Chelsea Flower Show is always an exciting time for gardeners, growers, florists, landscapers, vegetable lovers and anyone with an appreciation for nature’s beauty.
Every year seems to surpass the last, and this year was no exeption…
Having been a florist for 20 years and a regular CFS attendee for 30 years, Jackie Brooks was the perfect lady to test out a pair of our sandals, and see how they’d hold up after a long day browsing and admiring what this year’s show had to offer.
Jackie wore Gabor Karen 42.824.50 ; a beautiful white leather wedge sandal, with a bold silver buckle on the ankle strap.
Now, those of you who have been to Chelsea Flower show before will know. This event is BIG! There is so much to see, which also means so much risk of that horrible ‘soles on fire’ thing I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, but Jackie explained that she was genuinely surprised at the comfort level. The leather lining and cushioned foot bed will help this, but walkability scored high on the scale as well, especially for a first time wear. For a lady who runs her own floristry business, Jackie appreciates the absolute importance of comfort and wearability, but also wanted to look relatively smart/casual for this event, and Gabor Karen 42.824.50 worked perfectly.
Jackie wore them with cropped white jeans and a sweet printed blouse and mentioned that she now wants them in a different colour too…Luckily for Jackie, we also stock them in tan!
If you didn’t get the chance to go this year, take a look at some of Jackie’s highlights…
Tickets and Gianni Conti 913206 bag at the ready…
Meet Jackie’s Mum, fitting in with the display perfectly!
Bright and vibrant colour palettes were in abundance this year, demonstrated in carnival style headdresses and a huge peacock.
A happy little treefrog sits in amongst a tropical paradise and copper has been intricately entwined with yellows, greens and the brightest of pinks.
Soft pastels are delicately displayed, and orchids are combined with hydrangeas and roses.
The biggest Dubarry boot we’ve ever seen
After a long day Jackie returns home feeling inspired and ready to take on the busy up-and-coming wedding season…with her feet very much intact and unblemished.
Gold Medal for comfort and style!
