Lizzie Lou's Crystal Flip Flops

Filed under: Shoes

Summer is in full swing and although in some stores fall shoes are already starting to make an appearance in my opinion it's never too late to buy a great new pair of sandals. I tend to wear flip flops anywhere and everywhere that they're even remotely socially acceptable, which means I have a closet full of them and am always on the lookout for new cute designs. These handmade versions by Lizzie Lou Shoes are on the upscale side of the flip flop family tree, featuring comfy EVA soles, real leather straps, and lots of pretty Swarovski crystal and semi-precious stone embellishments. Prices range from $107-$123/pair.

And if you missed them before, we covered these other Swarovski flip flops earlier this month.

Swarovski Crystal Embellished Flip Flops - Small Splurge

You can buy simple, classic flip flops anywhere these days, from Target, to Kmart, to mall stores. But wouldn't you rather have Swarovski crystals on your flip flops? If you think yes, and are willing to spend a bit to make it what we like to call a small splurge, you need Deborah Evans's crystal embellished footwear.

Evans has blinged up three lines, using Havaianas from Brazil as the base: Resort, a 3/4-inch soled sandal available in 13 colors ($130); Metallic, a 3/4-inch soled sandal available in 5 colors ($98); and High Wedge, a 2-1/2-inch wedge sandal available in 4 colors ($185). These come in basic colors like black, brown and white.

For more pizzazz, you need the D-Street line, which is made from Evans's own line of rubber sandals, but still has the crystals and comes in 2 styles: the Street, a 3/4-inch soled sandal available in 15 fun colors/patterns, including animal prints ($120); and the Mini-Wedge, 1-1/2-inch soled sandal available in 15 even brighter colors, but luckily still in animal prints ($150).

Mystique Turquoise Stone Thongs

I can totally justify spending nearly $200 on flip flops when they are this cute! These are the must have thongs for summer, perfect for dressing up any breezy sundress or bikini cover up. They feature faux turquoise stones, varying in size and shape, set on shiny gold metallic straps. All that dazzle is offset by subdued brown suede, and a simple 1/4" wooden heel. Don't you hate how some flip flops hurt more than than high heels? Not these! I tried them on and they are super comfy! Available online, for $175.

Have Fun, Sit Pretty, and Be Green on the Miss Gana Ottoman

Filed under: Decor

This seat made me smile the minute I saw it because it looks like something out of a Jim Henson movie. It's the Miss Gana Ottoman, and not only does it look fun to sit on but it's good for the environment too. Made completely of overstocked flip flop sandals (unworn, of course!) in a way that doesn't require further manufacturing, it's firm to sit on (even though it looks like a bean bag chair) and can be used indoors or out, although it may fade a little outside. Designed by Karen Wittmann Wilsmann, it's available in limited edition, measures 14"Hx24"Wx24"D, and costs $250.
