Now that we've looked into a subtle, yet sophisticated pick, let's hop over to a look that adds just enough oomph and pizzazz to turn a few heads! Diane von Furstenberg's 'Jaya Love-Knot Jelly Sandal' offers the perfect balance between comfort and sass. This is where gladiator meets jelly, and looks absolutely lovely! This open-toed option boasts a full back for a lovely, balanced look and seriously comfortable, flexible form that crisscrosses and winds over the top of your foot. The petite buckle at the back fastens the ankle strap to ensure a cozy, reliable fit. Something we love about Diane's look is the extra oomph the shoe bodes from the half-inch heel; slightly unexpected, not overdone, and perfectly placed, it's topped off with a subtle, embedded logo at the heel. These gold hue heeled sandals work wonders with a little black dress or jean shorts and a navy cotton tank top.

Plus, we love the little logo detailing along the sole. Constructed in Brazil, these sandals definitely retain a little bit of the fun and funk of Carnival, while keeping a sweet sophistication. Pair these puppies with blue shorts and a white linen top for a comfortable, pretty, seriously soft look.
