because spring is in the air

These are my absolute favorite sandals for spring and summer!!  I bought mine the first year Jcrew sold them {in 2005}.  They must be a popular item because they have sold them every year since and they are part of their current spring line.


My first pair were a metallic grey, just slightly darker than the silver ones featured above.  I wear these sandals with literally everything.  I especially like them with jeans, skirts, and dresses.


I liked my grey ones so much I ended up getting a black pair as well a few years later.  And you know what I have barely ever worn them.  I feel like the grey/silver goes with so much more.  My original pair are starting to look a little worn so I am thinking about getting this silver pair as a replacement.

When I need a casual flip flop, for trips to the park and pool, I grab my Teva's.  I have been a Teva fan for years.  Their flip flops are hands down the most comfortable I have ever worn!  My favorite style is the Toolani, which is pictured above.  I have a pair that is very similar to these only the pattern on the straps is black and white.  I could seriously live in these shoes, I love them that much!!

Last summer I needed a brown pair of sandals and found this cute pair of Reef's at my local outfitters store downtown.  I was a little hesitant at first about getting them due to my love affair with Teva's but I went ahead and got them anyways.  And I'll tell you what, they are almost as comfortable as my Teva's.  I really like them and wear them all the time.

Are you noticing a trend with my favorite shoes?  They all have skinny straps!!  I love this style and feel like it looks the best on my feet.  

What are you favorite sandals?  Please do share!!
