I wasn't planning to tell you about this. Nothing groundbreaking. I'm sure it's been discussed before. And yet — I cancelled IRL plans and rearranged my entire newsletter schedule for a pair of sandals.

After seeing this letter, TKEES reached out and provided us with a code: ARDASCHANDRA10, offering 10% off. Enjoy!

Here's what happened: I received these red sandals five days ago, and I have not stopped wearing them. With everything. So yes, I'm afraid you need a pair too (especially if your wardrobe has been feeling a little blasé lately).
Let’s make it official: it’s the Red Sandal Theory. In one sentence: wear whatever you like, add a red sandal, and watch the whole outfit wake up. Instant energy. Playful. That pop of colour draws the eye, balances the look, lifts the mood. One shoe makes everything else feel new.
I’ve found 16 pairs I love — scroll down to shop them. And I’ll give you the full intel on my exact pair (almost sold out, just so you know).
100% recommend. Obviously.

I opened approximately 987 tabs so you don’t have to, and narrowed it down to 16 pairs — #1 is my personal pick (best price/quality) (and you only need one pair of red sandals)!
Five things I tell every friend about TKEES:
and TKEES reached out to give us a code: ARDASCHANDRA10 for 10% off, enjoy!
Comfortable from day one. Light, slightly cushioned, very soft against the sole — no breaking in required.
Size up. I’m a standard FR37 and take a US7/EU38 in TKEES.
Order two pairs… because free shipping over $100, and you’ll want a second pair anyway — so many great options (I have now four pairs… in linen, in heatwave, in red, and the square-toe in black, very chic!)
Europe shipping: free over €100 (vs. €14 shipping with tracking). Factor in duties at delivery — about €16 in my experience (for one pair). Still totally worth it.
Travel-ready. Comes with a dustbag, packs flat, perfect as a backup pair in your luggage all summer (you’ll end up wearing them with everything).

Okay, if you want more options, here are 16 pairs I like for us…
Go with your heart and follow the joy:
Also, PSA if you need a big bag that can fit all you need for a day, including a laptop, this is a really good recommendation with a double zipper, adjustable shoulder strap and inner pockets. Voluminous yet lightweight (and also gorgeous in navy!!)

I wasn't planning to tell you about this. And yet here we are — you with a new theory, me with red sandals on my feet as I type this. Honestly? No regrets.
Always give yourself the best.
