Sandals!

It’s been a while since we’ve received repost worthy content from WhoWhatWearDaily.

Our favorite? We’re loving the Wysh Sandal by Steve Madden (pictured left).

Take a look and read at their favorite sandals below:

“As you may have noticed, today’s splendid picks are all of the flat variation. And while we die for killer heels, we also think investing in planar pairs is just as life-affirming. Like a blazer or a top knot, these low-rise styles are a good way to incorporate some quick and easy polish into your look. ”

1. Matiko Lace-Up Bootie ($148)
2. Steve Madden Wysh Sandal ($80)
3. Mogil Coeur Shoe ($198)
4. Dolce Vita Hampton Sandal ($143)

Take a read at what ideeli has to say about all this:

“French Fetish

Paris, the City of Lights, also happens to be the mecca of fashion. And perhaps no other city rivals its history and reputation when it comes to turning out unabashedly sexy, undeniably sophisticated accessories. Just take the legacy of Christian Louboutin for example. Raised in the heart of Paris, Louboutin’s first inspiration hit him at the tender age of twelve, when he spotted a drawing of a sharp-heeled woman’s shoe in the African and Oceanic Art Museum.

Fueled by this passion, Louboutin went on to train at the iconic French houses of Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent before founding his own self-titled label and boutique in Paris in 1992. His aesthetic lies in that slender space between sex kitten and lady-who-lunches. With an ambitious vision and a sharp eye for detail, Louboutin creates shoes and handbags that remind us that fashion should be fun and that a slight fetish for French design can make a sultry impact on your style.”
