A Slice of Summer

Aah, summer.  It’s so full of iconic tastes: corn, zucchini, tomatoes… and watermelon!  Biting into a chilled slice of watermelon, juice dripping down your chin… there are few experiences as quintessentially summer as that.

If you want to take a little piece of watermelon with you wherever you go (without actually taking a piece of watermelon with you wherever you go), how about these?



The Raegen by DV8 is apparently called a “skip.”  Fun fact for the day!  Also fun: the bright watermelon print, and the green and white stripes around the foot.  Also available in pineapple, lips, or waves; your choice for $28 from 6pm.


The Jade Watermelon Ballerina Flat by Kate Spade watermelon done elegantly, with a two-tone nappa leather outer, braided patent leather trim, and nine crystal “seeds” on the toe.  So pretty!  Just imagine it with a pretty little sundress.  TOO adorable.  Yours for $258 from Neiman Marcus.



Just hanging around?  Try these watermelon flip flops!  It’s the shape of these that makes them special—it’s not often you see a curved base like this.  But it really accents the watermelon-ness, doesn’t?  Find them at Bonanza for $11.



For the chilly nights we’ve been having lately, curl up in these fruity slippers!  Custom made for your foot, these wet-felted slippers evoke a whole watermelon: stripy rind on the outside, peeled back to reveal the bright pink seeded inside.  Ugh, they look so cozy I can barely stand it.  I just want to squish my feet in there.  Yours for $75 from Etsy seller Svetusha.


Anybody else have a sudden hunger for watermelon?  (…Or a watermelon margarita?)
