Warm weather, beach sand and water sports call for summer sandals! But anyone who knows me is aware that I have an intense hatred of flip-flops. With SO MANY cute, trendy and flattering sandal styles on the market, WHY would you leave your house in a weird piece of rubber that gets the bottoms of your feet dirty and makes annoying sounds when you walk?

If you’re like me and you like to mix a little fashion in with your function, check out Plaka Sandals. These beautiful sandals are hand-woven with high-quality ingredients (and packaged in reusable 100% cotton bags).

Plaka offers three different styles: Seashell, Palm Leaf and Gladiator.

I’m absolutely obsessed with my Palm Leaf sandals in beige! They go with absolutely everything. Recently, I paired them with this bold geometric dress and bright blue and silver bangle. The natural, neutral style of the shoes were the perfect compliment to my bold outfit.

The most surprising thing about Plaka sandals is how comfortable they are! The sandals are just rope. I was highly skeptical that they would even fit right – how can a rope stretch perfectly? Yet somehow it does, with a snug but not-too-tight fit. And the soles are super soft, giving me cushioned support when I walk.

I also got these bold denim gladiator sandals – I can’t wait to give them a try!
