Trina Turk's archetypal style embodies everything California and Angeleno, so perhaps it wasn't surprising when models strutted out in sandals rather than stilettos at her spring/summer Fashion Week show. Burnished gold leather and funky grommets add a fun element to these Birkenstocks (and how about that striped pedicure!).

The thong style Gizeh Birkenstock is a favorite among the celebrity set, including designer Ashley Olsen. Un-fussy pieces like Olsen's breezy skirt and layered jackets pair perfectly with the effortless sandals.
