This time is year is perfect for disposable, of the season fashion--you don't want to spend a ton on something you might not wear next year!
So I've compiled some cute summer sandals--all for under $100:
First, flats:
I'm personally stuck in flats for the next 6 months (foot surgery), so these options are apt:
Top Row: Jeffrey Campbell Natural Python Snake Gladiator Sandal, $65, www.lulus.com; Mackenzie Flat Sandals, $88, www.jcrew.com; Haiku Sandals, $90, www.guess.com.Middle: Jeffrey Campbell Jaya Sandal, $98, www.urbn.com; BCBGirls Sammie Toe Thong, $80, www.endless.com; Klaris Sandal, $60, www.ninewest.com.
Bottom Row: Matisse Women's Scoop Ankle Open Toe Flat, $85, www.endless.com; Synapse Yellow Leather, $70, www.stevemadden.com; Sam Edelman Gold Snake Gilda Sandal, $78, www.shopkitson.com.
Not all of you are stuck in flat shoe purgatory, so you might want a few well heeled options...
...for a day at the beach:
Top Row: Ollioule, $99, www.guess.com; Michael Kors Pewter Dylan Sandals, $71, www.bluefly.com; Aerosoles Trap Door Sandals, $80, www.endless.com.Middle Row: Report Women's Hayden Sandal, $80, www.endless.com; BCBGirls Zandra Sandal, $89, www.macys.com; Tie Leg Sandal, $55, www.asos.com.
Bottom Row: Cameron Suede Espadrilles, $99, www.jcrew.com; Enzo Angiolini Women's Looker, $99, www.endless.com; AK Anne Klein Mariah, $79, www.piperlime.com.

ReplyDeleteClaire I was reading the times today and I was like damn I should send this to Claire because this story is crazy.Personally I love dresses there is so much you can do with them..I have one on now with a cropped yellow jacket. I disagreed with the interviewees in the articles who supported trousers. I like pants too but its more fun exploring your feminity. I was looking for sandals that did not cost an arm in the leg because you are only wearing them for about two months and places like steve madden are bugging by charging 100+ dollars for some sandals that is mostly composed of a shoe sole. Thanks for that story!
ReplyDeleteKim- I tried urban outfitters sandals and many of them are poorly made and they want to charge alot of money for them.
thanks girl! i love the flat sandals choices... i'm not into heels most of the time.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is fantastic! I love it! Is there a chance that we could do a link exchange? Please stop by my blog when you have the time!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this post.
ReplyDeleteI am dying for a pair of Gladiator shoes...AHHH!
They will definetly be around for a while though, it's just that of course once a trend goes mass...it's downfall is right around the corner.
But Gladdies have been around for about 2 summers now...love em, and great finds
Thanks Claire. I will have to add a few of those shoes to my shopping list! The flats Beyonce has on are actually under $100 (I am pretty sure) because I have em... They are Bernardo. Basically the best way to get away with wearing flip flops to work (leather and metallic). Love em.
