Style Profile- The Flip Flop

Ah the flip flop. One of the most versatile, easy shoes in existence. They could be as simple as a rubber thong flip flop at $2 a pair, or intricately made in expensive leather with hand beading on the thong straps for well over $100. It is my opinion that no summer wardrobe is complete without this easy going shoe, and because of the wide ranges of styles, colors and materials used to make them they can perfectly fit into any budget. Here are a few of my favorites:

The basic, cheapo flip flop. The best price (outside of going to the dollar store) at $4.50 a pair, but on sale now for $3.50 a pair and available in 6 different colors.


The basic flip flop with a little twist. Straps are made of soft leather, wrapped around a metal ring and stitched to the insole. Outsole is made of EVA for extra comfort. Available in 3 different colors at zappos.com for $28.95

  This is a winner when it comes to comfort! Soft suede insole, straps lined with soft sheepskin combined with a super lightweight EVA outsole make this a great shoe, however due to the materials used is most likely not suitable for use around water. Found at zappos.com (can you tell this is my favorite store?) an available in 6 different colors. And although they are a little on the pricier side at $50 a pop, considering the materials used it's not that bad of a price. 
One of the fancier flips flops found at endless.com, these shoes are absolutely stunning! Available in 4 different colors, features a multi-layered bracelet style cuff, sequined thong straps and an easy zip in heel, these are definitely great for dressing up any outfit for summer! A splurge $99.95, but offered at endless.com for $74.96, which is still a decent chunk of change- but who can resist something so pretty?
