It’s warming up here in North Carolina, and I’m already pining after some new sandals to pair with my jeans and — hopefully soon — my favorite swimsuits.

For me, comfort is key. My feet hurt without shoes, so I love wearing sandals around the house. A comfy pair of slides is always going to be a go-to for me!

I’m seeing some fun sandal trends toward minimalism with just a simple T-strap or ties. This style gives off that light and airy Mediterranean coast feel. Strappy leather sandals are so fresh with the clean lines.

I’m also loving some blingy hardware on sandals with weighty buckles and horse-bits that feel very old-world, yet the chunky soles make them feel up-to-date. Just a little bit edgy in a fun way.

You can’t go wrong with any of the picks in this round-up. I have my eye on these gold lace-up sandals and these platform sandals from Madewell for this spring!

looking for inspiration? 

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
