These $39 Birkenstocks Are All You Need For Summer




Fashion blogger KatWalkSF wears the $39 Birkenstocks at the Meritage Napa Hotel.


Update ->-> These sandals are STILL the only sandal you need in your wardrobe, but since I wrote this post last year the price has gone up to $45




All you need for summer is a BOLD statement, but I 100% stand behind it! My favorite boho sandals got a sporty UPGRADE from Birkenstock, masters of comfort since 1774. Their iconic cushioned sandal was revised in allover rubber-like texture with sleek adjustable straps designed to exercise foot and leg muscles while providing comfort. At the ripe old age of 32, comfort is key and honestly the main selling factor in a summer sandal for me. The contoured footbed absorbs shock and mimics the shape of a healthy foot, while pronounced medial and metatarsal arches support the instep and ball of your foot.

I snagged these $39 Birkenstocks at the beginning of last summer and haven’t looked back. I own them in the white color and just like last summer they are selling out quickly. I know white summer sandals sound scary and NOT very practical, but these sandals are so easy to clean. Just grab a magic eraser, scrub them down and they will look brand new.


The white color SELLS OUT FAST!



FAQs


Are they comfortable? Do you need to break them in?

Yes! They are comfortable, but you do need to break them in like most sandals. I wear these sandals 24/7 and after a couple of wears, you are good-to-go!

How do you keep the white so clean?

MAGIC ERASER! I use a magic eraser on every white service.

I also just discovered the Jason Markk ‘Essential’ Shoe Cleaning Kit. This magical kit is excellent on the Birkenstocks and sneakers.

I’ve seen them at Target for $14.99 -> What’s the difference?

Comfort and quality! Spend the extra $30 and get the real sandals! I tried the Target version last summer and it just wasn’t worth it.

Target Designer Dress Collection


The time has almost come for us to get our hands on the Target designer dress collection featuring Cushnie, Lisa Marie Fernandez, and LoveShackFancy.

Target announced in May that it had teamed up with the three female-founded labels on a size-inclusive assortment of more than 70 dresses, giving us weeks to make room in our closets for the cheery warm-weather wares.

Dropping June 6 online and June 15 in select stores, fans of Cushnie’s clean silhouettes, Lisa Marie Fernandez’s beachy pieces, and LoveShackFancy’s playful prints better act fast, because Target’s limited-edition designer collaborations tend to sell out pretty quickly.

To avoid any sartorial heartbreak, I strongly suggest setting an alarm! The target designer dress collection drops at 12 am PST.

Summer Dresses by WAYF


WAYF  describes their aesthetic as feminine-grunge and frankly, I’m pretty sure that’s my aesthetic too.

Playful, preppy pieces make up the WAYF (Where Are You From) summer dresses collection and I’m a big fan.

I wear a medium in all WAYF dresses and have linked (almost) all of them on MEGA sale below.
