To Love or Not to Love?! The Wedge Sneaker Trend
Apr 12th
Top to bottom: Dolce & Gabbana, See by Chloe, Giuseppe Zanotti
A vast array of high-end designers have jumped the shoes-wagon & created quite the selection of (mostly) wrapped high-heeled wedge sneakers for Spring 2012. From sporty to edgy, zipped to velcro-wrapped, loud to subdued, there’s pretty much a style for everyone this coming fashion season.
I’m partial to Giuseppe Zanotti‘s grey suede bedazzled pair, above & Ash‘s taupe/white sneaker, below. Nine West makes a pretty comparable pair for a fraction of the price of these haute styles too! Check ‘em out -> here. However, I think this season’s wedge sneaker is best worn under flared jeans to give a sneaky extra few inches to your legs 
Now, the question is: will you love or lose this trend?!

I Want! Zanotti’s Metallic Summer Splash
Apr 10th
A shopping gem of a shoe for Spring 2012! It’s metallic turquoise blue, it’s incredibly high (6.10 inches to be exact) & has me daydreaming of long walks by the seashore in San Tropez. Although realistically, I should be thinking more along the lines of of sporting these at some busy street intersection in Toronto, Canada. But I digress…
Did I mention that this pair of Giuseppe Zanotti shoes also happens to be incredibly sexy? The platform heel is so slick and anything but clunky with it’s feminine shape & sleek homage to the summery espadrille sandal. The thin ankle strap & peep-toe are just icing on this wedge cake!
Love, love, love the shoe. Not so much the price. $695 at Luisaviaroma.com.

Freak-Shoe Friday: A High Heel Mess
Apr 6th
Oh, where do I begin with this little gem of a high heel? Again, we seem to have a shoe with a slight multi-personality disorder. Must be a Shopbop thing.
Not sure how the designers at Opening Ceremony would have thought a distressed wooden heel, bumble bee raffia upper + blue enamel flower ankle strap could fit seamlessly together, but then again, I’d have one less Freak-Shoe Friday shoe to post. At least the floral motif & general shape do resonate 70s fashion (and we all know how much I love that decade’s aesthetic!).
Creative or catastrophic? You tell me.
That is all.

If the very thought of wearing knee-high rubber rain boots in the Spring makes you sweaty, then why not go for a lower version of the classic boot to keep your toes dry & in fashion during these April showers?
Take your pick this season from sporty looking rain footwear to designer rain-proof shoes. Is the vintage look more your style? No fret, you can find those too! There are so many different fashionable styles to choose from in stores & online right now, that your only dilemma will be deciding which one to select to adorn your feet
