It always surprises me to see women wearing very casual foam flip flops to locations that might normally require a little bit more dressing up.
Yes, they’re comfy, but if you feel the need to wear makeup or do something other than a messy pony tail with your hair, maybe it’s time to change shoes?
And besides, foot specialists aren’t usually big fans of flip flops either…
Need some style ideas for a sandal that’s going to be as comfy as your old flip flops, but with a dash more flair?

Skulls & Hearts flip-flops by Paul Frank!

At home, everyone is into winter boots or at least running shoes, but not the case down here… obviously. I spent the day at the Carlsbad Outdoor Mall yesterday and everyone seemed to be wearing flip flops… guys and girls. I could really get use to so little on my feet and as I type this entry, I have on a comfy pair. Doesn’t get much better than flip flops and warm temperatures.

Yes, I have been to the mall a LOT of times while down here in Florida and absolutely everyone is wearing flip flops and lots of them! Actually I saw a woman yesterday with the most amazing lime sherbet colored flip flops and they matched her tank top perfectly. So, if you are headed somewhere hot and sunny in the coming months, don’t forget the flip flops. You will fit right in. And oh yes, be sure to stock up on lots of bandages until your feet toughen up. Mine are not liking that little thing that goes between the …read more

I have always loved flip flops, but I think that I have just found a pair that takes them to the next level. Come to think about it, I don’t think that I have found a pair of Steve Madden shoes that I didn’t like!

We don’t pay half as much attention to our feet as we do to our hands and if you want to splash out on expensive sandals this summer, you just might want to take a look at what you have to work with.
It all starts with a foot spa and then lots of TLC… and of course some pretty polish for the toes! So far, red polish seems to be winning out!!
And, I’m suddenly seeing zillions of flip flops where I live. It’s been warm about three days in a row and everyone is more than ready for summer!!
