[Dolce Vita, $55 ]But as I said, they were teal, not kelly green.
This summer it seems like a significant number of people are abandoning that Southern California staple, the rubber or foam flip-flop, and going for more luxurious styles made of leather. I think we have the gladiator trend to thank for that: even when people aren't going for gladiators per se, the trend has still yielded a lot of elegant styles. I'm a big fan of leather sandals that have the long, elegant T-strap, like in the sandals above. It's so much more chic than big rubber straps cutting across the foot.
Anywho, Dolce Vita seems to have its finger on this trend. I can't vouch for the quality of Dolce Vita's sandals, but these are mighty cute:
I love the little owl on these. So unexpected.[ Dolce Vita, $60 ]
Franki Durbin highlighted these on her blog, and I've been slightly obsessed with them ever since.[ Dolce Vita, $85 ]
I think people are also discovering that a good-quality pair of sandals are much more comfortable (and better for your feet) than some crappy pair of shower shoes. Ah, elegance colliding with comfort...ain't it a beautiful thing?

That's a good sign. Maybe this will herald a move back toward grace and decent posture.
I'm not just being cranky and over-35; in my one pair of sandals-that-flop, I move differently myself. The old charm school walk that puts some motion in the ocean CANNOT be done in flip-flops.
I so bravely ordered these! Love your selection of sandals. And I agree, it's nice to see some chic flat footwear that isn't the ubiquitout ballet flat. ;)
Wende - yes, I've noticed that too. I like how I walk in ballet flats or heels; less so with flip-flops.
Franki - Glad I could inspire you! Which pair did you buy?
Chic, I ordered the gold Cyprus Dolce Vitas... as cute as they can be!
i love sandals like these but my feet are so darn wide that they stick out from the side! so frustrating.
cute though.
