I became obsessed with the Tibi Amber Heel (in every color combination available) due to its elegance, but more importantly the ankle strap. I absolutely love how the ankle strap doubled (which gave it a little extra weight), while it perfectly sat on the ankle the way a bracelet sits on one's wrist. The effect is refreshing and a little sexy.
I love the idea of wearing these heels with a gorgeous pair of lace shorts...
I kept thinking and daydreaming about the ankle-wrap. I love the freshness of the look. It is also a great way to add a little edge, but is still very feminine. I am now wholeheartedly obsessed with this style. As with all of my loves, I had to start scouring the interenet to see what was out there...
There is the flat ankle-wrap... the Cole Haan Kimry Sandal. I love the python print! One, its fun. And, two, it is versatile and nudeish (i.e. it won't make your legs look stumpy!).
These be so cute with a short summer dress...
I also fell in love with these J.litvack York Sandals. They are a bit more delicate, yet still have some weight (which helps with keeping them look very current) and give you a little lift with a one inch wedge.
I love the idea of wearing them with either a midi length or asymmetrical hem...
And then you have the Madewell Whistlestop Sandal. I have personally tried these on and love them! They are the perfect everyday sandal to give your flip flops a much needed break!
These sandals would look great with everything. However, if I were going to wear them as an everyday sandal, they would be the perfect complement to a bright pair of shorts...
Ankle-wrap sandals are a definite must have this summer. There has been quite a sandal drought for some time (hence the heavy reliance on the flip flop), but this summer sandals are back with a bang. These are just some of my personal faves. I guarantee that the right one is out there waiting for you!
