Socks With Sandals
On the runway, I think it’s sort-of cute, the whole school-girl inspired socks trend. And on Barbie, it looks just adorable. But in real life, very few can pull off this trend. And often when they try, it’s disastrous.

I bought MICHAEL Michael Kors Berkley Sandal for full price months ago and they’re one of my most comfortable sandals I own. If you follow my ThinkThru Fashion Diary on Twitter you’ll see that I wear them all the time with just about everything. Right now all the colors are on sale as part of Nordstrom’s Fall Shoe Clearance. I have the black patent but the black stretch mesh look nice as well. I would just stay away from the leopard or silver. They look a little cheap. Click below to shop the sale.
If you’re not familiar with Shop It To Me, you need to join pronto. It’s a personal online shopper that alerts you whenever something you might be interested goes on sale—which is especially great in this economy. They have a zillion brands to choose from and you can receive updates as frequently as you like (since I have awful will power when it comes to shopping deals, I chose a weekly alert).
I was checking out Shop It To Me’s blog today and discovered these adorable Rampage Ramira rosette sandals ($45 $29.99). They’re not floral masterpieces like the Valentino purses I’m still lusting over, but they’re too adorable to pass up.
Two weeks ago, Bliss was slashed 50% off a selection of FitFlops. I ordered a pair of the genius sandals that tone as you walk, and have been wearing them every time I take out Bunny. I haven’t noticed results yet, but they are definitely the most comfortable sandals ever.
Now you can take an extra 20% off the sale sandals, as well as already reduced MBT, SpringBoost and Miyata Footwear (I’m a huge fan of MBT sneakers. They toned my butt throughout college). But hurry up! There aren’t too many sizes. I wanted these bronze babies, but only size 5 is left. Click the link below to shop other colors…
Bliss World is offering up to 50% off select FitFlops till July 5. My neighbor and mother say their FitFlops are the most comfortable pair of thongs they’ve ever owned. I’ve always used MBT sneakers to work out while walking my dog, Bunny. But now that summer is here—and I can get a pair for $24.99, plus free shipping—I’m going to give FitFlops a try. Get yours by clicking the text link below. And hurry! I just ordered mine in black and there aren’t too many sizes left.
