Posted by: Communikate | May 04, 2012 at 03:05 PM
I need some cute flip flops for the summer. I'd pick the tan Bura sandals. Love your blog by the way!
Posted by: Jolee | May 04, 2012 at 03:09 PM
I'm loving the Ricky and the Rulla.
You look beautiful!
Posted by: Karen | May 04, 2012 at 03:11 PM
Oooh! Oooh! I pick a pair of Rullas!
By the way, you look stunning. :)
Posted by: mary | May 04, 2012 at 03:18 PM
I am so excited for you with your whole grad school thingy. I don't have enough distance from school yet to think it sounds remotely appealing, but I'm excited that you're excited. :)
Cmoooonnnn mama, gimme some Sadikis!
Posted by: amanda | May 04, 2012 at 03:39 PM
um... that second picture of you is absolutely stunning! you deserve a fancy date in that red dress.

love, lindsay
Posted by: Lindsay | May 04, 2012 at 03:44 PM
The Sassas please!
Posted by: Kristin | May 04, 2012 at 03:44 PM
Vanamo? :)
Posted by: shannon m | May 04, 2012 at 03:45 PM
i can't even narrow it down. gypsy? rulla? malka? hartley? oy vey.
Posted by: aubry | May 04, 2012 at 03:52 PM
The Samiras are super cute
Posted by: Tiffani C | May 04, 2012 at 03:55 PM
Yes! Good gravy, I could do with a new pair of shoes. Maybe some Samiras?
Posted by: Tamsin | May 04, 2012 at 03:55 PM
i LOVE shoes!! I think I would say I like the Rulla the best!
Posted by: Amy Coontz | May 04, 2012 at 04:13 PM
Um gee whiz It's been years since I bought a fun pair of shoes(running shoes don't count!) i'd take the rulla's in red but i'm a casual girl at heart so the sangos and handstands are calling my name. Now how do I get shabby apple and blowfish to send me stuff?! I guess i'd need a cool blog for starters!
Posted by: Jourdan | May 04, 2012 at 04:16 PM
I really like the smara's in black and white stripes. So cute!
Posted by: Beth | May 04, 2012 at 04:20 PM
Ooh, I like your pair. Also the Genny's. Kind of one of those situations that you're relieved when you don't win so you don't have to spend 3 hours narrowing it down to one pair. ;)
Posted by: Eve | May 04, 2012 at 04:24 PM
You look great! Good luck on your first day of grad school!
I'm loving the Tan Nordie. :)
Posted by: Susan C. | May 04, 2012 at 05:19 PM
Love, love, love the Rulla. Might even convince me to wear heels once in a while.
Posted by: Nicki | May 04, 2012 at 05:36 PM
It's really hard to narrow this down but I think I'd do the Screamer flats. You look great in the shoes you picked out... love the photos!
Posted by: Wendy | May 04, 2012 at 05:53 PM
The Genny. In red. I'm ready for sandal weather!
Posted by: Nicole Bruderer | May 04, 2012 at 06:05 PM
So cute! I love the Samira.
Posted by: Donna | May 04, 2012 at 06:20 PM
i'm thinking i'd look pretty hot in some red rullas! loving the red dress, by the way!
Posted by: courtney | May 04, 2012 at 06:37 PM
honestly i think you picked well i love the ricky in the money print
Posted by: robin m | May 04, 2012 at 06:41 PM
I second the "you look hot" comments. . .
Also? I think you are brave for going to grad school and wish you so much success!
As for shoes, yes please. Just have to decide between the Rulla or the Ricky wedges. . .
Posted by: Nichole | May 04, 2012 at 07:21 PM
I really like the Huxley canvas sneakers but there are a pair of mocs there that are cute too.
Posted by: Vanessa :P | May 04, 2012 at 07:36 PM
Gosh, how to pick? I think I'd have to say the Screamer is at the top of my list.
Posted by: -A | May 04, 2012 at 08:04 PM
Kelly - you look AMAZING. And I think I might have to buy that dress. And those Ricky shoes, too. I want it all.
Posted by: Mara {A Blog About Love} | May 04, 2012 at 08:07 PM
You look gorgeous!
I'm destined to win because by chance this morning, while looking for a summer sandal I stumbled upon the Blowfish Gypsy, tan faux-leather platform and fell in in love. They were a bit more than I wanted to spend so I didn't get them. But if I WON them. Perfection.
Posted by: Lindsey | May 04, 2012 at 08:29 PM
Love the photos and love the Louie!
Posted by: MBMeadows | May 04, 2012 at 09:07 PM

Posted by: K | May 05, 2012 at 06:01 PM
i think i'd like the Ricky's-- same ones you have on, i believe!
Posted by: meredith | May 05, 2012 at 07:15 PM
The Scottfree are cute - the ones you have on are cute but I am too much of a wimp to do heels of any kind these days!
Posted by: Erin | May 05, 2012 at 08:39 PM
kind of digging the huxley's and since I am currently pregnant with twins (diagnosed with pcos 10 years ago...there is hope:) shoes are about the only thing that still fit me! thanx for the giveaway
Posted by: Harmony | May 05, 2012 at 08:52 PM

Posted by: Hannah | May 05, 2012 at 10:11 PM
the dress looks amazing on you. i wish they had a shop so i could try them on...
i would pick the rulla in red or the skippie.
yay for your first day!
Posted by: nat | May 06, 2012 at 11:04 AM
I think I like the Huxleys. But I wouldn't be surprised if I change my mind. Too many to choose from.
Posted by: chell | May 06, 2012 at 11:45 AM

I'm with the others in that you look really great. I'm also happy to hear of Blowfish; I've been looking for some cute wedges for a month or so now. It's hard to choose but I like the ones you have on, Rulla, and Vanamo.
Posted by: Heather D | May 06, 2012 at 06:27 PM
Oh man, I'm having a hard time choosing between the Saleri, Howie, Slow Down, Ricky, Tush, Louie, Horton, and Hartley...how's that for non-commital!
By the way, I absolutely love that dress and you totally rock it!
Posted by: Alicia | May 06, 2012 at 07:17 PM
the gippity gypsies for sure! I have adored those gypsies since I saw them on pinterest!
you look like a magazine. a really beautiful magazine. I love the juxtaposition of these pictures. the red feminine dress and shoes against the concrete. Kind of reminds me of you in a way... tough and feminine at the same time.
Posted by: likely | May 06, 2012 at 08:20 PM
I like the ones you have! So cute and since I can't walk in high heels, I love wedges:)
Posted by: Quinne Sowell | May 06, 2012 at 08:43 PM

~ps Kelly you are beautiful!
Posted by: Brandy Lynn | May 07, 2012 at 11:16 AM
Oh, it would have to be the Makary in tan...it would go with everything all spring and summer!!
