While I’ve definitely been wearing my rain boots more than anything else these past couple of weeks, that’s no reason to be discouraged when it comes to shopping for trendy warmer-weather fare. In fact, there’s nothing like a little summery shopping to kick those rainy day blues and help look forward to sunnier afternoons and beach days! Lately I’ve had my eye on the perfect new pair of sandals, and this upcoming summer season, tribal-inspired accessories and footwear are taking over from where gladiator styles left off! A little bohemian but with just the right dash of glitz, beaded sandals have the unique ability to come off earthy and dressed-down (in a casual-cool way) but still stylish and feminine. Add a little embellishment to a strappy style, or go for a seriously intricate beaded pair like these from Ash, which are perfect under a flowy maxi dress!
