Why Every Girl Needs A Pair Of Jack Rogers

Jack Rogers, commonly referred to as "Jacks", are a staple in every girl's closet. Whether it's the classic sandal that started it all or a pair of leather booties, Jacks are an essential item in anyone's wardrobe. From the sound of the wooden heels slapping the ground to the comfort of sliding them on after a long day, there is no shoe quite like Jack Rogers.

1. They match EVERYTHING

Jack Rogers come in a huge array of colors, designs, and styles to keep up with your everyday style. For example, I have worn the same pair of sandals with jeans, my prom dress, and athletic shorts (all within the same week). They have flip flops, they have booties, they have rain-boots, they have tennis shoes, they have heels. so basically if you can find an outfit that Jacks don't go with, please let me know.

2. Jackie Kennedy wore them

While First Lady Kennedy was away on holiday, she discovered the classic Jack Rogers sandal. She then brought them back to Palm Beach. Obviously, anything Jackie wore everyone wanted thus creating a huge amount of popularity for the sandal.

3. They inspire dedication.

Any girl who has ever worn Jacks can tell you: it takes serious dedication to break in these bad boys. The sole of the shoe is wooden, therefore there is no traction on the bottom when you walk. I made the mistake of not breaking the bottoms in before wearing them on slick floors. Pro tip: when you wear a new pair for the first time, scrape them across the rough concrete to create a little traction on the bottom. (Yes, it ruins the pretty bottoms but who really wants to fall?) When the time comes and you finally see the little, dark toe and heel spots on the shoe, you feel a sense of pride for finally breaking these things in.

4. You can customize them

If you can't find a pair with the colors you want, have no fear! You can customize a pair with the exact colors you want. You can also get your sandals monogrammed (perfect for weddings).

5. They make Jacks for every holiday!

Need green on St. Patty's Day? They have sandals with four leaf clovers on top. Need red, white and blue in July? They have a pair with the American flag. Are you in the Valentine's Day Spirit? Well, there's a pair with hearts on them just for you.


6. They will never go out of style

Originally started in the 1960s, Jack Rogers has been thriving and will continue thriving long after our time. You just as well hop on the bandwagon now and enjoy the bliss of wearing nice flip flops on the daily.

7. They make them for babies

Literally, just get ready to see the cutest little shoes ever. (They even make matching mommy-daughter Jacks)


As a proud owner of three pairs of Jacks (two of which are custom), I highly

recommend them to anyone. Jack Rogers shoes will fit perfectly into your daily life, especially if you live in the South where it is summer all year long. "A pop of color, an unexpected detail, a feeling of coming home...no matter where you are, that's Jack Rogers." (Jackrogersusa)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
