I love the barely there straps of these sandals, because they are dainty and don’t compete with my dress at all. The heel height is listed at 3″, but they don’t feel that high. I usually don’t go in for low heels, but there’s no way I could walk in something this strappy if it were a high stiletto, not for a whole day of meeting and greeting, anyhow. Available for $69 from Nine West.

Don’t Forget The Shoes!!!!

I wouldn’t recommend sinking a lot of money into a really trendy shoe or purse, but why not save some $$$ on classic colors or shapes that you’ll be able to use for years?  This is not the time to buy wacky colors or trendy finishes – but accessories like these “Narcissa” pumps from Boutique 9:

Or you could still go with something a little more summery, like this strappy sandal from Pura Lopez:

The same advice goes for handbags – treat yourself to a classic bag that will last for years, like this caramel-colored “Brera” purse from Furla:

I just got to try out a new product from Spongeables, called “Pedi-scrubs”, that should help keep your feet in strappy-sandal condition.

Pedi-scrubs are a two sided sponge (one side is soft, for skin and the other is a pumice sponge for soles) infused with soap.  They did a great job of buffing my heels (where I’m prone to getting calluses) and were gentle enough for my toes.

I tried out the green citrus-eucalyptus after a long day on my feet & it felt wonderful… smelled good too

Spongeables & Pedi-scrubs are available in drugstores, salons and department stores.
