Thank you! That means a lot coming from you 😘 I remember before buying the Eleftheria I couldn’t get them out of my head - they really are so good! I always feel weird sharing photos, but I had to prove my claims! 😜

I’m obsessed with my chacos. They are not chic by any manner but they work really well to slip on and off and have been great for light hiking on trips and beach wear. I’m thinking of switching to a pair of black strappy tevas for more daytime style with practical elements. Otherwise I just ordered a pair of Amanu sandals that have become my summer sandal.

Oh yes, chacos are very Teva-adjacent! I know a couple people who are also obsessed. And the Olsen twins wear the strappy black Tevas, so you know they're good ;) The Amanu sandals look gorgeous I love the pair with the gold toe ring 😍

I just bought the Birks for the lake and think I need the Ancient Greek sandals next! Love the cute pics too <3

That's so funny, I actually had a vague memory of you mentioning you were on the fence about Birks recently and I was going to suggest you try the EVA at your lake house because they're a great entry point 🤣 Curious to hear what you think!

Heading to Santorini, Milos, and Sifnos for my honeymoon this August. Any specific spots to hit for real Greek sandals? So cute!!

Assuming you're passing through Athens, check out this place! https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g189400-d523874-Reviews-Melissinos_Art_The_Poet_Sandal_Maker-Athens_Attica.html

Also LOVEEEE Milos. So jealous of your trip. In Santorini you must do the little boat ride to Armeni Taverna for lunch—the best!

Amazing! 💙🤍 We did Santorini, Folegandros and Sifnos for our honeymoon (the pic above is actually from that trip). The Greek sandals are in lots of shops in the towns, and I've found the quality is mostly similar, it's mostly about browsing for a style you like. I have so many Sifnos recs if you're interested, we love love love it. Omega3 is our fave restaurant on planet earth (we dined there 3x in a row). We also did Milos on our last trip and had the most wonderful day going to Polyaigos with perseas-milos.com. Nothing beats Greek boat days. Have the best time!! x

Why did I not realize that you live in Seattle?! I lived there for 4 1/2 years before moving to France!

Yes! I grew up here and moved back in 2020 for COVID related reasons, but I'm trying to follow in your footsteps and spend some time abroad next!

Thank you for this! I absolutely loathe summer fashion, for myself anyway.

So many people seem to! I’m sure the heat and humidity have something to do with it.
