What one item would you splurge on for the summer?

“This is a tough question! I always have my eye on something, however, it takes me a while to actually pull the trigger. If I was to choose a piece right now, I would have to say, the Hermes Oran Sandal. They are classic, the perfect summer sandals, and a piece that will be a part of my closet forever. They will never go out of style!”
