Merde. It's Monday and I lost my post just now to the ether. No idea what just happened, but will try to put the pieces together for you...here's the jist:
I was talking about my bitch of a root canal, and how all weekend foudn me in pain and reaching for the Vicodin. Some of you may enjoy that, but for me, it was nausea city and a lot of crankiness. But 3 days and a few doses of antibiotic later, I'm feeling better and ready to face the week. And with the clocks moving forward, we've all got a little extra daylight to contend with, which also means warmer days on the horizon, and the need for some new shoes.
One of my favorite things about living in MIami is a sort of 24/7/365 ability to wear flip flops. Don't get me wrong- I still love wearing boots but nothing makes me happier than wearing next to nothing on my feet- if I could be barefoot all the time, I would. I love a flip flop because at any given moment, you can pop onto a patch of grass, take your shoes off, and graze your toes along the blades for a bit of grounding. In the warm months, I don't take my flips off, for anybody.
The award for the most perfect flip flop is the J. Crew capri sandal. Just shy of $50, it's a lovely little sandal that you will surely wear as an essential- love the thin thong which makes it feel more dressed up, a bit sexier, and decidedly more glam. You can wear these with just about anything, but your best accessory will be some bare tan legs. They are that perfect in that easy, breezy summer way. So get thee a razor, some exfoliator, and a pedicure stat. And while you're at it, buy a pair of these suckers. It's time. And not a moment too soon, from what I hear from my friends up North.
Also on my hit list for spring/summer feet are two nail colors that I've been digging- OPI's San Tantonio, the loveliest beigy neutral you've ever seen, and Essie's Neo Whimsical, the sweetest pink whisper that your toes have ever encountered (both pictured here)
Go on to J. Crew and buy a pair of these...they come in many flavors- I myself always buy a gold pair and one in black, natch. Also loving the luggage leather/natural pair they're featuring this year- lots to choose from. Hope you have a lovely week with thoughts of bare toes and sunshine. Cause that's what's up this tiptoe of a Monday in the MIA. XO
