Ok, here's the deal. I like to shop...a lot. So much so that I got myself into some credit card trouble. I attempted to hide the debt from my husband and failed miserably. I am now on a meager $75/week allowance. Seriously, he transfers it into my separate little account, which I immediately deplete. Needless to say, I have become pretty savvy when it comes to how I spend my precious winnings. I want the latest styles, for the lowest price tag. I have found some sweet deals on even sweeter summer sandals...check 'em out and share the wealth.

Whatever issue you have with gladiator sandals, you need to get over it. They are the number one summer look right now for your feet and will jazz up any tired old shorts and t-shirt routine. The trick is to find ones that are not too clunky (Ashley's are a little over the edge), and lay nice and flat on your ankle and foot. I like these myself...

Ankle cuffs can be tricky. But done right, the pay off is high. If the cuff is substantial, less leg should be shown like Rachel does to the right. If the cuff is minimal, feel free to bare all in shorts or a cute dress. Here are a few I found on Amazon but Piperlime is also a good site for this particular style.

Shoes with African or Tribal beaded details are "so hot right now". Sandals are no exception. Although we all can't afford the Jimmy Choo's Vanessa dons above, we can find some just as good. Well, at least that's what we tell ourselves. No really, these are quite fab. 

The great debate. Is fringe in...or out. I say in. It's fun, it's still sighted on celebs (like Reese above), and I feel like an Indian Brave when I wear it, yay! Again, just like all the other styles, it's important to know when enough is enough. You don't want to be spooking your dog every time you walk by. These styles have just the right amount dangle...wait for me, Tiger Lily!

Well, that's all I have for now. Please feel free to comment or add your own great finds. Thanks!
