Heel Candy

Hunting & Gathering

As the mercury rises this summer, you’ll doubtless see anklets popping up above the heels of everyone from your teenage niece to your personal accountant. A sophisticated version dwells at The Sand Dollar, a Bradenton Beach gift store where the décor resembles a mermaid’s cavern—if Princess Ariel were ever considering going into retail, this would be her spot. The Sand Dollar’s anklet offerings range from bold, jangling silver bells to more subtle designs featuring sea-glass beading. The pieces are just $7–$10, so stocking up on a whole bunch won’t set you back too many clams. Take note: ankle bracelets are no longer beach-only attire. After making appearances on the runway this season (see Calvin Klein and Chloé’s Spring 2016 ready-to-wear shows), the trend quickly caught on with celebrities like Jessica Alba, Behati Prinsloo and Taylor Swift. Whether you’re about to hit the beach or Michael’s on East, wearing one (or more) of these anklets is a subtle nod to Sarasota’s coastal vibe.
