This summer, the one essential I could not live without, would be my black gladiator jelly sandals. Summer just does not feel right while wearing sneakers, boots, or anything but sandals! If you were to get one pair of shoes for the whole summer, don't just settle on plain old flip-flops. Spice up your footwear with something more unique, such as these. The greta thing about them is that they're black, therefore they will most likely match with 90 percent of your outfits! Their jelly material makes them easy to clean, flexible for easy travel, and water and sand proof making them great for the beach. I love my pair, I got them at WetSeal for only $5! Not quite into the darkness of black? They come in practically every color; white, silver, pink, green, yellow, blue, purple... whatever your heart may desire. So, don't miss out, pick up your pair before fall hits this year!
