Tibi Twiggy T-Bar Sandals

Ashley Shute — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:39:04 +0000

If you look at pictures of my feet throughout the years you will sbe taken on an evolutionary adventure of fashion. In 1999, I was wearing rubber flip-flops from Old Navy, by 2006 I was wearing Teva flip-flops and last year I moved by way to more work appropriate leather flip-flops.

However, ten years is just too long to wear flip-flops and it’s about time to upgrade! That’s why, this year, I have finally invested in t-bar sandals. I have black ones and browns now, but after seeing these Tibi Twiggy T–bar sandals, I may have a pair of pink ones calling my closet home soon.

The thing about this style is that they are perfect for the summer. They show off perfect summer toes and come in casual styles and more dressy styles. These Tibi sandals are a perfect middle of the road compromise and grow with my flip-flop/t-bar sandal evolutionary adventure.

These sandals have a fuchsia and white swirl pattern with a slight heel along with side ankle strap fasteners. They are currently $150 (marked down from $375) and come in a variety of sizes from theoutnet.com.

Yves Saint Laurent Peep Toe Wedges

Remember that summer is a time for no rules and regulations, but I’m going to give you one rule to follow, for your safety. If you are going to be on soft ground, at any time this season, do not wear heels. Wear wedges.

Bluefly.com

And that’s fine with me! Wedges are a very trendy and very fun type of shoe to wear in the summer. And that goes for these Yves Saint Laurent Green Patent Leather Peep Toe Ombre Wedges that you can pick up at Bluefly.com. Not only are they wedges, they’re also peep toe. Two trends in one, score! They have a 4 1/2 inch heel and a 1/2 inch platform to give you some super added height. They are currently $414.39. If you shop this weekend (6/14-6/15) you’ll also get an extra 20% off!

Pretty Ornamented Flats from Calvin Klein

Do you need a new pair of flats for your Memorial Day weekend?

Check out these cute ornamented flats from Calvin Klein! The “Lebra” is a leather flat with bold, chunky beads on the toes:

If the coral is a little too bright for you, it also comes in black:

Or if you prefer, you can also find the Lebra in kelly green and bright, sunny yellow as well. The insole is lightly padded to make walking all day on the beach or boardwalk a breeze.

Ash Maya Sandals

Sandals, Sandals, Sandals. I love them with all my heart. I know one of my fellow bloggers here at Splendicity, Kori, doesn’t appreciate a flat sandal as much as I do. But, too bad! If I could be buried in a pair of flat sandals, with a great pedicure, True Religion Jeans, and a plain print blue Banana Republic T-shirt I would.

For this reason, I have fallen in love with these Ash Maya sandals from Nordstrom. They aren’t your typical flat sandals. They are fashionable, and even a little on the edgy side. I don’t know how I would justify the tan line I would get from wearing these out and about.

Nonetheless, I adore the metallic leather stitching and pewter toned hardware. They’re $199.95.

Need a cure for the winter blues?

Chloe Findlay-Harder — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 03:44:16 +0000

I have a hard time not getting jealous when read the blogs of people who live in warmer climates than I do. What do you mean, you can’t wear a t-shirt outside anymore? I’ve got a foot of snow outside my window!

I need to remind myself that the time will come when I can slip into the glorious “Sammie” sandal by Luichiny – complete with red satin flower:

Of course, if that’s a little too wild for your taste, there is the slightly more sedate Sammie in brown as well:

Need a cure for the winter blues?

is there such a thing as an over-decorated sandal?

Chloe Findlay-Harder — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:52:09 +0000

Now, before I begin – I will freely admit that I am grumpy. I may be slightly less forgiving when it come to questionable accessories than I might normally be.

Even so…

These sandals from Sigerson Morrison just don’t seem quite right to me:

Is it the braided patent leather?

The layers of leather circles on the top of the sandals?

Or the white leather ties that stick out like little fingers – how long until your cat chews those off?

At least I don’t think it’s a mystery why the sandal is now on sale, for a measly $274.0 – better than $429.00!

the antidote for the late summer blues

I just saw an orange leaf.

I think I’m traumatized.

I need something to convince me it’s still summertime! I need more long, hot days – more time to drink iced coffee on patios – I don’t want to have to wear a jacket yet!

Ah, that’s better…
