Gladiator Brights

If you were wise enough to jump on the gladiator trend last summer I'm sure you purchased a pair in a lovely neutral. Well for Summer 2009 gladiator brights are all the rage. Why not pick yourself up a pair of this go to basic in a color that pops. See below for a few of my top picks.

Sam Edelman - Ginnie

100% pebbled leather in a sunny orange hue. I love the delicate lines of the straps all leading up to that thick ankle cuff. Such a cool contrast in this sandal that makes these anything but ordinary. That leather looks oh so buttery soft in this gladiator style by Sam Edelman.

Mia - Hydra

This delicious turquoise blue evokes thoughts of a cool blue ocean and days spent on a warm sandy beach. Well you'll be able to strut your stuff in style from the beach to a night out on the town with these little beauties. Croc embossed leather definitely make these look more expensive than they are.

Sam Edelman - Giada

A bold scarlet hue and ethnic beading give this sexy gladiator a delightfully feminine vibe. A calf hair upper also adds a unique twist to this flirty little sandal. Add to that double ankle straps and a back zip and you are bound to get stopped on the street and asked "Where did you get those shoes?"
