Too cute

Kerrie Jones said...

I love summer- because of the shoes-not the skimpy clothes. Being fat makes it hard to enjoy hot weather- but once you get into getting weekly pedi's and wearing cute sandals- you can make it!
Love,Yourself!

Ellen said...

Holly said...

These shoes are the perfect summer finish to a dress or slacks. My favorite part is the height- I am always striving to look taller!

I love that we get to enjoy sandals in summer. I just bought a great pair of espadrilles from Anthropologie in Atlanta and I really like the basket weave ones as well. I have heard of Oka Bs and that they are very comfortable. Great post!

I just adore the Me Too earhty thongs and the little red gingham sandals from Francesca's. I would love to win a new pair of Coach espadrilles (who wouldn't!!!), but am typically more of a flats girl:)

Hello Amy! I heard there was a shoe contest going on and of course I'm in!
Where to begin - LOVE espadrilles, LOVE thongs, LOVE flip flops, LOVE wedges, LOVE ankle wrap shoes - I am a shoe junkie and since Coach is my fave I have to vote for the Coach espadrilles as my pick.

Amy - I really want to buy these Me Too brown sandles for cruise season. I have a feeling they are all sold out in local stores. Do you know what the brand's name for them is so that I can search them on the web?
