My go-to Sandals for Every Spring/Summer Event!
Beautiful weather is here and it's time for social butterflies to emerge from their cocoons. With a calendar full of events from weddings to baby showers, garden parties to graduations, it's important to have elegant yet comfortable footwear to carry you through all your spring celebrations.
If you've been reading here for any amount of time you'll know what a fan I am of Sarah Flint's incredible shoes. I've had the privilege to travel to Italy with Sarah to visit the family-owned factories where her beautiful shoes are made by hand, and capture the production process on camera. Visiting the factories is always a big reminder of just how special these shoes really are, created with the same exquisite materials and in the same workshops as luxury's top labels, but at a much better price.
If a pair or two have been on your summer wishlist it’s the perfect time to scoop up warm weather styles so you're ready for every warm weather event! I've rounded up four of my favorites I own and love below to get you started, and right now many of these styles are 25% off with code "BLOOM". Happy shopping!
Outfit details:
The Crossover Sandal
One of Sarah Flint's newest styles, the crossover sandal was created in response to customer requests for an uber-comfortable heel for slightly wider feet. Sarah was prototyping these sandals when I was in Italy with her last summer, and I love how they turned out so much I got them in both colors. These are the heels for women who think they've given up on wearing heels, whether that's because you're running after a toddler, or have more mature feet. My feet are normal width, but I brought these to Newport and can attest that they are insanely comfortable while also looking so chic! I love the vintage vibe of the peep toe, the v-shape that elongates your leg and sturdy 50mm block heel. They make your legs look AND feel fabulous! (Not a part of the BLOOM sale, but many of you have asked for a recommendation for this type of heel so I have to say they're worth it nonetheless!)
Mirjana Wedge
Currently 25% off with code "BLOOM"!
The Mirjana Wedge is even more comfortable than the original slide (which I also own and love!) Before trying these wedges I thought platforms just weren’t for me. I’m 5’9″ and in most heels I’m 6′ and always thought platforms just felt so clunky in contrast to their stiletto equivalent, but leave it to Sarah Flint to create the chicest platform of all time. Consider me a convert! I found these true to size, and love that you have the choice between two platform heights - 50mm and 80mm! (The 50mm is the more popular height and comes in white or cognac, but I have the 80mm!)
The Perfect Block Sandal
Currently 25% off with code "BLOOM"!
The perfect block sandal is a wardrobe workhorse especially in the warmer months. While it comes in three heel heights (30mm, 60mm and 90mm) I particularly love the 60mm heel version which I own in maaaaaany colors. (Gold, white, black suede, and two discontinued croc finishes!) This sandal has a comfortable wear-all-day heel which is perfect for all your spring and summer events, from backyard BBQs to graduations, date nights to black tie weddings. I promise it will be your go-to especially for outdoor events as the heel is thick enough so you can walk through grass without sinking in. You can stand all day and dance all night in these fabulous heels. If you’re on vacation and trying to pack light, these shoes will go with all of your dressier looks as the photos above demonstrate. I've worn these heels from Harbour Island to Italy to New England! The simple lines complement almost any dress and I've found that the gold is the most versatile color followed closely by the white for summer outfits. The perfect block heel run true to size and are soooooo good you will want one in every color!
The Slingback Flat
We love to host dinner parties at our place and I find that a slingback flat is the ultimate hosting shoe - super comfortable even if you've been on your feet all day prepping, and allows you to glide from room to room refreshing drinks and taking care of guests effortlessly. Plus, the pointed toe works beautifully with dresses or cropped trousers, elongating your legs without the fuss of heels. I love the Natalie Sling (25% off with "BLOOM") which has an angled bow on the toe and the new Stella Sling which is minimalist with a chic square buckle on the side. The floral pair I'm wearing above are from a limited edition collection with Gracie a few seasons ago, but you can find all my current favorites below!
