Barney's fashion director Amanda Brooks in Castaner espadrilles

Cool and comfy espadrilles are warm-weather classic (see previous post Summer Staples)...  But I also love a glammed up version. The summer shoe with a platform wedge is the perfect way to give a casual look a slightly dressier feel -- and the ideal footwear for on-the-grass parties (to avoid the dreaded sunken heel syndrome).
