I have a love-hate relationship with flip flop sandals. In my humble opinion, they are perfectly appropriate for the beach and tropical getaways but not so cute on the subway or everyday city life - especially if your pedicure is not on point! However, there is a whole new breed of stylish flip flops that won't ruin the look of your little black dress. Check out these three fantastic styles.
FlipOut Jellies
$59.99
Buy one pair of FlipOut Jellies and get countless different looks. The sandals are available in three colors (pink, clear, and smoke) and each pair comes with two pairs of interchangeable shoe jewelry that can be attached for instant bling. FlipOut also makes a traditional flip flop style - those are $19.99 per pair. Shoe jewelry is $9.99-$24.99.
Lindsay Phillips SwitchFlops
$35-$54 for the shoes. Straps are $12-$15.
Designer Lindsay Phillips has REALLY created one shoe with infinite possibilities! Can you believe that all of the shoes pictured above are the exact same shoe? Yes, the shoe remains the same, only the strap has changed. Lindsay Phillips offers several shoe styles (flat and heels) that you can instantly modify to fit your mood or outfit by changing the strap - it securely attaches with velcro. Lindsay's genius idea started as a high school art project and she perfected her interchangeable design concept while she was a college student. She even spent a Semester at Sea which exposed her to a wide variety of cultures, colors, and patterns that inspired her strap designs. As Lindsay likes to say, "Change your look, not your sole."
Smushees by Grandoe
$35
Described as a travel pillow for your feet, Smushees feel just like they sound - cushy and comfy. I am wearing a pair as I write this and they are VERY soft. Each shoe is filled with polystyrene micro-beads that conform to all foot types and features a unique "Smush" foam footbed. Available in fun colors, Smushees are a great option for poolside lounging, spa days, or for walking around the airplane cabin on a long flight. Easy to care for - just machine wash Smushees on a gentle cycle and let them air dry.
