HiLo: Viva La Vivienne

What is it about the Jimmy Choos pictured left that landed them on Saks Fifth Avenue's top picks for 2010? Luxe metallic sheen? Check. Cute cuttout details? Check. Flattering fit for a functional flat? Check, check, and check. Waterproof? No way.

While you are dropping over $300 on Italian leather with the Jimmy Choos, doesn't it make sense that a summer shoe should be amphious? If you wouldn't wear it to the beach, why bother adding it to your summer ensemble, especially when you can get the wave-resistant Vivienne Westwood Marine Jelly for 1/5 of the price.

Staff Pick: Jelly Roll

Most girls remember with those classic little jelly sandals. And now that those girls have grown up their jellies have too!

The staff pick for this week goes to Customer Service Minx Lindsey, who has taken a shine to our new Ultragirl Jelly Flat. Apart from the cute and surprisingly comfortable style, the subtle tortoise shell print is elegant and easy to match with nearly anything.

Lindsey loves these Westwood Jellies for their sentimental value and their forgiving fit. She plans on pairing them with our 7 for all Mankind Josefina Boyfriend Jean in Vintage California and the sly shirt in white by Bailey 44.
