But she noticed something a little different about summer sandals this weekend because rather than wearing dainty feminine styles, most divas were showcasing this season’s hottest designs…gladiator sandals! Yes ladies, gladiator sandals were everywhere this weekend. From flat and high heel gladiator sandals to metallic and leather gladiator sandals, everywhere you went there they were!

So since it seems that gladiator sandals are definitely here to stay, here’s a selection of the gladiator sandals at Viva La Diva.

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

The Diva was thrilled to find out that 2010 is the Year of the Tiger, what could be more fabulous than a year centred around one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet?!

The Tiger is brave and couragous, and people born in the Year of the Tiger are natural leaders, charasmatic, have individual style, are impulsive spenders and love all things sparkling…that certainly sounds like a rather fabulous diva!

Bring out your feline self with these cat inspired boots and handbags at Viva La Diva. We simply adore Ciccia bags and purses that have really sweet cat designs, while Irregular Choice boots and bags like the ever popular Irregular Choice Whimsical Miaow Boots have a more funky twist.
