Spring Trend Tip 4: Color Blocking

By now I am sure that everyone is clear on the fact that COLOR is what this Spring/Summer fashion season is all about. Color Blocking is obviously reliant on your clothing as well but I have assembled some of my favorite shoes to add some punch to your Spring look.

Giuseppe Zanotti 

Giuseppe never steers us wrong. This combination of cobalt and turquoise layered over a bold sandal is clearly a statement shoe, in the very best way.

Bettye Muller

This designer is feminine and fun and it shows in her work. A cut out wedge instantly updates this shoe but doesn't sacrifice any of the comfort you expect from your favorite espadrilles. It comes in blue too.

Chloe

The name Chloe is synonymous with fashion. This year instead of painting neon on everything they created a color scheme that plays perfectly with all of the bright statement colors. This periwinkle cross-body bag looks incredible with just about any color, from other blues to hot pinks to the splashy greens of the season.

 

Elie Tahari
I love this little orange sandal. Even in a year that isn't all about color blocking it would still be a fantastic piece to have. The orange is a surprisingly smooth compliment to every ones summer look.



Gastone Lucioli
A summer red seated on top of a cork wedge is the classic staple shoe for summer. Use it instead of black for a lighter look in warm weather months.

Now for the best part of this collection of summer looks: IT IS ALL ON SALE! Stop by soon and see these and so many more looks to add a little color in your life.

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.
