Summer Is Here!

When you hear the world “summer”, what picture comes to you? Yes, summer is the lake, flowers, fresh-cut grass and ice cream, but when I think of summer, the image that comes to mind is new sandals and brightly coloured toe nails. Throw in a toe ring or two for good measure, and maybe an ankle bracelet.

Sandals just don't look right if the toes they are displaying are missing bright nail polish. The combination of sandals and nail polish is perfect on women of all ages - from little girls, to grown women to seniors. One of the details I loved the most in the movie "Titanic" was the scene wherein the "old" Rose was standing on the edge of the ship in her bare feet - with brightly painted red toe nails! How perfect was that! Those brightly coloured toes spoke volumes, without anyone saying a word. I love that scene because of her red toe nails!

            I know it seems trivial, but summer has officially arrived when we drag our sandals out of our closets (or buy a new pair) after a long winter of warm socks and heavy boots.  Our feet have been hidden away for months and we are finally able to give them a little freedom.   Memories of those long winter months (excruciatingly long this year) are quickly forgotten as new footwear and polished toe nails emerge.  Whether it is in flip flops or high-heeled sandals, summer is celebrated and acknowledged through what we wear on our feet!

            Sandals and polished toe-nails . . . it’s a good thing!
