Cupcakes and Cashmere

When in Rome

July 8th, 2008

My love of gladiator sandals knows no limits, which is why I bitterly await the moment when magazines decide they’re “so last season.” Until that point, I keep all of my pairs in constant rotation, especially my Infinity Sandals, from Urban Outfitters. The tiny studs along the top and the zipper that runs down the heel add a bit of edge, but the nude color tones them down nicely. While most of my gladiator sandals scream for attention, I like how I can wear these with a busy dress (like this Trina Turk) and they won’t steal the show.

    Sadly, I’ll probably be getting my first pair of gladiators when they’re no longer trendy lol! I’ve been looking for a nice pair where I live for such a long time but all I’ve found is cheap looking patent sandals, none of which are even in my size!

    Yours look really great and I love the dress you’re wearing!

    I hear you…I had a pair of glads, almost exactly like these – complete with the zipper up the back back in the late 80s and wore them to they literally fell apart. I was depressed for days. Needless to say I will ride this trend out to the bitter end.

    And your dress, btw, is so sweet – you look totally gorgeous!

    I love gladiators too, have always work them until this year – I can’t bear the trend element of it, I don’t know why I’ve reacted against it. Probably because they were my thing and no on elese wore them.
    Your urban outfitters ones are gorgeous. Love the zip detial at back.
