Banana Republic Monika Flip Flops | Affordable Stylish Knotted Leather Beach Shoes

Simple but chic, these Monika flip flops from Banana Republic can add style to your beach ensemble without compromising on comfort.

Flip flops are traditionally relaxed affairs, but this pair has a little more class than the average. Soft metallic leather strands are knotted together near your toes to create a look which is casually charming. It's such a simple idea, but it helps these flip flops look elegant enough to wear away from the beach. It's also got just a hint of a heel; this is enough to add high-class style but not enough to cause you to totter as you walk along the sand.

The Monika's appeal goes beyond the superficial though. Its sole is made from a flexible rubber outer overlaid with a breathable synthetic lining. This surface is packed with memory foam and a cushioned insole for the comfiest fit all day.

It's rare to find a pair of flip flops which gives us so much for such little money. My only complaint is the limited range of colors on offer. While this subdued metallic silver is lovely, a few more choices would help us really coordinate our summer wardrobes. After all, with a $20 price tag I'd happily snap up a few more!

Banana Republic Sarena Sunglasses | Blue Ombre UV-Protective Round Oval Shape Shades

In a sea of black and brown frames at the seaside, you're sure to stand out in these blue fade sunglasses.

The Banana Republic Sarena Sunglasses brighten up your face with an awesome pool blue color that fades to black with an ombre affect. These would be great for someone looking for a more stylish pair of shades in addition to their basic black or brown, or someone for whom "basic" isn't a wardrobe option at all. They'd be equally chic at the beach or the pool, with a plain black suit or something more colorful and graphic.

The glasses feature plastic, rounded rectangular frames with a rounded oval affect and the BR monogram on the left temple. European gradient lenses offer 100% UV protection for your eyes. Not only will it protect your vision, but that delicate under-eye skin that's prone to wrinkles and crow's feet. (Hey, these are also great for hiding wrinkles and crow's feet!)
