OMG Shoes! 6 Sandals for Summer Under $50

by Ashley on May 22, 2013

Until last summer, I never owned or wore sandals.  I was foot-conscious.  I also questioned my taste in sandals, unsure of what was “cute” and “stylish” and what was “old lady.”  (Anyone else have these fears and paranoias? No? Just me?)

Truth be told, it’s too hot not to wear sandals in the summer here,, and I needed to overcome my insecurities.  So I’m looking to add a few more fashionable and versatile pairs to my closet.

That being said, sandals are so insubstantial.  I can’t imagine paying a lot of money for them when they’re essentially a few straps of fabric or leather attached to a cardboard heel.  I’m happy to pay $150 for an amazing pair of comfortable leather flats that I’ll wear 3 times a week, but spending that on sandals? Nope. Nada. Ain’t gonna happen.  That’s a closet compromise.

When I’m shopping for sandals, I’ve had success with Ideeli, Rue La La, Hautelook, and Amazon frequently.   My favorite brand for sandals (so far!) have been Seychelles.  They’re comfortable and well-made, and much more affordable at a half price discount.

Dresses & Skirts – Summer 2013 Wish List

April 29, 2013

Image by Graphistolage I’m trying to rebuild my basic wardrobe, and with New Orleans’ summer ahead, that means figuring out what I REALLY need to stay comfortable this summer.  Summer here feels like a Tennessee Williams play: hot and heavy, a bit suffocating, a bit sexual, and often makes you want to die.  (Or at [...]

What Sex & the City Taught Me about Love & Relationships

April 22, 2013

I watched Sex and the City when it originally aired, when I was in my late teens to early twenties.  And it surprised me to think there’s this whole generation of young women, like myself, who grew up with the show who are now catching up with Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda.  As my fiance [...]
