the antidote for the late summer blues

summery woven flat sandals

I think these “Scarlett” sandals from French Sole are adorable:

Woven raffia uppers, little flowers and they even come in two colors!

Ah, now that’s a happy shoe for summer time :-)

All that glitters…

beachy sandals from Frye

Normally, when I think of Frye, I think of chunky leather boots - not these dainty metallic leather “Moonglow“  sandals:
