Helen Skelton's gorgeous chunky block heel sandals just gave us an excuse to buy another pair of shoes and we're eyeing them up in both colours.
Nailing a summer capsule wardrobe is a mission most fashion lovers take joy in every year, but compiling the perfect collection of shoes for the season can be tricky - especially if you want a pair of chunky heels that work for a range of occasions.
Luckily, Helen Skelton has given us a serious dose of shoe inspiration with her latest Instagram upload, posing in a gorgeous summer outfit that includes a pair of heeled sandals by Dune that we're dying to get our hands on.
Taking to social media, the Countryfile presenter shared a series of photographs documenting the best of her latest outfits. In the first snap, Helen can be seen looking laid back yet impeccably stylish in a flowing pleated skirt, relaxed cotton shirt from M&S and a pair of Dune block heels.
Shop Helen's Dune Sandals
Helen's exact Dune sandals are available to buy on John Lewis right now - but they're selling fast at other retailers, so we recommend a quick purchase if you want them.
The Dune Judies Leather Platforms are also available in a super classic white strap design with the same wooden block heel. Ideal for adding a pop of crisp white to any summer outfit.
The statement Dune sandals feature a solid wooden block heel and a tan leather strap with a cross over design and open toe. Secured to the platform base with a golden stud detail, they're far comfier to wear than stiletto heels or wedge sandals. So if you've been keen to elevate your summer outfits with the addition of a heel, these are ideal.
Wanting to take even more style inspiration from Helen? Style the Dune sandals with a flowing, pleated midi skirt and a loose fitting shirt for a super comfy look for warm days or balmy summer evenings.
