I am gladiator

Hola, chicas and chicos! Physically, I'm back from last week's vacation in Mexico. But in my dreams, I'm still sipping a margarita on the deck of a catamaran, watching the whales swim past — "Oh, Johnny, I'm about ready for more sunscreen..." (Well, Johnny Depp wasn't there, per se, but the rest actually happened.)

I'm clearly still in sun & surf mode — so that might explain why I'm drooling over Piperlime's strappy, bright spring sandal collection.

Who doesn't need a pair of Cynthia Vincent's chartreuse gladiator sandals?

At $200, these "flip-flops" are a bit of a budget bummer. May I also suggest the more wallet-friendly Sam Edelman Gigi 'dals:

If you're wary about the whole neon revival, these chic picks are an easy way to inject color into your spring and summer wardrobe without channeling the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." Take heed: They go best with a tan and a pedicure. See you at the beach... in five months... sigh.
