In celebration of the First Day of Summer – I present some of my favorite flip flops for the summer season. Flip flops, not to be mistaken for “Thongs” or “Thong Sandals” (that’s tomorrow’s post!), are low priced, very very casual, bold & fun, have no heel, and are generally made of rubber or another synthetic substances. They are not meant to be ultra chic or cost a fortune – luckily for me many designers offer their own unique & stylish flip flop creations – which means I can get several pairs! Many of these are currently on sale, so if you like them, grab ‘em while you can.
