Maven Pick: Espadrilles

Hiya, lovelies. It's Friday in the city and I'm already wondering how much traffic I'm going to endure on the way to LGA today...summer Fridays and Hamptonites and such...naturally, I wish I was headed out East as well- Montauk would be ideal- very in the mood.

And as all moods lead to Summer, I'm simply obsessed with fashion's current fixation with espadrilles, the perfect summer shoe. I'm not super sold on them on men, but there are those amongst you who can pull it off. For the lady set though, go for it. These little gems are super cute with all of your leggy looks- and at $28, you can't go wrong. I'm digging these from cute brand Soludos, whose espi design is based on those found in Meditteranean markets during the balmy months. One thing to note- don't wear these cute little guys in the rain- they don't like to get wet. Other than that, you're set. I am a fan of the pink seersucker ones pictured here...perfect for a clambake or a lazy summer Sunday in the city...and at that price, you may want to buy a spare pair to stick in your bag when those high heeled sandals start digging due to that humidity induced swell. Plus, they're a classic summer shoe that are chic no matter how you rock them. If they were good enough for Grace Kelly, JFK, and Picasso, surely they are good enough for you.

And that's what's up this Summer Friday in the Apple...all the love. On the way back to the MIA.Link to the 'drilles below. XO
