    10 Shoes That Won't Kill Your Feet As You Trek Around Campus

    Where I went to school, you could always tell who the freshmen were because they foolishly showed up to the first day of class in heels. They may have looked cute (especially before they packed on the dreaded Freshman 15, ha!) but we upperclassmen knew that by the end of the day they'd be heading to the nearest Walgreens for a family-size pack of band-aids to patch up their abused feet. On a giant campus full of hills and stairs, I learned the hard way that flats were the way to go -- and comfy ones at that. But just because I've had to leave my heels behind for the sake of blister-free soles doesn't mean I dared to give up my sense of shoe-style. You can still stay fashionable in leather peep-toe booties and snazzy sneakers without requiring a first-aid kit by the time you get to class. Check out my favorite selection of back-to-school shoes in the slideshow!

    Sequins Finally See The Light Of Day!

    Maybe I'm easily distracted, but I'm just naturally drawn to sparkle. All a shirt needs is to be bedazzled in sequins, twinkling at me from its hanger, and I'm instantly a sucker! So you can imagine my delight when I started noticing that the flashy sewn-on embellishments, once reserved for dressy nights out on the town and mermaid costumes, are becoming increasingly wearable for all hours of the day, showing up on summery dresses, floaty tunics, and even casual cropped vests. I guess someone finally came to their senses and realized that daytime is the time to get the most sparkle from their shiny sun-reflective surfaces! So don't worry about feeling like a disco ball -- indulge in your love of sparkle, whether just with a shimmery neckline or a fully sparkled sheath, and get your shine on all day long with some of my favorite pieces in the slideshow!

    Metallics are a perfect choice for casual summer wear and the opportunities for wearing them don't have to be excluded to your nights out on the town. Today's shiny metallics are doable for both day and evening. For example, I love this J. Crew metallic pleated cotton tank that's paired effortlessly with a pair of jean shorts. It just proves that you don't need sequins or silk to give a piece some shine! Switch things up by adding sheen to your shorts, like with a pair of these linen Bermuda shorts from J. Crew, or to your sandals with these flat metallic T-straps, also from J. Crew. Click over to Coquette for more summer fashion trends!

    Hot In The Hive: Isla Fisher's Embellished Sandals For Less!

    When your husband has an alter ego as uber-fabulous as Bruno, you better be spotted wearing only fashion design's elite from your head to your feet! As a result, Isla Fisher is rarely caught looking less than cute, even when she's keeping it super-casual on an outing with daughter Olive. While I'm sure Isla's version of "bumming it" on a sunny afternoon stroll is hardly bargain-friendly, you can snag her summery embellished sandals without having to sell off any of your appendages. MySpringShoes.com sells an indistinguishable strappy pair for just $39.99, which is more than affordable considering their versatility! They're both casual and comfy yet still dressy enough to wear out with their beaded and bejeweled straps and metallic detailing. If only I had known about this steal before I splurged on the style's more costly twins by Steve Madden!

    Price: $39.99
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Spring's Penticoff Sandals to the Hive.

    Summer Style Staple: Flat Embellished Sandals

    image
    Alex Gambardella on May 28, 2009 10:25 AM PDT
    While flip-flops have undoubtedly gone trendy in their existence as a warm weather necessity in footwear (ie: the endless array of fancified Havaianas and those trusty and sturdy Rainbows), sometimes plain ol' thong sandals can come off as too casual when it comes to making a statement, attending special occasions, or whenever simply donning your default slip-ons just won't do. We watched gladiator and platform sandals take hold of every fashionista's feet for kick-ass strappy style in the months prior, but now that June is nipping at our heels, flat sandals are getting jazzed up in the most creative ways to keep that element of dressed-up drama in a more comfortable, summer-friendly package that can be suitable for day and night. Chunky stones, chain straps, ruffles galore, and so much more -- these sandals aren't just for slipping on as an afterthought as you run out of the house for an emergency beat-the-heat smoothie. Embellished sandals are the perfect footwear for looking effortlessly put together and appropriately adorned from head to toe while still giving your feet room to breathe! You're on your own when it comes to avoiding the funky foot tan lines, however! Check the slideshow for some of this season's snazziest sandals!

    Hive 5: Flat Sandals That Make My Shorty-ness Less of an Issue

    I live life somewhere between my Havaianas and whichever pair of four-inch heels I feel like teetering around in on any given day. There's really no in-between for me. I attempted buying ballet flats on more than one occasion (really, I tried) but each time, I felt I'd be forking over the MasterCard and four inches of my soul (and at 5' 3", I don't have much to spare). That said, a pair of particularly pretty embellished flat sandals does catch my eye every so often, and they just might be the exception to my (admittedly insane) rule. And because you Stylehivers seem to know this better than I do, I've decided to let you do the shopping. Go see the SLIDESHOW for your best of the best!
