secret of a good tee is fabric and cut.  We love American Vintage – super soft and amazing quality – they are a pleasure to wear and wash so well.  Sarah was excited and relieved when she discovered the Jacksonville tee which is a-line and incredibly flattering on bigger chested ladies.

The poncho was a fun purchase for Sarah, perfect for those long, lazy summer evenings, or to cover up when travelling.  This is a piece that can be thrown over anything and will always look effortlessly stylish.[/text_output][image src=”3727″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Becksondergaard Cotton Poncho, £89 / Current Elliott High-waist Stilleto with released hem, £249 / American Vintage Jacksonville Tee in white and black, £45 / Sol Sana Tassel Mavin Heel in chestnut suede, £140 / Becksondergaard Wool Poncho, £125 / IvyLee Copenhagen Pam Boots in suede, £190[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][text_output]We were nearly finished with trying on denim when Sarah spotted a cult pair of MiH Phoebe Jeans.  Sarah L O V E D them. It’s not the look for everyone but they have been a fashion bloggers favourite for the last year or two.

[/text_output][image src=”3726″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3725″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Slouchy, comfy but so stylish, this pair of jeans looks so sexy worn with high heels, or if you are not a heels girl – pumps.

[/text_output][image src=”3719″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3720″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Sarah was rather happy when she found a classic white shirt that fitted beautifully.  Having never owned one before, Sarah went for a soft linen classic white shirt from Reiko.  Teamed with jeans and heels, or leather pants and flats, this is a look we absolutely love!

Sarah also bought the beautiful circle long necklace from Pernille Corydon and tassel fun necklace from Amadoria (they come in many  different colours).[/text_output][image src=”3721″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][/vc_column][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″][image src=”3722″ alt=”” href=”” title=”” info_content=”” lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”” style=””][text_output]Custommade Alanna Leather Pants, £100 / American Vintage Jacksonville Tee in white and black, £45 / IvyLee Copengagen Pam Boots in suede, £190 / Amadoria Tassel Necklace, £30[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]You can support Sarah and The Murray Parish Trust this summer at Rookwood Festival, a boutique music festival in Medstead, featuring Ward Thomas and the Fun Lovin’ Criminals.
