What We're Loving: Espadrilles!

It's time to get rid of the flip flops and flats, girls.  Going out with friends? On a date? Or do you simply need a cute accessory to tie your look together?  Espadrilles are what we’re loving right now!  This cute shoe is perfect for every outfit and every occasion.
Espadrilles have been around since the 14th century and continue to be one of the hottest looks out there.  The word espadrille comes from the Catalan name for a tough Mediterranean grass used for making rope.  The outsole of the wedge is woven, which is perfect for a summery look.  Original espadrilles were made with laces to tie up the ankle for support.  This adds to the sexy lace up look that we often see in Tory Burch’s collections. 
This look has been sported around Hollywood by some of our favorite stars,  including Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston, and even Katie Holmes.  If you're wondering what to pair these adorable shoes with, we've got some tips! Wear your espadrilles with a printed airy dress for a Bohemian look, or throw on your favorite flowy top with a pair of shorts for a cute, laid-back look.  Perfect for a night out with the girls!

The best part about this shoe is that it is made by practically all designers and can always be found for less! Some places to find this hot look for Summer 2010 for less are T.J Maxx, Forever 21, Marshalls, DSW, Kohl’s and Target.  Looking to spend a little more? This shoe is also made by Tory Burch, Jessica Simpson, Steve Madden, etc.
