Nothing says summer like a new pair of flip-flops. So it's no surprise they're among our favorite things to shop for. Check out our picks, and you're sure to get psyched to go find your own.

• The best bargain we could find: Old Navy's flower-adorned raffia pair ($9.50).

• We love the Gap's sweet light-blue model ($16.50). . .

• . . . and Rocketdog's striped pair ($38 at Bloomingdale's).

• Bisou Bisou's cute cork style is a bit more dressed up ($40 at Bloomingdale's).

• For a festive but subtle statement, try Anthropologie's painted-sole version ($48).
