Stella is all about her Sperry Top-Siders...

Stella never hesitates to add a lil preppy to her classic yet eclectic style. She loves anything crisp white, navy, plaid or pleated, and will use any excuse to dress like totally nautical, especially when she's sailin'. You know, because she goes sailin' all the time w/ her yacht folk. Ok, not reaaaaaaallly (she doesn't know any yacht folk) but she does go boatin'...like a lot. Ok, it was just this one time, and it was more like a booze cruise really. Anyway, word to the wise...boatin' + boozin' + 3 inch heels = a walkin' disaster.

That's right...Stella learned her lesson and will never wear heels on a boat again! Well, unless it's like a huge yacht where there's a ramp to get on and off from, and the chances of her fallin' or gettin' wet are pretty slim...because then maybe she needs to wear a cute lil navy party dress, gold jewelry, white or gold heels that make her legs look amaaaazing, and perhaps a lil sailor hat (what? she needs to dress the part). Ok, back to the point (boat + booze + heels = disaster)...Stella needs a casual yet styin' shoe she can wear sailin' (or booze cruisin'). She needs a spicy pair of Sperry Top-Siders...

She needs the Women's Authentic Original 2-Eye Patent for some extra perennial spice (they come in white too)...


She needs the Women's Plaid Bahama (no relation to Tommy)...


Sperry Top-Siders are Stella's favorite preppy shoe in her casual shoe selection. Created in 1935, the Authentic Original is the blueprint for the American boat shoe, and the cornerstone of classic Nautical style. Stella can wear them for everyday or if she's ever cruisin' in the Land of Wasp (Nantucket and The Hamptons) she'll have the perfect shoe for when newly friended folk invite her to go sailin' (because they will invite her to go sailin'). Seriously, Sperry Top-Siders are a solid investment - they're reasonably priced ($50) and they'll never go out of style (pretty groovy huh).
