Flatform Sandals

This first trend can take your footwear rotation to new heights, sans pain and the awkwardness of high heels. Flatform sandals—that is, platform sandals that have flat bottoms—are a bold, fun way to spice up a twirly sundress or your favorite denim cutoffs, and Amazon is flush with options for every preference. The retro-inspired crochet Hey Dude Delray Buckle Sandals, $50, would look gorgeous with a pair of flare jeans are a warm weather solution for those who dress on the edgier side, while the Crocs Women's Brooklyn Low-Wedge Sandal, $42, would look great with jean shorts and a tank for a casual vibe.

Ahoy! The next trending summer sandal style on our list is nautical by nature, but you don't have to own a boat to jump on this bandwagon. Fisherman sandals are making waves this season. The versatile silhouette suits any aesthetic and can easily be dressed up or down, making it a no-fuss travel sandal. Comfy versions from some of our favorite footwear brands—including Sorel, Dr. Scholl's, and Sam Edelman—are seriously discounted at Amazon this month.

Strappy Beach Sandals

Step aside, flip-flops: Strappy sandals are our new beach go-tos. Surf and sand can make it easy to slip out of thong-style sandals, but strappy sandals do a better job at keeping your feet in place. You may have seen the Crocs Miami Toe Loop Strappy Sandals pop up on your social media feeds; these now-viral strappy sandals are comfy, simple, and go with just about everything. Amazon has hundreds of other budget-friendly options worth checking out, though, including Dream Pairs Women's Flat Strappy Sandal, now $15, and Goosesecret Women's Platform Beach Sandal, now $19.

Espadrille Wedge Sandals
Amazon
Wedge-style sandals are hardly a new summer shoe trend, but this year, we've been spotting more and more wedges of the espadrille-specific variety. Espadrille wedges, which typically have canvas uppers and thick midsoles covered with jute rope, add a beachy touch to travel dresses and matching sets, making them one of our favorite dressy sandal trends this summer. Score designer Coach Espadrille Wedge Platform Sandals while they're $87 off, or scoop up LifeStride Kimmie Wedge Espadrille Sandals while they're as low as $45—a generous 44 percent off the original price.

Leather Flat Sandals
Amazon
Another sandal trend that's been gracing our social media feeds is the laser-cut leather flat sandal. Two of the most iconic iterations include the Hermès Oran sandal, $840, and the Tory Burch Miller sandal, $198—but Amazon has hundreds of designer-inspired styles for a fraction of the price. These Artrotter Beach Sandals, for example, capture the same simple elegance of the aforementioned Oran sandal, but are just $16. We think these Tommy Hilfiger Litzy Flat Sandals, 50 percent off, are just as chic as the Tory Burch version.
Dream Pairs Women's Dressy Flat Slide
Amazon
Stylish Orthopedic Sandals
Amazon
Who says comfortable sandals can't also be chic? Trends come and go, but supportive footwear never goes out of style; and this summer, we're spotting fashion-forward orthopedic sandals that look as good as they'll feel. The flexible, shock-absorbing Vionic Women's Mar Sandals, previously $135, are a steal at $60. And you'd never guess these handsome men's criss-cross slides from FitFlop, 26 percent off, are orthopedic shoes—but they've received the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance. That's just the beginning, though. Keep scrolling for more stylish orthopedic sandals, starting at $25.

Liza Colón-Zayas was taught that leading ladies have to be 'tall and bony and blond and perfect.' Her Emmy for 'The Bear' says otherwise.
While she's stepping into her role, the actress won't be going too Hollywood: "I don't want Mar-a-Lago face." Liza Colón-Zayas spent decades carving out her place in an industry that doesn't often make space for women who look like her. At 53, the Bronx native is stealing scenes in The Bear and earning awards — all while reshaping the definition of a leading lady. The Afro-Latina actress brings equal parts heart and grit to the role of Tina Marrero, a line cook in Carmy's kitchen at the restaurant at the center of the FX series, now four seasons strong. Colón-Zayas recently earned her second Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series after becoming the first Latina to win the award in 2024 — and besting legends Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett to boot. The fact that this career breakthrough is happening in her 50s isn't lost on her, nor is the reality that she doesn't fit the typical mold of what Hollywood has long deemed marketable. And yet, here she is blazing her own path, embracing the moment and staying true to the 'Bronx girl' she's always been. 'Showing up on set of The Bear is living the dream,' she tells me during our conversation for Yahoo's Unapologetically series. Looking back, Colón-Zayas wishes she had been kinder to herself during times when she didn't reach the professional milestones she'd hoped for, even as she steadily worked as an actress for over 30 years. 'You do this thing where you're like, Oh, if you're not this by 30 [then you aren't enough]. In hindsight, I think: Wow, I was still a kid,' she says. 'Then you get past 50, and you don't give a damn.' That's not entirely true — Colón-Zayas views herself as a 'work in progress' and is committed to 'not [being] afraid of not being good at things.' It's with that spirit that she's forging ahead in Hollywood, embracing her journey as a latecomer who's armed with knowledge and experience and resisting pressure to change herself. You received over 1,000 rejections for TV and film roles before . What helped you to keep believing in yourself? [Acting is] my passion. I knew I had something. And I have guardian angels who would remind me [along the way, which] kept me going. You didn't have a moment where you thought: No, no. I had to alter the fantasy of what it was going to look like. But I knew I had something. I knew I could channel something. [Besides,] I didn't have any other skills. ... I wasn't good at business or math, so I had to make this work. [In between jobs] I did a lot of temping. [Then] I became a teaching artist, and with that, I was able to fulfill reaching people and using my acting skills. That kept me going. You've said you don't look like a leading lady. What does one look like to you, and do you think the idea of the leading lady has shifted at all? Yes, it has shifted — but not enough. For me growing up, there really wasn't anybody [onscreen] who looked like me — probably well into the 2000s. And I don't know that I am a leading lady. To me, a leading lady was like: You're tall and bony and blond and perfect — and I just didn't see that. So I love not being a leading lady, actually. I like the character roles. They're juicier [and] far more interesting. I like messy. And now I'm getting these accolades and these trophies. It's not only about that — that's outside of my control — but people are paying attention [which is] necessary. People feel seen when they see me. Have you felt pressure to change yourself to fit Hollywood's long-standing ideals? I always feel pressured to fit into a Hollywood mold, to be thinner. ... Thankfully, I'm at an age that I can recognize the value of being a Bronx girl and embracing myself. That real art — the great writers and directors are looking for that. But I still struggle with it, I'm not gonna lie. As a Bronx girl, what are you unapologetic about? So many things. I am unapologetic about being tough and sometimes wilding out if I have to. It's survival. I'm not always demure. I was reading a profile on you in the New York Times, and it started with you opening the window of your Bronx home and yelling 'Shut up' down to the noisy people on the street below. I am trying to work on not being so reactionary, but if I get to that point, then I can't apologize for it. Clearly, you brought it upon yourself [laughs]. In talking about Tina's career path to Carmy's kitchen, you said that 'ageism is real.' What would you say to people who feel like the world wants them to disappear at a certain age? I was going to drop an F-bomb, but I won't because I'm working on these things [laughs]. But: No. Too bad. Deal with it. It's insane how we as a society want to discard all of this experience and wisdom and value. I had somebody walk up to me the other day and say, 'You should do fillers.' It was somebody I know, [but] not well. I thought, How sad for you that you have to say that to me. ... Why would you need to try to put that in my head? Who hurt you? It's not like it isn't already in my head, but, you know, I don't want Mar-a-Lago face. I want to look like me. It doesn't mean we can't take care of ourselves. But it's because I want to, not because I feel unlovable. I feel it's getting harder to resist the filler-obsessed world we're in. It's not to put down anyone who does. Listen, I dabble in things. But I would never tell anybody that, especially women [after] all of the pain that that has caused me [experiencing] looksism and ageism. And as I see how it backfires and it's like, Oh no, honey. I don't think that it's doing what you wanted it to do. I feel like [ageism] is real, but the only way to combat it is to dig deeper into loving and embracing ourselves. Tina often wears a basic, no-nonsense uniform. How does stepping onto a red carpet in full glam feel in contrast to that? The truth is, it can take its toll. I appreciate being celebrated and dressing up, and being appreciated by designers. But it's tough because I still have to rewire my brain because I don't fit a certain formula that I grew up with. So it's difficult for me to feel really comfortable in that lens. Plus, heels suck. You've appeared with your husband, David Zayas, in and on his show . What's it like to go to set with your real-life partner, and has the way you've worked together changed over the years? We've acted together for decades. We started out in the same theater company — that's how we met — so acting opposite him is the most natural thing. He's just so grounded. He's always supportive and encouraging me and trying to alleviate my doubts. And he's just so good at what he does. It's a joy. I love working with him. He absolutely, 1,000% is the best. You mentioned your grandchildren in your Emmy speech. What's that part of your life like? Oh, [my granddaughter and grandson] are amazing. My granddaughter is officially taller than me. She's 11 going on 40. Every time she visits, she would want to stand next to me and see how much [taller she had gotten]. And then ... boom. I was like, 'You happy now?' [Laughs] They're both so smart, and they're good kids, and they enjoy hanging out with the grandpapi and the grandma. We have fun. There's wisdom that gets passed down between generations. What's a lesson that you learned from your mother, who recently turned 87? To always look on the bright side. To just try to be joyful. Man, she's had a rough life and she doesn't sink into it. She always just wants to laugh and be encouraging and not let negativity affect her. I need to lean into that a whole lot more. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

The Owala FreeSip Is the Water Bottle I Swear By. It's Seeing a Major Discount for Back to School
Back-to-school deal: Owala is running a 20% back-to-school sale at both Owala and Target. My favorite water bottle, the 24-ounce Owala FreeSip, is on sale for just $24 in most colors. (The 32-ounce size is down to $28, and the 40-ouncer is just $30.) That's an impressive deal on a water bottle that rarely sees a discount. But you'll need to act fast since this back-to-school sale ends soon, and inventory is already running low in some colors. I never thought this day would come. But I have officially said goodbye to the Stanley cup. I'm a certified fitness fiend, and there's nothing I appreciate more after a hot workout than having an ice-cold drink. For years, the Stanley IceFlow was the perfect companion, and I took it along for thousands of digital miles in cycling classes. But those days are behind me. Now I'm a new woman with a new water bottle. Let me tell you how I got here. I didn't become an Owala fan overnight. The transformation took place over many months, as I noticed all of my friends couldn't stop raving about the Owala FreeSip. Here's what surprisingly converted me: My friends asked if I knew that you looked like a koala when you chug from the top. When I got mine, I immediately ran to the mirror to see if it was true. Yes, they were right. The Owala is easy to carry around, and its colors are cute and fun. I definitely gulp more than the average person when I drink water.

The Owala FreeSip is so easy to carry with you wherever you go and the water never spills. Minphy Liao/CNET The Owala FreeSip bottle is so convenient If you imagine a dog carrying their favorite toy in their mouth, that's me, except with this Owala bottle. I carry my Owala bottle everywhere. It follows me to work, the gym, out with friends, on trips, the shower... OK, maybe not the shower. The bottle is easy to hold with indents around the sides. It has an optional latch at the top to hang on your fingers whenever you're grabbing all the other things you carry with you at once. If you're a parent, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The best feature that hooked me is that you don't have to unscrew the lid to refill the Owala. The opening where you sip is wide enough to refill through without taking extra time to twist it on or off. For me, it's all about the path of least resistance. The top of the Owala FreeSip water bottle shows that you can chug or sip from the straw. Minphy Liao/CNET Owala FreeSip water bottle specs Capacity: 24, 32 or 40 ounces 24, 32 or 40 ounces Insulation: Double-wall stainless steel Double-wall stainless steel Chill time: Keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours Keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours Cleaning: Dishwasher-safe lid, hand-wash cup Dishwasher-safe lid, hand-wash cup Drink options: Large spout for swigging, built-in straw for sipping Why the Owala FreeSip makes a great gift Back-to-school season is underway.

California's ‘Souldies' Scene Puts a Fresh Spin on a Beloved Sound
On a pleasant Saturday night in late July, a predominantly Latino crowd assembled at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. Families arrived in matching flannels. Sunglasses stayed on past sundown. Couples slow danced in the aisles. They'd come for Oldies 2 Souldies, a nightlong concert spotlighting impassioned and yearning songs that ran like an old-school revue, with tight set times and minimal gaps between the acts. Thee Sinseers, a 10-piece from East Los Angeles, impressed with tailored suits and classic melodies. The singer Elvia Cadena displayed the power of her explosive voice. The spirited Los Yesterdays brought out a trio of students from Belmont High School to serve as its horn section. For over 60 years, a soft-touch style of soul music has traversed generations of Chicano culture in Southern California. It has provided the soundtrack to car club meet-ups, carne asadas, ball games, birthday parties and, yes, bedroom rendezvous. While many of the same songs have held down the stereo for decades, a fresh-faced wave of bands and singers has emerged, updating the tradition in hopes of creating future classics. The music has been called brown-eyed soul, Chicano soul, rolas or lowrider music; this latest incarnation, marked by a deep romanticism, is known as 'souldies.' The vocalists favor falsettos and sweet harmonies, singing about hope and heartbreak over sparse and breezy instrumentation. And now, with the help of labels like Penrose Records, it's beginning to catch on beyond Southern California. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
