Spring 2011 Shoe Preview

The newest shoe trends for Spring 2011 will literally knock your socks off! After months of hibernating and piling on the layers, the hottest styles for Spring are both bold and carefree. Whatever your mood, one thing to look forward to is that all the Spring trends are reminiscent of 1970’s fashion. If you love this hippie and disco chic era of fashion, you’re going to love what’s in store!  Shed those winter boots ladies because it’s just about time to show some serious skin!

Cage Strap Wedges

The sexy confidence of bold cage straps combine with the comfort of a wedge heel to make the hottest shoe for Spring 2011! As much as fashionistas love their sky high heels and platforms, there’s nothing like a solid wedge that gives you the stability to stand tall for hours at a time. Drawing inspiration from the gladiator shoe booties of Fall 2010, cage straps wedges are the perfect way to transition your shoe style for the warmer months ahead. For Spring, cage strap wedges in leather and suede will be the new go to shoe – great with everything from a flirty dress to sophisticated suit.

Boho Neutrals

The boho inspired styles for Spring are cool and relaxed, reminiscent of the free spirits of the 1970’s! Strappy sandals, wedges, and espadrilles have always been Spring staples, but this year neutral color palettes are king – from subtle tans and soft metallics to warm camels and rich shades of brown. Natural fibers such as cork and jute, along with woven straps and accents add to the bohemian vibe. Wood based soles are also making a strong comeback, giving these hippy chic shoes a bold edge. Aside from being ever so versatile, these boho neutrals also have that lovely leg lengthening effect. Taking a cue from my favorite shoe trend of 2010, the nude pump, these sandals will make your limbs look amazing all the way through Summer!

Disco Color Block

The vibe for Spring 2011 has officially returned to the 1970’s with retro glam inspired color block heels, platforms and wedges! Causing a colorful stir on the fashion runways were models rockin’ disco chic platforms that’d be perfect for a night at Studio 54. The bold combinations of colors command attention and are an easy way to dress up even the most blasé outfit. For a casual look, spice up your jeans and tee with some two tone sandals for a fun pop of color. Or, go all out and dress the part of a dancing queen by pairing one of the season’s vintage inspired frocks with some daring color block platform pumps!
