It has been extremely cold and snowy here in Virginia this year, making it difficult to even think of leaving the house in a pair of sexy sandals like the fabulous ‘Calico’ shown above from Carlos by Carlos Santana – but since tomorrow is Valentines Day, who says I have to leave my house! I may just slip these babies on and nothing else all day long!!
These dreamy pink crisscross sandals will make you feel hot and sexy, no matter the temperature outside gals. Grab yourselves a pair… or two, available in twelve beautiful colors. $78.95 over at Zappos.

I took a mini vacation this past week and besides getting into the city for the Taste of Chicago Festival, playing at six flags, and generally wearing myself ragged trying to keep up with the kids, I’ve become a polyvore addict!
Until this past week I was satisfied to browse the sets others had created, then for some reason this past weekend I decided to register and make a few sets.
I’m officially addicted!
Normally I only post pics of shoes, but I’m breaking tradition today to share one of my sets and point out the L.A.M.B. sandals. They are so hot and I just adore the green. You can grab a pair for $329 @ zappos.
Well, I’ve taken the first step and admitted I have a problem. Not that it will help me stop polyvoring anytime in the near future!
You can check out all of my sets if you like – Please comment, subscribe, and add me as a contact!

If you caught my flip-flop post the other day, you’ll know I began talking about the difference between thongs and flip flops, with the primary difference being price & materials. Even though the general construct of the two is the same, thongs always are made with more substantial and generally more natural materials and it is reflected in their price.
In addition to these two very evident differences there is also the fact that thongs generally have some type of heel, even if it is a mere 1/10 of an inch.
I’ve noticed many shoe stores referring to them as “Thong Sandals” lately, but in my mind, if they don’t have a strap around the ankle or some type of closure on the back they aren’t really sandals.
My favorite Thongs from around the web:
- Juicy Couture ‘Leora’ Thongs – Simply sweet thong with tonal sequins for sparkle appeal! Leather upper & lining. Metallic leather sole with ‘Smells Like Couture’ detail. 3/8″ heel. $139 @ zappos.

- Stuart Weitzman ‘Artclass’ - Adorn your feet with these elegant thong sandals. Available in soft patent or metallic nappa leather with Swarovski® crystal accents. Leather lining. Leather sole. Made in Spain. $285 @ zappos.
- Giuseppe Zanotti I80102 (Birel Moro) – Simply stunning, this gorgeous jeweled thong sandal belongs in your collection. Leather upper. Leather lining. Leather sole. Made in Italy. $654 @ zappos.
- Vince Camuto Women’s ‘Brandy’ Flat – Vibrant, bold and oh-so-feminine, the Brandy from Vince Camuto is a pretty and practical flat that you’ll want to live in this season. Featuring eye-catching stone accents, a strappy design and leather lining for durability and breathability, this lovely slip-on thong adds elegance to casual styles, and is still glamorous enough for flowy skirts and dresses. $109.95 @ endless.
