Zu Shoes were having a 50-75% off sale the other week, and I bought these gladiator sandals for $30. They are real leather and a lovely light tan colour. I didn’t think it was a *smart* purchase at the time, with winter approaching. But they were such a great price for real leather.

Anyway, it turns out that I have been wearing them everywhere, with almost everything – jeans, skirts, shorts, maxi skirts – because they add a very cool, understated luxe look to my outfits. They are definitely my best buy this month!

Yes I bought another pair of sunglasses. These are “cat eyes” from the sale at Urban Outfitters

I’m in this terrible cycle of buying “affordable” fashiony sun glasses, because I always lose them or squash them. So I buy another pair, and another. I wonder if I would take better care of my sunglasses, if I spent a bit more money on a quality pair?
