Summer Style Essentials: Espadrille Sandals (thefind.com Guest Blog)
From our friends at thefind.com:
With summer rapidly approaching my toes are eager to escape from the closed toed shoes and boots I’ve worn all winter and spring. And what better incentive to slough off the dead winter skin and give yourself a shiny pedicure than cute summer sandals? My favorite is the espadrille because it always reminds me of vacationing in exotic locales, but without the expensive plane ticket or missing luggage!
Espadrilles are characterized by their braided jute rope soles, but uppers can be made from anything from traditional canvas to brightly colored ribbons. I usually like to buy a platform wedge to get both height and comfort! My first pick would be the Michael Kors Juniper Espadrille with wide braided straps and 4.5 inch wedge heel. No matter what a fashionista tells you about heels and comfort, there are times where a nice flat shoe will give our tired feet a rest. The Deena & Ozzy Lace-Up Espadrille is perfect for those summer power shopping days with your girlfriends or enjoying live bands at a summer music festival.

Amazing Cosmetics Lives Up to its Name!
I was introduced to this line of products at the Maria Pinto show last season (they provided the makeup looks) and the Chicago-based Amazing Cosmetics most certainly did not disappoint! Available online at Sephora.com, I can’t get enough of their incredible concealer, that takes care of the pinkest of pimples and darkest of under eye circles, but I also tested and loved their Suede Collection eye shadow quad in Wheat, which gives one the guidance to create a variety of looks using contour and liner capabilities. Check out the entire line of products, and support a very cool company on the rise!

Kushyfoot to the Rescue!
Kushyfoot = seriously awesome. I kid not. I first came across the brand in my local Rite Aid when I was in search of some nude-colored peds, and quickly became a fan of their foot covers – a product that you can wear with heels or sneakers to prevent those awful skin rub or blister issues. Recently, Kushyfoot gave me some of their products to test out, and I can vouch that they definitely did not disappoint. The differentiator for the Kushyfoot products is focused on the idea of reflexology, providing a massaging, grooved texture on the bottom. I found the tights to be of excellent quality, particularly for the affordable price point, and any extra comfort provided to make wearing three inch heels more comfortable is alright in my book! The Yoga Socks were a great idea, since now I don’t have to run in my bare feet, on my tippy toes from the locker room to the yoga studio. All in all, feet are so important to one’s overall well-being, so why not show them a little extra love? I think you’ll be impressed too; check them out at Kushyfoot.com or at your local mega-pharmacy.
