"If I recall correctly, the Melissa Shoe company uses some special process to make their "plastic" extremely durable and bubble-gum scented. They also got some fancy schmancy Spanish architect brothers to design a capsule collection for them. I guess that means that you really ought to consider these jelly sandals, even if you live in the jelly-sandal-warping Sunbelt like me. (Use code SRTN fo..."

This would also be a great gift for the expectant mother. I'll bet most people don't eve..."
