On March 17, 2017, Hilary Duff was photographed running errands in Santa Monica wearing a relaxed off-duty outfit built around a pair of braided Ancient Greek Sandals “Eleftheria” flats.
The sighting offers a snapshot of how minimalist leather sandals became a celebrity staple for casual dressing, pairing easily with skinny jeans, knitwear, and everyday accessories.

The Lizzie McGuire actress was spotted walking to her car carrying a package with one arm, and of course, we had to wonder what was in it.

The mom-of-one put a classy spin on her casual look with a pair of Fendi sunglasses, gold jewelry, a Louis Vuitton “Speedy Bandouliere 30 World Tour” tote (which has adorable faux patches on its classic monogrammed leather), and the no-nonsense braided “Eleftheria” flats by Ancient Greek Sandals.

We know Hilary is dedicated to the gym, so we don’t think the box gives her any trouble. As for the content, we took to her Instagram for clues.
Just a day after she was spotted out, the actress posted about a new mattress that arrived in a “tiny little box” and “just fluffed up” right before her eyes. If we got that right, that’s one fantastic mattress indeed.
