Warm weather is coming my way–so I dream of greener pastures (I’ve been bundled up in my parka for way, waaaaaay too long). The whole coming season is shaping up to  be green, if you ask me–as the eco-chic movement is gaining momentum. Speaking of green, who can resist the simplicity and elegance of these sandals:

They’re the Chie Mihara Jari style, $326 at PedShoes. I’ve always been partial to this new designer’s style–it’s robust and elegant, effortlessly cool, and–the cherry on the cake–the shoes seem to be made with the comfort of the wearer in mind. A Brazilian educated at the New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, Chie Mihara makes her shoes in Spain–and makes them well.

If you’re craving the green goodness and comfort of these sandals, but the T-strap just ain’t your thang, there’s another style that’s equally delicious:

This Chie Mihara Jade suede banded sandal is $315 at Shopbop. It might swallow my entire sandal budget for the summer–but by golly, they’re worth it!
