I had a pair of Aldo espadrilles I bought last summer that I took to Vegas and intended to take on our honeymoon, but... let's just say that, after a tipsy poolside red-slushy-punch-spill fiasco, "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," and sometimes just ends up in your hotel trash can. Jute fiber doesn't take red food dye very well. :(
Needless to say, I needed a new pair of espadrilles. Once again, I would love my readers' opinions... this time on shoes. Zappos has some great last-summer strappy shoes on sale right now, and I jumped all over these Kate Spade espadrilles this week. I think they will be great for "resort-wear," paired with casual dresses and white pants, a nice shoe to wear to dinners out.
Honestly though, I can't help thinking this is something Camille Grammar would wear in her Malibu Barbie mansion. (Maybe I've just been watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills a little too much?...) But seriously, do you get the Malibu Barbie vibe? I think they'll probably be fine, but I always hesitate when there are gold accents on these kinds of things.
What do you think? Does anyone own these shoes?

I'm completely on the lookout for wedge espadrilles:).

In my haste to laugh with Gigi, I forgot to say have a wonderful trip!

Haha! Thanks ladies. I rocked them! They were fairly comfortable for being so high; I think the ankle straps helped keep them in place so my feet could stay relaxed.
mommydearest, that bikini is by vix:

They have a one-piece in that same blue color, although it's pretty racy. They have a couple cute black bikinis that offer more coverage. I suggest you check out their website. :)
welcome, joAnn! I am going to work on incorporating more "local" topics into my blog this year. :) I have a review of 25 Lusk on deck...
