A stylish combination of two of my favorite brands, these are definitely on my summer wish list!  Not only are these flip flops comfortable, water resistant, and super chic, but they’re an affordable designer shoe that won’t break the bank.  Rock these iconic Missoni printed thongs with everything from a bikini and shorts to a maxi dress.  They’d also be the perfect shoe to pack for your summer getaway!  Look at the cute travel bag that comes with each purchase!
