No one loves a good Topshop find more than UK girls since the affordable retailer has a huge base there. So it's no wonder why its take on a '90s-style strappy sandal would be adorning the feet of women all across London.

Would it really be an It shoe roundup without a mention of By Far? No, not really. The accessories brand continues to be wildly popular among the fashion set, and London girls are favoring its Libra Cutout Mules above all.
