With a 14-hour flight coming up, I'm asking myself what any normal person in my position would - what am I going to WEAR?! Of course I want to look cute but be comfortable at the same time. So what will I need? A hat and sunglasses for sure - so I can sleep on the plane without having to worry about looking...

I'm looking for a new pair of summer sandals... (and flip-flops are not sandals!) Even though gladiators have been around for ages, has anything else so fierce come out to replace their utter domination? I think not. Gladiators are like the Lakers - you either love em or hate em. I happen to love them :) When Balenciaga came out with these knee-high...
