The return of the Gladiator sandal for spring 2013

 in Shoes / Trends  tagged runway trends / sandals / spring 2013 / summer 2013 by

The Gladiator sandal was a huge trend a few years back in 2008. Celebrities and Fashionistas alike were caught wearing gladiator sandals with everything from red carpet looks to jeans. For the spring 2013 season, the gladiator sandal is back and the look is to wear them with a skirt or a dress.

Gladiator sandals are hot for spring 2013. The last time they were on-trend, Gladiator sandals were flat and looked like they really were worn by Gladiators! For spring 2013, the Gladiator sandal has gotten a little bit sassier. Gladiator sandals are not only being shown in flat styles, there are high heel and platform styles! Fabulous!

Gladiator sandals are being shown in all of the hot colors of the season as well as metallics and neutrals. Any heel height goes this season where the Gladiator sandal is concerned; but for the freshest heel height, look for a flat sole and 3” heel. Love that!

These not-so-simple shoes look fabulous with A-line skirts, flirty dresses and all of the patterns, solids and color blocked frocks of the season. Although Gladiator sandals have a strong look, they are the perfect contrast to spring 2013’s soft fabrics and girlish prints.

We found a few fabulous Gladiator sandals around the web and assembled them into this article. Hope you love them! To shop the sandals, please click on the photos in the shopping widget below and you will be taken to where you can find them online! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Hari Mari Parks are an eco-chic line of flip-flops which offer comfort, bright colors, quality craftsmanship and sustainable materials.

Parks flip flops by Hari Mari are made with memory foam toe pieces and best of all; arch support! Finding a pair of flip flops with arch support is almost unheard of, making this one of the best features of the Hari Mari Parks flips flops and what makes them my favorite casual sandal for summer. 

Hari Mari’s Parks flips flops are incredibly durable and offer very dense, rubber-tread soles, high-test nylon, and include wear resistant hemp. In fact, they are backed by a one year guarantee! Love that!

What makes the company amazing is the fact that Hari Mari flip flops are built with sustainable hemp fibers, reprocessed foam, and recycled rubber. This means the shoes reduce their impact on the environment and minimize their footprint. Love it!

For every pair of Hari Mari Parks which are purchased, the company will give $3 to help in the fight against cancer for children. Funds raised go directly to children who are battling pediatric cancer and to help secure vital treatments and medications for children.

Since bright colors are hot for summer, and being eco-chic is always in style, Hari Mari’s Parks are the perfect choice for any Fashionista seeking a fabulous flip flop for the warm summer season.

Hari Mari Parks rate five out of five stars.

Cheery flat sandals for spring and summer 2012

The warm weather is beginning to roll in and Fashionistas everywhere are looking for at least one pair of fabulous sandals that can easily take them through a busy and fashionable day. While high heeled and platform sandals are beautiful and flattering, flat sandals are the workhorse shoe for casual days during the warm, late-spring and summer months.

Spring 2012 is all about color; therefore it is no wonder that flat sandals are mirroring this trend. There are brightly colored sandals, color blocked sandals, pastel hued sandals and of coursed floral print sandals on store shelves everywhere. Fashionistas are just starting to take flat sandals for spring 2012 to the streets. The big winners so far? Bright colors!

Flat sandals are being shown in many styles for the warm weather season. The three most popular styles happen to be classic flip flops with embellishments, gladiator (who knew this style would stay strong three years later?!?!?) and ankle strap styles.

We scoured the web and found a few fabulous flat sandals and assembled them into the Polyvore set below. Hope you love it! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
