Yes, I did go downtown for a bit of Fiesta this week though I don't like crowds. The silver lining was purchasing these sandals by Global Girls. I'd been coveting them for years, but their relatively high price tag kept me from getting them. But in the spirit of Fiesta (I know that's a weak excuse), I finally caved in. They are gorgeous, handmade sandals and support a very worthy cause (see Global Girls goals below).
