Fashionable shoes that fit your style!

Although flats and flip-flops are our friends, having a great pair of shoes is essential to complete a great outfit.  Lucky for us designers have created a variety of shoes that will spruce up any of our spring outfits!

Pointed Toe Cap

This season designers gave the feminine pointed toe a powerful twist with a metallic toe cap.  The pointed toe is appealing to the feminine figure because it elongates the leg, and the metal toe cap is practical as it prevents from scuffs.  These yellow and metallic heels from Zara are a flirty way to embrace the trend.

Espadrilles

This season espadrilles are colored in neutral tones or tribal textiles.  The more practical and classic of the two is neutral toned espadrilles, which flatter the figure and provide a streamlined silhouette.  These neutral toned wedges by Steve Madden are supportive and stylish for your summer bohemian style.

Lacing adds personality to a pair of shoes and ultimately to your outfit.  These shoes are great styled with fun colorful socks underneath or barefoot when the weather warms up.  These laced shoes by Joan & David are a sophisticated and sweet way to pull of the laced up trend.
