Manolo says, ankle strap flats, they are in the style this season! Flat Ankle-Strap Sandals from Marc by Marc Jacobs Very charming, yes? The Illia from Kate Spade. Sort of semi-gladiator-ish, but not really. Thong Flat Ankle Strap Sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti. This one is the favorites of the Manolo, as the color is perfect for virtually any of your outfits, and is something you could wear until the very start of fall.
