The ‘Sabra’ Baby Phat Wedge Sandals are reasonably priced and are a great Summer shoe that’s sure to turn heads.   These wedge sandals have a python-print textured leather upper with a wrapped 3-1/2 inch wedge heel and 1 inch platform.  A thick metallic and patent t-strap runs across the vamp and rhinestones adorn the  logo medallion at the center.   I usually do not like large logos but this one is small and adds a certain charm to this sandal.  Pictured above in black, these sandals are also available in brown or orange python-print leather.   Baby Phat “Sabra” wedge sandals are available at zappos.com.

Baby Phat is the vision of model, Kimora Lee Simmons and, since it’s start in 1998, it has become a thriving fashion brand that includes fabulous collections of women’s clothing, handbags, and shoes.  The Baby Phat shoe collection is full of flirty, glitzy, glamorous and chic pumps, peep toes, slingbacks, boots and sandals for every occasion.  A wide selection of Baby Phat shoes can be viewed here.

The official start of Summer is this weekend and, if you haven’t done so already, it’s a great time to don your favorite sandals and show off that pedicure!   With the warm weather months ahead, Summer sandals are in abundance and there are some amazing styles to choose from… including the ever-so-popular gladiator style, classic t-straps, and embellished thongs in shiny metallics.

Comfort and style should be equally important for your Summer activities and, with the current selection of sandals, you should not have any problems finding both.   Instead of wearing flip-flops, try wearing some strappy flat sandals. Strappy flat sandals are the perfect Summer shoe and will add style to your casual wardrobe this Summer.  They come in a variety of styles and go well with everything, including jeans, capris, dresses, and shorts.

Here are my picks for strappy flat sandals:

The Corso Como Fidda strappy flat sandal features buttery soft leather with stitching accents, silver hardware for the adjustable ankle strap, and a padded footbed for comfort. You can get the Fidda Sandal at Heels.com.  Also available in bone or red from zappos.com .

I love the ankle strap on this sandal by Charles by Charles David.  Shown here in bronze, this sandal is also available in black and other metallics including gold, silver, and pewter. The Charles By Charles David Hip Sandal is available at Endless.com

The wide leather straps give this gladiator-inspired sandal rugged look.  The synthetic sole provides traction when walking.  Get additonal information regaridng the Franco Sarto Montana sandal at Online Shoes.
