Love Em or Hate Em: Huaraches

We would stay at a hotel near their retirement village and spend our days swimming in their (un-heated) swimming pool with all the other grandkids while the old folks sat in the shade playing Bridge.

But whether I like it or not, this shoe is leaving Boca and making its way into the closets of fashionistas nationwide.

So I have to know:

    Calrose,

    I like the ones you posted.

    Those are the cutest pair of huaraches I've ever seen. But then again, you can never go wrong with Target aka the best store in the world!

Tell us what you're thinking...
