Get The Look: Grecian (Summer 2010 Shoe Trends)

Get the Grecian look with Shoeline.com!

Shoeline.com Insider Style Guide gives you everything you need to create the essential looks of the season. One look that we’re loving this season is the Grecian style. Asymmetrical dresses with sweeping lines, bold accessories and gladiator sandals make for a gorgeous summer outfit.

Here are our favorite Grecian style sandals:

Softspots Caylee : Metall - Womens

Softspots Caylee

The gorgeous Softspots Caylee (shown in Metall) is so pretty, not to mention super comfortable. I’ve worn these twice this week and I got compliments both times! They are so soft and comfortable I can’t even believe it. The straps are soft, the footbed is soft, and the wedge is the perfect height. I could almost run in these (if I wasn’t pregnant…).

I highly recommend these if you are looking for a comfortable pair of sandals that will last all summer long and go with almost all of your outfits.

Price: $76.95

Have You Tried… Natural Sunscreen?

I hate filling my pores with nasty chemicals, but until now, I didn’t know that I had any options when it came to sunscreen. After all, you need to protect yourself from UV rays, right?!?

Well, it looks like I’ve been proven wrong, because you can get great coverage from the sun without hard chemicals and fillers!

Today at 12pm EST, Jasmere will be featuring a natural sunblock from Vive Sana:

With no fillers whatsoever, the product is rich and creamy – so a little goes a long way. Though water resistant, Vive Sana contains no water- a primary ingredient in many other sun protection products. You won’t be surprised to learn that water plays no role in sun protection, it’s just a way for other companies to, yes, water down the product and save themselves money.

If you spend a lot of time out in the sun (or you’re like me, and you live super close to it… thanks, Colorado!), this is one sale you won’t want to miss! Jasmere features sales that are influenced by “social shopping”… so the more people who buy, the lower the price goes, and your credit card doesn’t get charged until the sale has ended, so you pay the lowest price possible!

Get great deals at Jasmere today!

Hurry… this sale ends at 12pm EST tomorrow, so you don’t have much time.

Trend Alert: Ankle Cuff Sandals

One of the hottest trends we’re seeing on our favorite celebs is the ankle cuff sandal. These versatile shoes can easily be paired with everything from rompers to skinny jeans.

Most ankle cuff sandals appear to be made of a leather-like or suede material. Taupe and black seem to be the most popular colors, however you may chose to sport a bright pair like the BCBGirls Women’s Porto Ankle Cuff Flat Sandals.

In a survey I conducted within a group of friends and family, only 43% of women feel like they would be able to pull off this trend. For those of us who don’t strut on mile-long limbs, the concern may be that the cuff will create the illusion that our legs are short and stumpy. In that case, look for a cuff that is thin or braided. A thinner cuff will create less of a visual barrier between your feet and legs. Afraid that this trend is too bold for your feminine taste? Check out the Halo05 Rose Ankle Strap Flat Sandals on Amazon. The simple design is great for any outfit while the rose detail on the cuff adds a softer touch to this bold trend. For under $15, this is a great way to try this trend!

A great place to find a huge variety of ankle cuff sandals is zappos.com and Shoebuy.com. They have such a large variety that you’re sure to find something that fits both your sense of style and your budget! Browse around on both sites and let us know which ankle cuff sandals are your favorite!

How do you feel about the ankle cuff sandal? Do you own a pair or plan on purchasing some? Which styles do you like best?

Summer Beauty: Fun Beach Facts

We all do some fun and interesting things when it comes to getting ready for the beach. I know that many, MANY of these things are part of my regimen (including the mani/pedi prior to some hardcore beach time!), but Lands End collected some fun facts from a survey they did that might surprise you. Check them out!

Deep Sea Blue All Over Control Slender Demi - $89.50

  • Sizing Up Men – Women don’t believe men buy the wrong swimsuit size (67 percent).
  • In a Crunch – More than half of women (53 percent) do stomach crunches to get ready to wear a swimsuit.

  • Hands to Toes – When getting ready for swimsuit season two-thirds (66 percent) of women get a manicure and pedicure.
  • Take a Wild Guess – While 12 percent of survey respondents stated they “take a wild guess” at their swimsuit size, 47 percent base it on their bra or dress size.
  • Mixed Up – More than seven out of ten women have worn the wrong swim top or bottom size because they were not sold as mix-and-match separates.
  • How it Measures – Two-thirds (66 percent) of women have never taken their measurements with 43 percent stating they don’t know how to do so.
