Get out those flip flops America! (But please....get a pedi first)


Hey Folks! Rebecca here. Cosmetologist to the Montclair elite. I am here to educate you on everything beauty, fashion, and wellness. With the temps climbing you ladies (and gents) are probably itching to break out the flip flops. Terrific! Now I want you to reach down and feel your heels. Calloused? Hard? Unattractive. Go get a pedi! I expect that you all have been maintaining your manicures and pedicures over the winter months but for those who have neglected your tootsies this is the very first thing you must do when it starts to sizzle. For those of you with darker skin tones a gold, orange, deep red/purple polish would look amazing. For those with a paler complexion we are seeing big trends with light purples, soft pinks, greens, and metallic blues.

Now lets get to the sandals... flip flops may be cute for the weekend, but they are not work appropriate (unless you work in a spa like me...then you can wear them all the time!). If you like the comfort of a flip flop but want a more updated style try www.shoesthatloveyou.com . The OKAb brand is big in the Spa industry as a more stylized version of a "crock".

Last year's gladiator sandal trend is still one to watch. If you have shied away from it in the past, try Kmart for cheap gladiators from Route 66 until you figure out if you are comfortable with the style. And here's to my latest and greatest shoe trend....rain boots!!!! Whenever it comes to fashion, go to the source. Kate Moss. Seen wearing rain boots frolicking through mud sparking my favorite new found obsession. No boring rain boots here. Try Zappos.com for fun plaids and prints starting at 49 bucks. Remember to never tuck a rain boot. Pair with skinny jeans, leggings, or a cute dress.
