Summer is officially here! And I"m so excited to kick off the season with my biggest giveaway ever. The kind folks at Simply Soles have this stunning pair of Chie Mihara sandals waiting in the wings for one lucky reader! If you're not familiar with Simply Soles, you've got to pop over and visit--they have a brilliantly edited collection of designer shoes and handbags.
Of course I love everything at the Simply Soles website, but these Chie Mihara stunners happen to be my favourite! They're so beautifully wrought, with suede origami details and delicate buckles. And they're versatile too. Go casual with denim shorts and a button down...
...dress them up for a night out with a flowy dress and a sweet clutch, or pair them with an edgy skirt and floral tank for the office! These are seriously the sandals you'll want to wear all summer.
How do you enter to win the pair of Chie Mihara sandals? Just head to the Simply Soles website, then leave a comment here telling me your favourite items in their line-up. I'll randomly select a winner a week from today. Plus you can spread the word about this giveaway for more chances to win--let me know if you tweet or blog the news, and I'll throw your name in the hat again. So let the summer fun begin!
A Couple Notes: Simply Soles will do their best to guarantee size availability; however in the event that they're sold out of the winner's size, they'll help you choose another totally awesome pair of shoes that makes your heart sing. As well, Simply Soles has asked me to provide the email addresses of those who are interested in the giveaway so that a) we can let you know if you've won, and b) so we can keep you in the loop about other fantastic upcoming offers. You can decide at any time if you don't want to be contacted.

Among the best:
I love the retro colors and silhouettes of all of Butter's kitten and wedge heels--they're sassy and wearable. Chie Mihara is needless to say my favorite shoe designer. Her shoes are always classy and well constructed, with a pinch of Brazilian flavor. And finally, Helen Kaminski's Imani hat is so very sweet. Sure it breaks the bank for a summer hat, but it'd be worth it.

The green version of Bingo by Bettye Muller are so so perfect. Just dainty enough without being too girly. But the Marieta's are so great as well!

Oh fun!!! i LOVE the Stella in Blue.
Posted by: NEPD | June 22, 2009 at 07:57 AM
Oh man. I love pretty much every pair of Chie Mihara shoes I've ever come across. But aside from their whole assortment on Simply Soles, I love the Jennifer flats from lilybee and the espadrilles from Bettye Muller.

Awesome giveaway! I love the Ashley sandals by lillybee, I have been lusting for yellow shoes lately.

Posted by: sarah | June 22, 2009 at 08:03 AM

Posted by: Noellen | June 22, 2009 at 08:13 AM
Loving the Renata from Chie Mihara, as well as the Mary-Kate by lilybee....but to be perfectly honest, the Marieta is my absolute favorite.
Posted by: Deb | June 22, 2009 at 08:14 AM
I can honestly say the chie mahara sandals you're giving away are my absolute faves. Amazing!
Posted by: Melanie | June 22, 2009 at 08:24 AM
Your style boards are *too* cute! I love how you've shown such different outfits that work with these sandals! I lvoe that Rosella bag by Billybag, I seriously do dig the ruffles on the Renata/Chie Mihara sandals, and (for my practical self) the Courtney + Jennifer by lillybee are soo cute!
Posted by: cara | June 22, 2009 at 08:26 AM
What a cool giveaway! I really love the sandals you picked, and also the Green "Golden" sandals by Bettye Muller.
Fingers crossed!

The "Sunny" shoes by Bettye Muller have the most darling little print and the perfect slight wedge. They'd be perfection with something unexpected: a pair of boyfriend jeans and a silky white top. And I can't help but love the "Hilary" patent heels by lillybee.... and not just because that's my name...
Posted by: Hillary | June 22, 2009 at 08:44 AM
Wow I adore those sandals! Though, my favorite would have to be the Ashley by lillybee
Posted by: Ashley C. | June 22, 2009 at 08:47 AM
Great sandals! I love lots of the Lillybee shoes. My favorites are Natalie with Angelina and Ashley as runners-up.
Posted by: Allison L. | June 22, 2009 at 09:15 AM
Oh, what a sweet giveaway!!
I love the blue Stella flats by Tibi.

These Chie Mihara sandals are absolutely adorable and very versatile! I have been looking for cute flip flop alternatives that can be dressed up or down and have an ankle strap for added support and stability and these are perfect!
The Colorful Life Sandal
by Lilly Pulitzer are truly unique and add some life back to the basic flip flop! But I also really like the Kirsten by lillybee. They somehow melded four colors and patterns together to make a neutral but brilliant combination of color and texture.
If I wasn't living on a grad student budget, I would buy all of them!

I love the shoes you're giving away, but I also love the Julia shoes by Lillybee - blue and black are such a smart color combo!
