I haven’t worn heels in over two months and I only have one style of sandals I can comfortably wear for extended periods of time, so thank goodness the Birkenstock trend is still going strong. (Seriously, I’ve been converted, they might just be the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned.)  Comfortable shoes don’t necessarily feel all that feminine, but this handbag feels delicate and graceful and makes even my most “comfortable” shoes feel feminine.  Okay, so a little bit of gingham and a full skirt don’t hurt either, but I think this handbag gets most of the credit.*

*Oh, and flowers help too.  Go buy yourself some beautiful flowers and try not to feel instantly more girlie.
