Our new favorite pair of sandals |

These woven slingbacks — the newest addition in our guide to the best sandals — won points with our testers for their “French-girl-cool vibes.” They feel dressier than the average sandal (we “oohed” and “aahed” over their slim shape and delicate braided straps), but they’re pretty versatile, too. We like wearing them with long slip dresses, straight leg jeans, and linen pants — nice enough for a date but still casual enough for a relaxed outing.

A dear friend recently gifted newsletters editor Brittney Ho a very chic purse, which she says has become the perfect take-anywhere bag. And she adds: “It’s roomy enough to carry all my stuff without any bulging lumps.” She got it in leather, but if you’re after something with summery vibes, won’t you join the rest of us in eyeing the pretty straw version?

One last thing: Jelly shoes are back, baby |

| Ancient Greek Sandals |
In a recent edition of our newsletter The Gift, editor Hannah Morrill waxed poetic about things that embody “I’m getting out of town” energy — even when you’re not actually headed on vacation. A standout? These very charming kelly green jelly shoes. Fabulous.
