Our daily visit to the pet store to visit Peachy the guinea pigĬonnor is a little obsessed with a tan and white female guinea pig currently residing there named “Peaches.” I keep telling Connor that one day we’re going to go in and Peaches will be gone, because she’ll have found her forever home… I think Connor is not-so-secretly hoping we’ll adopt her. We’ve been going to Petco every day this week because Connor recently made a guinea pig friend. I tried on the taupe and liked how they looked and felt, but I didn’t pull the trigger! Now I’m thinking about the black and beige pair because I could wear them with so many things, and they actually looked quite chic.Īnywho, I’m going to keep looking, and I’ll let you know if I find anything good! Pet store visits

They look a little inexpensive when you see them just sitting there because of the material, but they look higher end on your feet. I’ve never in my life been a Crocs person, but I was kinda moved by these platforms. Again, love this in theory, but dang… I’m going to get those dirty in a hot second.

Some of the espadrilles also had the same white base I saw from the Franco Sarto pair I tried on. I saw a lot of these espadrille flats with a platform base too. My Sous Chef also wasn’t a fan… Sous Chef says, “No thank you!” Second big trend: espadrille flat platform sandals So, even though I liked them in theory, I didn’t bring them home. I’m CRAZY picky when it comes to shoes now (one of the unexpected side effects of the pandemic!), and if a shoe is even just a touch “off” from the get-go, I know I’m not going to wear them. While I love the white base, it’s going to be hard to keep clean. They were pretty comfortable too, but I could feel the ankle strap ever-so-slightly rubbing against my skin… I debated for a long time whether to take these Franco Sarto sandals home, because I liked the warmth of the darker tan color and the detailing on the base. I noticed plenty of neutral colors (black, tan, white and beige) and single thick straps around the ankles, often with a Velcro closure. This trend is a little like your traditional cork wedge heel, but with a flatter base. First big trend: flat platform sandals with a cork base I love the idea of combining the comfort of flats with an extra couple inches of height. Flat sandals with a platform base, in particular, are having a moment, and I’m here for it 100%.
