Sexy model Alessandra Ambrosio announced the arrival of summer with a casual, breezy, dressed-down style. She was out in Los Angeles to grab lunch with her friends at the Ivy in Beverly Hills, in denim cut-off shorts and a casual gray tee. Smart sunglasses, a Hermès Birkin bag, and bright red nails added to her free-spirited look. But what actually completed her ready-for-summer look were those super stylish ankle-strap suede gladiator sandals from Salvatore Ferragamo, Spring 2011 collection – and accentuated her endless legs.
