Thongs, sandals, flip flops - whatever you want to call them, they make perfect beachwear in the summer if you intend to actually head out onto the sand. This Dolce & Gabbana pair of summer 2007 flip flops is lightweight and made of cushy, stacked foam in layers of black, white and red or blue, depending on the overall color scheme of the sandal. “D&G Beachwear Fun Equipment for Summer 2007″ is printed on the sole, near the heel, of each sandal. They are available in a limited selection of mens’ sizes. Price: $85.

Possibly the tiniest functional purse I’ve see, this Mini Purse Key Ring from Bottega Veneta is worthy of Cute Overload. Attached to a 9-inch chain, the little purse is about 2″ high and made of soft, supple leather. It has a tiny clasp at the top, opening the bag to slip in a few well-folded bills or a couple of coins, and comes in both white and green. The chain also has a keyring and a belt hook, making it easy to attach and carry around with you. Price: $200.
