7 Must-Have Spring Sandals

Running errands in flat sandals was never meant to be this chic.  That’s until Designers decided to spruce sandals up for their Resort 2014 Collection where simple sandals got makeovers of sophisticated floral prints by Givenchy, brass metal pieces by Chloe and cool buckles by Marni.  I would love to have them all mostly because I almost have forgotten how to walk in heels by now – that’s how much I appreciate flats.  Luckily for me flats are just but getting better.

With an aura that reckons the glamorous decor of The Hollywood Regency era these brass trees make their way into today’s interiors bringing prestige to any type of home decor style.  Sometimes these gilt trees are floor lamps as in the case of Daphne Guinness’s home where a 1950’s Jansen palm-tree floor lamp graces the entry.  In other cases however they are simply decorating pieces as in the Hell’s Kitchen apartment of Cathy Lerebours, which I helped decorate.  She found the gilt palm-tree at an auction.  Take a look below at some homes with metal trees as decorating objects.
