custom sandals from capri

Two weekends ago when I was in the Amalfi Coast, I was lucky enough to snag a pair of custom made sandals from Capri! If you're headed to Amalfi, I highly recommend it. I've seen plenty of custom sandal shops in Capri as well as a few in Positano. You choose your strap color and the jewels you want on the strap as well as the strap design. Then they make it right in front of you!

  When I studied abroad two years ago, I went to Capri a week before I went back home. My budget only allowed for either a pair of custom sandals or a leather jacket - I chose the leather jacket last time, so this time around I made sure to go straight for the sandals! What I didn't know last time was that you can haggle the price. I got a 100+ euro pair for 75 euro. Better than nothing!

I know it's pretty much "fall," but since it's still warm, I'm getting as much use out of these sandals as I can get before I pack 'em away till spring. :)

photo diary: amalfi coast [sep. 5-8]

My first weekend guiding a trip was to the Amalfi Coast in Southern Italy. Amalfi is one of the most gorgeous places I have ever been and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling in Italy!

I made sure to pack plenty of summer staples for a weekend on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. All weekend I was in my swimsuit, dresses, shorts, and sandals. I know back home Labor Day has already happened, but summer weather is still going strong here, and I will for sure milk it as long as I can! Being by the beach, I wore my starfish jeweled headband and a new pair of custom made starfish sandals from Capri. I'll post photos from the weekend of all the gorgeous beaches, houses, and flowers as soon as I can.

Can it just be summer forever?
