Whether you’re feeling flirty, sexy, or carefree this Summer, there is definitely a shoe to fit your mood!  Summer footwear doesn’t have to mean boring flip flops – your Summer Sandals can be just as smokin’ hot as your stilettos with the following trends for 2010!   Ladies, turn up the heat for the dog days ahead because Summer Sandals have arrived!

Exotic Beaded Sandals

Sandals with global inspiration are the hottest trend this season!  It’s all about embellishments here; from ethnic beads, colorful stones, metallic medallions, chains, and chunky adornments.  Take a cue from Sarah Jessica Parker and the gals of Sex and the City 2, and add some glam to your Summer wardrobe with these striking sandals.  From fierce gladiators to sexy high heels and wedges, this trend definitely makes a statement!

 Romantic Details

Love is in the air this Summer with flirty romantic sandals!  Feminine touches like dainty flowers and delicate ruffles add elegance to any outfit, whether you’re pretty in pink or casual in shorts and a tee.  Hollywood stars like Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift love to dress up their basics with romantic sandals, peep toe flats, and wedges.  Top off your look with a simple flower in your hair and you’ll be sweet from head to toe!

Neutral Nudes 

Time to go Au Natural!  If you have to invest in one pair of shoes this season, I would suggest the ultra versatile Neutral Nudes!  From strappy gladiators to peep toe pumps, these shoes will go with EVERYTHING in your closet!  Celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Sienna Miller have known the secret of nude heels for years and now, you will too – find a pair of neutral nudes to match your skin tone and instantly you have longer, leaner, and sexier legs!  What could be better than that?!
