Ruffles, Rhinestones and Kitten Heels

In the summer, cute sandals are a must-have. Styles and materials change each year with the trends, but a few basics can be counted on.

Since I’m on the tall side, I avoid too much of a heel, but in the summer, with a cute sundress, a pair of kitten heel thong sandals are something I reach for time and again. My favorite pair look like classic flip flops, but are made of black leather, have a kitten heel, and have small rhinestones on the straps. They can be dressed up or dressed down.

For a more casual look this summer, I’ll be looking forward to my cute Gap sandals. I loved them so much I got them in two colors, black and tan with gold threads. They are flat, have ruffles along the top of the foot and have an ankle strap around the back. They make my size 10 feet look dainty and cute, and look like something from a higher end store. My first thought when I saw them was “These look like they are from Anthropologie!”

You can try these ideas here or find sandals that fit your personality. Either way, make sure to book your pedicure appointment now so you can look your best this summer!

Fossil Black Sunglasses with Rhinestone Heart Detail

My favorite piece of summer clothing is my pair of sunglasses. They are black with a rhinestone heart on each temple, and they’re Fossil brand. I got them at a department store. The sunglasses came with a great little bag that I can store them in when I’m not wearing them, that also doubles as a cleaning cloth for when they get dusty or smudged. When I wear my favorite sunglasses, I always feel so good about myself. Not only do they keep the sun out of my eyes, they help me feel like I’m making a statement: “Hey, look at me! I like to have fun!”
