Sunshine Days

Last week we looked at some pretty fantastic espadrilles. Today I thought we would combine the style with a sneaker. That's right, the perfect summer sneaker.

Anthropologie, Alohas Bambita Espadrille, $98

If this doesn't say summer, I don't know what does.

Target, dv Roxie Canvas Lace Up Espadrille, $27

Do you love these? I love these. They also come in a handful of other colors.

Keds, Salt Espadrille Lace Up Sneaker, $55

A low maintenance shoe that is the equivalent of chambray.

Zappos, Vans ESP Tropical Peach, $57

Classic brand with a punch of feminine. Perfect for summer.

While summer may be all about the sandals, sometimes a solid sneaker is that way to go. These espadrille options are great for warmer weather.

Summer Shoes

Warmer temps mean a change in many things, perhaps the most important of which is footwear. Ok maybe not the most important, but it's a big deal. Pedicures are had, flip flops are dusted off, and for me an espadrille purchase is made. I love espadrilles as a dressier summer shoe and these lace up options have personality.

Nordstrom, Soludos Lace Up Espadrille Sandal, $54

I really, really want these shoes. It's been really difficult for me to not put these in my cart. I love the stripes and the monochrome.

Saks Off Fifth, Schutz Kobi Lace Up Espadrille, $79

Currently half off, these lace ups alternate a braided lace up and plain.

Gap, Lace Up Espadrille Wedges, $64

Feminine and bright, these also come in a muted tan.

South Moon Under, Sam Edelman Patsy Lace Up Espadrille Wedges, $89

Another wedge option with a simple canvas ribbon lace up.

Lace up those new shoes and enjoy the warmer weather. It's espadrille season.

All Tied Up

I've never been a big gladiator sandal person, mostly because I don't think I could pull them off. I like the idea of the lace up or cutout on the calf but the leather just isn't me. That's why I love the lace up espadrille wedges for summer. I can do the ankle lace in a variety of ways and the wedge makes them a bit dressier than your average sandal.

Macy's, Roxy Bolsa Chicka Tie Up Espadrilles Wedges, $52

You cannot beat this price. You don't even need a pedicure to wear them.

Bloomingdale's, Soludos Tall Lace Up Espadrilles, $95

A lovely neutral shoe for all of the sundresses in your closet.

Asos, Jacqueline Point Wedge Espadrilles, $36

These ballet-like sandals are such a statement in navy.

Lord and Taylor, Arianna Papell Penny Lace Wedge Sandals, $99

Lovely lace, also comes in pewter.

Espadrilles are the quintessential summer shoe, and the lace up detail is just the cherry on top.

Excellent Espadrille

Summer is for espadrilles. But let's mix things up with an espadrille sneaker. Yep. Blending sporty and summer to create the comfiest and chicest shoe!

Macy's, Michael Kors Kristy Lace Up Striped Espadrille Sneaker, $99 $69

See what I mean? So cute and comfy!

Nordstrom, Keds Trip Deck Espadrille, $79 $59

White shorts, chambray dress, pick whatever you want and add these.

Dillard's, Toms Palmera Shoes, $44

Love your chambray shift? This is that in a shoe. 

Lord & Taylor, Anne Klein Zippy Metallic Espadrille Sneaker, $59

A great gold sneaker acts as a neutral. It's going to go with any print or pattern.

When fashionable meets comfy, everyone wins.

Flat Out Affordable

Happy Monday lovebugs,

I hope you had a great weekend. Some great summer sales going on right now. I did some damage on the Old Navy Active sale  and today I thought we would look at some prices that go along with the sale trend. A few weeks ago we had some fun with summer espadrilles. Today let's raise the bar and look at flat espadrilles UNDER $50. 

Macy's, Nautica Rudder 2 Espadrille, $34

A little chambray on a shoe! I love the quiet anchor print.

Urban Outfitters, Soludos Canvas Espadrille Sandal, $48

These remind me of ballet slippers. So feminine and airy.

Dillard's, Kenneth Cole Reaction Boom- Er Leopard Espadrille, $47

LOVE these. Comfort, style, summer.

Zappos, Circus by Sam Edelman Lena, $45

Love the perforated trend in the summer not only for looks but also utility. These also come in five other colors.

Espadrilles are certainly a one or two season shoe, so they shouldn't break the bank. These walkable flats are perfect for summer and easy on the wallet.
