Summer Shoe Roundup
Jeffrey Campbell Jelly Slides
+ These were a new style last summer, but they already brought back new colors this year yay! They are such a classic silhouette with an ode to the early 2000’s. The jelly shoe brings me back to my childhood, but the platform look elevates it a little bit. They are extremely comfortable, easy to walk in, and easy to clean. They come in several colors including nude and black.
Golden Goose Platform Sneakers
+ Although Golden Goose sneakers are a huge splurge, and I know they’re not everyone’s favorite style of sneaker, I recently have fallen in love with a specific style. I love that they have a slight platform, they are overall really neutral (aside from the sparkly star), and they are worn-in looking without looking worn down. I am a 7 1/2 and I bought a 38, they run true to size and break in really quickly.
UGG Platform Sandals
+ I just love the hot pink strap on these UGG slides, and you know my appreciation for all things UGG shoes haha. These have a 2 inch platform so they are a flat sole, easy to walk in, and the straps are adjustable. Straps are really soft leather so they don’t dig in at all. The shoes overall are really comfortable for how tall they are! Sporty but also versatile for athleisure, or even worn with jeans.
Neon Orange Nike Dunks
+ Of course I had to add another pair of sneakers in the mix! These orange neon Nike dunks were an item I purchased last summer but they will be making their way into my summer wardrobe for the foreseeable future. I bought these off of StockX, which is like a resell site for shoes and designer items. You pay a different price per shoe size, depending on how high in demand the item is. These sneaks run true to size. I LOVE the pop of color, they are so vibrant in person.
Free People Flip Flops
+ You can’t go wrong with a classic player pair of flip-flops, and this leather pair from Free People is stylish and simple. I would say size up if you’re in between sizes because they do run a little bit snug. Leather tends to be snug before it stretches out overtime, so that is common.
Amazon Platform Thong Sandal
+ One of my favorite Amazon purchases ever! These nude platform sandals remind me of a flip-flop/thong style but super elevated. They have all of the details of what’s trending right now, but at a fraction of the price. I believe they’re $40. Extremely comfortable and true to size as well.
Purple Platform Heels
+ I recently bought these purple shoes for a baby shower, and I just love the overall look and vibe of them. A really comfortable platform sandal with a thoughtful strap across the front, it does not dig in at all. If you’re someone who’s looking for comfort and style this is a really great shoe. Of course it comes in nude and black as well.
Gucci Slides
+ And we know how much I love these Gucci slides.. since I clearly cannot stop wearing them every day with any outfit haha! They are a huge splurge and I totally understand that they also are not everyone’s style. I have been eyeing them since last Spring and I’m super happy I purchase them this year. I feel like I get a ton of wear out of them; with dresses, jeans, cargo pants, even as leisurewear. They are the most comfortable pair of shoes. You can tell how worn they already are after only having them for a month. I know I am going to get so much wear from them!
