When the temperature hits 80 degrees, I think it’s time to pop out the sandals- don’t you agree? We’ve had a little taste of the coming summer yesterday and today, which has made me realize that I need to get my sandal situation in order. The black pair that I wore regularly last summer are not quite as fresh as they used to be, so I’d like to get a new pair of everyday sandals.
I’ve been seeing a lot of variations of the low-heeled sandal this spring. I like that they’re slightly elevated- to me it seems like a more grown-up version of your typical sandal. You guys know that I generally wear flat shoes, but I can do a little heel as long as it’s nearly as comfortable as wearing a flat. I think it’s time for me to put this trend to the test to see if I can find a comfy pair!
Tell me: Would you wear sandals like these?

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

I love sandals with a bit of a heel so your feet don’t catch all the dirt on the ground. I love all those shoes in the last row!
Sincerely,
Sabrina
That’s a good point about keeping your feet from the dirt- I hadn’t really thought of that!
I was just thinking this weekend and that I wanted to get a pair of sandals just like this!

Great minds think alike :)
I think a little bit of heel can still be comfortable and it definitely lends more of a sophisticated look. Loving the blush pair!
Rowena @ rolala loves
I totally agree- love the added sophistication!
I love these! I’ve been going for low heels these days, esp with sandals! Love this post, such great summer styles :) Happy monday!
I saw the pair of mid-heels you posted on your Instagram a couple weeks back and I love them. Actually, scrolling through your Instagram now you have so many pretty shoes!
aw thanks so much!! I just did a major wipe of my instagram photos, some of the old ones made me cringe and it feels nice to start over!! can never have enough shoes :)
Yes to low-heeled sandals! They are very comfy and stylish. I love number 2 and 8 ;)
love how these look. I’m on a “hunt” to revamp the sandal collection I currently own. =D

Thanks Megan :)
I find having a little heel can be more comfortable than the sandals that are completely flat on the ground. the neutral color block looks so sophisticated.

Good point! I have really flat feet so I can’t do sandals that are completely flat either.
I almost always have a heel on, but I love the option of a sandal w a slight heel! Definitely need some.
I’m the opposite! I rarely wear heels because I do lots of walking in the city, but I think I might be able to manage a slight heel :)
I’m actually really into the black ones on the right of the title graphic. I just need to overhaul my whole wardrobe…I have so many clothes that either don’t fit me or I never wear them anymore.
I need to do a bit of a spring clean too. I definitely have stuff that I need to donate/give away!
These are cute styles. I’m a fan of unique sandals, because I like various heights. The top two styles are my favourite.

OMG. YOU, lady, and I are on the same page all the time! I’m obsessed with low stacked heel and I actually have #3 from Sam Edelman…but now you’ve got me looking at #5…eek, I think I might get it…. :)
Love that we’re on the same page and love the pair you have! I’m really digging the blush, gold, and black lasercut ones that I posted. Ahhhh, it’s hard to to buy them all! :D
What a great collection of sandals. I am on the tall side, 5’11, so I usually shy away from high heels so low heeled sandals are perfect for me. Ohh I love #3, the brown sam edelman ones!
Thanks Nan! I’m only 5’3″ so I could use the little extra bit of height from the low heel :)
