From the wise lyricist and Apple Bottom aficionado, Nelly, you really can’t tell that these sandals aren’t Manolo’s. Newport News is now selling the chic t-strap flat sandals that Manolo Blahnik made popular. A genius- yes, price conscious - no. These pretty babies go for a cool $10, and shipping is even sweeter at $5.99. So, if you’re not a socialite and you have a decent head on your shoulders, go to www.newport-news.com and pick up multiples for the summer months.

End Note: As a personal playa hata of flats, I’m reforming after having a visual epiphany of ugly toes on New York streets as the weather warms up. I plan to buy 3 pairs to allow my barking dogs ample recovery time.
