American Eagle Flip Flops from Payless

My favorite type of summer clothing would have to be my flip flops. Any other time of the year your feet get stuck in shoes, boots, or heels. However when summer rolls around flip flops become mandatory everyday wear. My favorites are ‘American Eagle’ brand from Payless. The come in such fun bright colors and very stylish designs, all the while managing to be fairly inexpensive. Styles can actually range from simple beach attire or to nicer yet still relaxed evening foot wear. There is just something about a great pair of flip flops, they instantly send a more relaxed and laid back message, which is what summer should be.

My Big Hollywood Sunglasses

My favorite sunglasses are my big Hollywood glasses; they’re white frames with dark lenses that have a purple tint. I bought them for about $5 at H&M two years ago. I love walking around NYC in the summer with them. Sometimes I put my Yankees hat on and pretend to be a celebrity and “hide” from the public eye in Starbucks or wherever I am. My boyfriend says they look like big alien eyes or Bono glasses but I can’t stop wearing them. They’re great for when I want to hide from the world and just be glamorous or just a day at the beach.

Thong Sandals are My Favorite Summer Shoe

My favourite summer shoes.. would be ‘thongs’ – they have many names : ‘thongs’ in Australian (which sometimes raises eyebrows if you’re speaking to people from overseas), ‘flip flops’ in the UK, and ‘jandals’ if you are from New Zealand . My thongs are very comfortable and are now molded to the shape of my foot. They allow my feet to breathe and make a nice click, click sound when I walk. I prefer black thongs as they match all of my clothes, but some people like to wear brightly coloured ones. When I put on my thongs, I remember my childhood – playing in the streets with the neighbourhood kids and riding our bikes around town. Also, of daytrips and holidays to the beach. You need a pair of thongs to go to the Australian beaches, because the sand is very hot, and the thongs stop you from burning your feet! I wear my thongs with jeans, long pants, shorts, skirts and dresses – anything and everything really!
