I really like this sandal from CK! It is just a flat out great summer slip on. You can dress it up or down. It works with shorts, capri’s, sun dress or even with a cute summer mini. The silver is my favorite but it’s also available in black. $70 @ zappos.

If you’re looking to glam up your summer, step into these beauties from Dolce Vita in the fierce Gold Lizard metallic. I’m loving on the scrolled overlay! $134 @ zappos.

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.

The temperature is finally climbing, and I am ecstatic! The sun is shining in and around the Chicago area & we are actually going to see temperatures above 50 degrees today! In celebration, I’ve just ordered a pair of these cute “Rant” flats from Bobbi Blu.

Sure, they aren’t high fashion. No four inch heel or decorated wedge. I won’t be wearing them to the office, out on Friday night, or to church on Sundays, but I will definitely wear the heck out of them. I think they are adorable and so easy-breezy, just exactly what I was looking for to wear over Spring Break while hanging out with my kids, spending some time in my yard (if nature keeps supplying the warmth that is), and just enjoying some needed “Down” time.

The price is right and the look is so playful & fun, with very feminine elements like the bow, lace and print fabric uppers. Also available in Mustard & Taupe. $63 @ zappos.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, if you are looking for something special to wear for that hot date with your sweetheart take a peep at these cute polka dot slip-on’s from Daniblack.   Available in red, black, hot pink (shown above), Caribbean, and tangerine.

$117.95 @ endless.

As the weather changes and I’m spending more of my free time outside in Spring, I just love having a polished little mule like the “Carlotta” to slip-on and go.

This cute cross between a mule & moc from Bella Vita is one of those wonderfully comfortable shoes that you can wear just about everywhere on the weekends – be it shopping, the lake, or a picnic at the park. In addition to the lovely pink tumbled leather, Bella Vita has added a bit of bling to the moc uppers to keep you on the cutting edge of cool – while you are out enjoying the warmer weather.

Available in four fashionable Spring colors.  $83.95 @ zappos.

Regardless of whether you are relaxing alongside a sand covered beach in the Caribbean or boutique shopping in South Beach, these lovely Jeweled Heel Slide Sandals from Rossorosa are definately what you should be wearing.
