Too many flats

For those of you who don't feel quite right about wearing flip flops yet (it's still May, after all), there's the options of flats. They seem to be everywhere at the moment, so to avoid looking like everyone else, below are some pairs that really stood out to our intrepid internet scouters. Enjoy!

Pixie by Etnies

The only fault we can find with these is that it might be a bit hard to wear them with just any color. But if you're into blue, red, white, or black, you should be fine.
Yama by Baci
These are almost like a pump, which makes them great for those "I wore my four-inch stilettos to work yesterday and can barely walk" days. They're also a very pretty gilded gold.

Flats gone girly, without the use of a single bow! These are the kind of shoes you'll want to dangle off your foot while sipping a milkshake.
Obsession by Seychelles
Rattan meets disco in this cute woven pair by Seychelles. Apparently they also allow for excellent air flow, if that sort of thing is important to you and your sweaty summer tootsies.
Seychelles - Women's Obsession

First of all, let's just get it out of the way and tell you that these are by Rocawear. Secretly, wouldn't you love to wear these and be able to tell people that you're rocking Rocawear? Exactly.
Serpent by Rebel
We're not sure if these are really great or just really weird. But either way, we have a strong compulsion to buy them and unapologetically pair them with everything in our wardrobes. Rebels - Women's Serpent

Very different dresses

Pulling on a dress is just so much easier than trying to find a top and skirt that go together. As such, we're always on the lookout for mind-blowing summer dresses that will take you from errands to dinner to dance floor. Here are some of our latest discoveries.

Pastel Halter Dress by Sui Generis
The model and her ice cream cone are oddly entrancing, although this probably shouldn't be reason enough to buy this dress, which may cause people to ask you if you just came back from a trip to Rio. Its plunging neckline and waist-defining ruffles are the best parts, not to mention the gorgeous colors (and it comes in pink, too).

Get it at Sui Generis Boutique, which couldn't be any more incredible. Go there now.
Bell sleeve dress by New York Couture
Well, you're sure as hell not going to meet anyone else wearing this. Great for cooler summer nights when you know you'll be outdoors (such as an evening play in the park) or any time you need some wow factor. May we gently suggest not eating soup in this dress.

Be brave and purchase yours at New York Couture.
Mon Petit Oiseau Singapore Dress
Could any other garment make you look so charmingly naive? We'd wear this to the Kentucky Derby, if we were into that sort of thing. The little decolletage cutout is just one of the details that will lead to everyone wanting to know where you bought this dress.

The answer: at Azalea's NYC.
