Sandal Season
Mar, 22, 2009
Posted byFor those of us that have seasonal weather, Spring is a favorite time of the year.
Not because of the flowers blooming and all that, which is nice, but it’s also a symbol of a change in the footwear seasons too.
Although its still a few weeks away before we’re in official “sandal weather” for some, the time to start shopping for sandals is definitely here. A few possibilities you might like to see.
The ‘Rayna Heel’ by Marciano has elasticized straps at the open-toe and at the ankle, and bronze studs on the T-strap, with a petite ¼ inch platform, and a 4 ¼ inch stiletto heel. About US$220 or £150
You’ve probably seen this next style on the red carpet worn by lots of celebs within the last year. The ‘Martiny Heel’ by Steve Madden features a leather upper with an open-toe, cut-outs all along the sides, a heel counter zip, and a 4 inch stiletto heel. They retail for about US$120 or £85, but can you put a price on feeling like a fashionista?
If a platform sole is more your thing (or you could use an extra inch or two like me) you’ll probably like the ‘Minsy’ by BCBGirls. It’s decorated with jewels encrusting a black satin upper with an open-toe, t-strap, and has an ankle strap. The 1/2 inch platform and 4 ¼ inch stiletto heel sell for about US$99 or £70.
This would be my short list of literally hundreds of shoes I fell in love with, and this list has been trimmed many times. Now is the most difficult task of all – to pick just 2 pairs. Why only 2? That’s all for now, and I need some flats too!
