Please don't tell me strappy sandals with flowers on them are coming back in style. According to Style.com, suede rosette strappy sandals are the perfect gift for mom. I don't know if I want my mom looking like she buys her shoes from the new Paris Hilton shoe line, so I got her a gift certificate to Border's instead.
I love strappy sandals -- don't get me wrong. But the strappy sandals I love are distinctively flower-free, and platform and stacked-heel like Ann Demeulemeester's Lace Up Platform Sandal (pictured at right - from the Saks website) or Yves Saint Lauren'ts Tribute Platform Sandals. Is it really stylish or elegant to wear a huge fake flower on your foot? That just screams bridesmaid nightmare to me. But if flowers are your thing, then you don't need to spend $575 on the Ralph Lauren's. Instead, get these for $20 at Target and glue one of these IKEA fake flowers on it, then - voila - you're all set.

That is SO TRUE. Strappy flower sandals are GROSS!
my mom would never wear those shoes. not because they're heinous, but because they have more than a 0.025 inch heel.
okay, if you HAVE to do the flower shoe, do the prada flower heel:

I also like to wear strappy sandals for a awesome look. I have 4 pairs of strappy sandals.
Strappy sandals are my first choice…!
