welcome to elaney!

Perhaps it’s the “royal we” sensibility that we’ve all come to know and love around here that makes us empathize the the solidarity of the gladiator…sandal. Sign of a good trend?  Grows on you year over year (think skinny jeans).  We are still loving the gladiators!  What about you?  Are you in?  Or are you with Varina, ”Goodbye, my love, my life. Goodbye, good-bye!!”

Reader EmEmLi wants to know, “elaney, what do you think about the gladiator sandal?”  Well, perhaps its our penchant for a little chunky gold jewelry (you can take a girl out of South Georgia, but you can’t take the South Georgia out of the girl), but we love some clunky, hardware infused gladiator sandals.  Check out these great ones from Tahari!  And for many, many more – check out this selection at PiperLime.com.  So, what exactly do we think about gladiators, EmEmLi?  We say, “When it comes to gladiator sandals, ‘I am Spartacus!’”
