Spring 2012 Trend Tip: Natural Elements

Spring/Summer 2012 is one of my favorite seasons in years. The colors are bright, the layers are soft, and almost anything goes. Through the explosion of color, shape, and texture a few major trends definitely began to stand out. One of the coolest trends in footwear is Natural Elements being added to all different styles of shoe.




Elie Tahari
Espadrilles are a popular choice every year but they are especially hot right now. I also like the way the leather wraps the foot on this one, it creates a subtle and casual bohemian appeal.



DVF (Diane Von Furstenberg)
An espadrille that is a little bit lower in terms of the heel but still high in style is a sure bet for running around town all summer. The pop of orange patent is very on trend for the season as well, and remember you don't have to match the color.



Pour La Victoire
This shoe has only been here a few days and they are almost gone. The snake texture is gorgeous and paired with this taupe color it is very neutral. This shoe also comes in a really pretty sea-foam color.



Bettye Muller
This one has several natural elements and all together they are beautiful. Raffia and cork are combined with white patent leather to create a very modern and sophisticated take on the summer spectator shoe.




Stuart Weitzman
Feathers! This simple sandal takes a whimsical and edgy turn when you add feathers to the heel and toe. In addition to being stunning this shoe supports a good cause. The proceeds from the "Stuart Weitzman: Young Hollywood Cares" collection benefit pioneering research in Ovarian Cancer.



Stuart Weitzman
Another Stuart Weitzman, but this one is entirely different than the last. This peep-toe slingback is made from a multi-color snake print leather with a lot of variation. Every pair looks different than the rest - you will have to come by and see what your pair looks like.
