Summer Shoes

I find that, most of the time, the only shoes I buy are platform stilettos for going out. I never seem to update my sandals collection, and those are the shoes in dire need of new friends. With summer closing in fast, I especially need to focus my thoughts on finding fun new sandals and wedges to get me through the warmer months (which means most of the year in Florida). Here are my top picks:

I saw these while shopping in Connecticut this past week. I love the cutout detail and the thick ankle strap helps to ensure they'll stay on all day.

These espadrille wedges are the perfect addition to a summer dress.

I rarely shop in American Eagle anymore, but I ventured in this past weekend and saw these sandals. I think I may have to start stopping in regularly.

These coral sandals will help to add some color to jean shorts and a plain tee. Bonus: they're only $30!

Another does of color: I'm loving these Steve Madden turquoise sandals at only $40.

I saw these in Zara (hooray, I made it!) and fell in love. It's a classic shape we've all seen before, but they've updated it with braiding.
