Guess which deft and agile fashion blogger fell and skinned her knee while running for the bus last Friday?

You guessed it! Just in time for bare-leg-and-short-skirt season, I’m stuck with a bandage the size of Texas covering the wound on my knee.  It could have been much worse, so I won’t complain too much. In the mean time, I’ll be getting extra cozy with the maxi dresses and midi-length skirts in my closet for the next few weeks along with perusing a few new options online…

CC Recommends: The ‘City Sandal’ {My Top Picks for Under $100}

City Sandals{Pictured Above: Moschino, Leifsdottir, Valentino}

Hello, Lovelies!

If you’ve been to my blog a few times, you’ve probably guessed that I absolutely adore shoes! And while I’ve never been one to shy away from a 4-inch heel (or a designer price tag), sometimes a gal’s tootsies (and bank account) just need a break!  That’s why I’m so excited about low-heeled “city sandals”.  I love living in NYC, but these mean city streets can wreak havoc on my heels if I’m not careful.  The reason I’m so smitten with city sandals is that they have a sturdy heel that’s perfect for pounding the pavement.

Below are my favorite picks for under $100 a pop. And if you see something that strikes your fancy, you can hover the image for pricing information and a link to purchase online.  Enjoy!

The temps shot up to 80 degrees over the weekend, and I was a pretty happy camper. I’m so excited that I finally get to dig into my stash of warm weather dresses and sandals. I wore this outfit for a picture perfect Sunday afternoon in the city that included people-watching in Central Park and enjoying Wafels & Dinges by Pulitzer Fountain, followed by a bit of window-shopping along 5th Avenue.
