 Mix together a pitiful resistance towards temptation, too many nights spent ogling over Aitken Jolly's shoot for B Mag and a secure PayPal account and what do you get?

A two day wait for the postman and some seriously questionable footwear.

What? I plan on visiting a lot of pools this summer.

Talk about a walking contradiction. 

Pool slides will be surfacing for air again this coming AW (no not SS) and well, with the help of Whistles' sumptuous fall collection at LFW, it's hard not to see why. Teamed alongside the dreamiest of chunky knits, texturised ombres and delicate lilacs; the 'we're not making a statement but really we are' slip-ons should be right at the top of everybody's list of essential footwear.

We fashion-forward Brits really do care little for the weather.

That said, I still need to dig out those Birkenstocks from last year.
