Fancy Feet: Women’s Sandal Deal
Kate Spade has been making great shoes for women for quite some time now. Whether they are ballet flats, heels, or sandals–the Kate Spade look is unique. Known for her simple and chic handbags which stirred up quite a frenzy a few years back, the designer has spread her wings and created much more than just handbags now. The New York based Spade creates everything from baby gear, to clothing, to household items. The ongoing theme or concept behind her designs seems to be a classic all-American aesthetic. Think 1950’s-60’s retro chic, except modern day with a new twist. These sandals I picked today are a perfect example of Spade’s ability to bring both worlds together…

I picked these because they look like something out of the ordinary, and aren’t too bad of a price for such a classy sandal. The coral and turquoise color combination is really nice together and the large, vintage inspired jewel on top is really unique. These sandals have that retro feel with that big floral jewel, but yet remain chic and somewhat simple at the same time. I picture these on a pair of pedicure perfect feet and some sort of large sunhat on top. Although this isn’t something I’d normally pick for myself, I was drawn to them nonetheless because of their striking color and detail. I would take these on vacation somewhere and wear them to an outside lunch by the pool, because after all they do look quite glamorous! Sandals with low heels like these usually wear well with cropped pants, skirts, or dresses. Unsure as of whether I would wear these with jeans. Depending on how and what you pair them with, the look could swing either way…preppy, or funky. I would go for a more funky look with these and wear them with dress that was probably bright but not too loud. In her clothing design, Kate Spade sticks to cute shift dresses that are simple and retro looking, in her most recent designs, she was inspired by Mexican Folk Art…hence the name of the sandals “Freda”, although the real Frida’s name is spelled differently. Here is a classic Kate Spade dress that would work perfectly with these sandals…
