Trend To Love: Gladiator Sandals

Whether you love 'em or hate 'em, prepare to see them everywhere this upcoming summer.  Expected to be worn by all your favorite "It Girls" once the temperatures rise, gladiator sandals, along with the slide on sandal {think Birkenstock} are forecasted to be THE sandals of summer.  Be on the look out for eye catching hardware, gorgeous leather straps & ties {bonus if they're in suede - another big trend!}, and fun accents like tassels or fringe.

I have a hard time embracing the full length gladiator sandal.  I admire them on other girls, but have yet to find a pair that look amazing on me.  My calves are often too small, leaving the straps to gape & hang oddly around my legs, but I do, however, love the daintier versions that strap around the ankle.  My search for that perfect full length pair is to be continued...

 In the meantime, I've featured 5 sandals that are perfect for you to store away until the promise of warmer months, or to rock asap on your next island getaway! xx

Have a beautiful weekend friends!  Thanks so much for reading xx

  3. I have pretty big calves for a girl and if I wore the full version I would look like an actual gladiator! Hahaha! I love those pretty pink ones with the tassels, though. Where'd you find those?
