The summer season has so much to offer:  backyard barbecues, swimming at the pool or lake, vacations at the beach...and SHOES!  I always look forward to shedding my bulky socks and shoes and pairing some adorable flats or sandals with the latest summer fashions.  I don't know what it is, but most every woman I know loves shoes, which means that finding a source for top-quality footwear that won't break the bank, is a must.

The Born Molly Women's Ballet Flats from PlanetShoes.com are the perfect blend of casual style.  The soft rounded toe gives a feminine look to this shoe and the off-center bow adds a touch of flair.  I love the metallic bronze color which promises to get your tootsies noticed no matter what you're pairing these shoes with.  They are supremely versatile in that they look great with almost anything:  a breezy summer dress, a pair of capris, blue jeans or even shorts.

This women's slip-on features a crunched full grain or sleek metallic leather upper, a cushioned footbed and flexible Handsewn Opanka Construction. The rubber sole lends excellent traction to the skimmer so that even a sudden summer storm won't dampen your spirits.  The Born Molly comes in five colors: black, bronze, burgundy, gray and vaniglia off-white.
