Hey lovas, I know its been a while and I promise not to abandon you again. I love this - talking about shoes, looking at shoes, and more importantly buying shoes. As you all may or may not know, I moved to LA and in the mist of trying to get adjusted decided it just wasn't for me and now I'm back in the NYSizzle and ready to get ish poppin' again. Anywhot, enough of that crap. 

There are so many scrumptious sandal options to choose from for this spring and summer, but I am personally all over the 'jesus be cools' as I like to call them AKA Birkenstocks or slide-ons. Now we all know this style has been done and done and done again. In fact, most of us rock these sandals back in JHS, but I can never get enough. 

Ranging from breaking open the piggy bank to ATM friendly, here are a few that I want to add to my spring #shoecollection. Enjoy. 

Flower chid Ash slides. Available at Bergdorf Goodman for $175.

The classics - Birkenstock Arizona. Available here for $129.

You can never go wrong with Sophia Webster - EVER. Available at Bergdorf Goodman $375.

Dolce Vita does a chic 'wear every day' version in black and nude. Available here $105.

For the budget fashionista stop by Nine West and snatch up two pair one in gold and one in silver. Available here $69.

My favorite pair of them all, up and coming shoe designer Minna Parikka, better known for their bunny ear sneakers, has this fun, flirtatious pair that I most certainly need STAT. Available here $421.

Summer Lovin'

So lovas, if you haven't made time to check-out the summer shoe sales I encourage you to get to it. Unfortunately, no but really, I've hit up at least 4 sales in less than a two week timeframe - talk about obsessed!

First, I hit up Saks Fifth Avenue in New Orleans, LA while on a work trip and purchased these lovely Loubies:

Then, on a sleepless night (while still in New Orleans), I completely lost it on barneyswarehouse.com and purchased THREE pairs of shoes, yes THREE - but I must say dolls they were all an additional 50% OFF and my total was still less than ONE pair: 

 Isabel Marant - #Divine these are still EH-VERY-THANG. I can't wait for fall.
