ISO Palm Tree Sandals

Venus Palm Tree Heels

 

My favorite thing about Florida is the palm trees. They fill the landscape, my garden and my home. I also have a great pair of palm tree earrings. The palm tree shoes above are a collaboration of Frances Valentine with J.McLaughlin. I would love to add a pair of palm tree sandals to my wardrobe.

Waterproof Jacks

Jackie Kennedy

If you are like me, life would not be complete without Jack, more specifically Jack Rogers sandals, my go to shoe here in Florida. They are chic, comfortable, and colorful, and look great with caftans. 

 Jack Rogers shoes had an inspired beginning on the isle of Capri in the early 60s. It was the heyday of the international jet set, a swirl of famous faces and names, lounging poolside in colorful caftans, wearing sherbet shades against the Mediterranean backdrop. Chic as it was, one person stood out as the most vibrant of all: Jackie Kennedy. The First Lady, known for her impeccable style, never looked better than when she was off-duty—with her innate charisma, she had a way of making simple pieces look absolutely sublime.

The Midas Touch

I am a huge fan of gold accessories for a luxe touch, especially for evenings out. This darling bag is just the ticket.

Black Patent Leather

Tory Burch Black Patent Leather Continental Wallet

The other day I realized how silly it is to still be carrying a zillion credit cards for stores that don't even exist here. So I stripped my wallet down to the essentials and am left with a Continental style wallet that is way too large now. It is a discontinued black patent leather Tory Burch that I love shown above. BTW, Tory Burch is having their Semi-Annual Sale with an additional 25% off sale items, so I will see what I can find.
