I wasn’t sure whether to go with the side view or top view to showcase the Roberto Cavalli Acetate Flower Sandals, but since the party is on top when it comes to these flat summer stunners, the top view seemed most appropriate. Despite my sometimes-unfortunate penchant for leopard print, I tend to be a bit of a hater when it comes to all things Cavalli, but I can’t help but enjoy these shoes. Check out the side view after the jump.

Acetate flowers like these have developed into something of a footwear microtrend, with everyone from Blumarine to Nicholas Kirkwood sprucing up their kicks with a few plastic blooms. If you like your footwear with a healthy dose of whimsy, this is a trend that you should hop on immediately; it’s not for the faint of heart, but a good shoe can turn your foot into a technicolor topiary in exactly the right kind of way.
