Spring/Summer Fling: Gucci Sandals

The $10 flip flops you purchased at H&M during your last trip to the beach won't impress the boys at your next Fire Island beach bonfire or Hamptons social. Let's just say they are more flop that flip.

It's time for an upgrade, so pick up a pair of Gucci's luxurious sandals. The red and white stripe, ankle strap and suede give these a nautical and sporty look. Instead of flip-flopping all around, the ankle strap keeps your sandals secure. Take pleasure in knowing that your sandals won't fly off your feet whether you're building Barbie's Dream House out of sand or just chasing a handsome suitor down the beach.

Just make sure you get a pedicure before you wear them, and please, leave the socks at home.
