Rainbow Brights

This season it’s all about having fun with colour, and the best way to make your outfit pop is to wear vibrant hued shoes. Team these with a contrasting outfit for maximum impact. Imagine oranges with purples, pinks with blues; there are no rules so have a bit of fun with your look. Eye popping shoes will also look great with spring/summer’s print trend. But to create a more subtle, sophisticated style pair bright shoes with black or neutral tones.

Animal Print

This print is a style classic and one well worth investing in. But with animal print wear with caution, as wearing too much of it can make you look cheap. The great thing about opting for animal print shoes is they’re a much more understated way to nail this trend. Popular animal prints for spring/summer are leopard print and zebra print. But for something a bit different and more fashion forward look out for ladies shoes in neon animal print and big cat spots.

Wedges

These are the top style for spring/summer. And with so many variations, you’ll discover everything from espadrilles to flatforms and sky high platforms. With such a wide range of shoes to choose from there’s one to suit every style and personality. Nail two trends in one and brighten up your wardrobe by opting for eye popping rainbow shades, or even animal prints such as snake or leopard print.

Whether you opt for shoes or wedges in rainbow brights or animal prints, remember that new season trends needn’t break the bank! Ladies shoes are an inexpensive and effortless way to update your new season wardrobe.

Comfort and Style

Foldable flats are usually made to look about as chic as the heels you need to peel off your feet at the end of a long day (or night). The flats are generally very thin soled so it is almost like you are walking barefoot.

Discreet and Functional

These versatile little shoes usually come with a little bag or satchel to carry them. This means you can double it as a purse or clutch to carry your essentials. The handy little bag makes it simple and easy to carry around these extra shoes, instead of slipping old flip-flops into an oversized bag.

Who Doesn’t Love Flats

These shoes are wearable everyday. They can be a basic shoe in your wardrobe, giving them multiple uses.

Brands and Prices

Damn Heels is one of the first companies to come up with the foldable flats idea. Their flats come in three colours (black, gold and silver) and a wide array of sizes (5-12). They also come with a little pouch that can be slipped into any purse. Damn Heels run for $20 and can be shipped all over the world. Some of the most well known brand names have come out with a foldable flat including Gap’s City Flats. These come with a cute little bag, and are available in new colours every season and line. They run for $39.50 in store and online.

With many colours and styles to choose from, discomfort from heels can be a thing of the past. According to my feet,  fun and flirty foldable flats are here to stay!

Why Designer Shoes?

Of course we’re all trying to be money-conscious these days. None of us wants to spend any more than we have to on anything. Are designer shoes really worth the extra money that you spend? Most women have more than one pair of shoes. After all, there are so many occasions that call for different types of shoes that one or two pairs never suffice. Your entire collection doesn’t have to consist of designer shoes, but having at least one pair of beautiful designer shoes from one of the big-name designers is a must. Designer shoes hold up better than some of the cheaper brands and they are made to capture attention and bring out the best in any outfit.

Looking for Designer Shoes? Think Italian

Some of the Italian designers create some of the quintessential designer shoe collections. Companies, like Gucci and Prada are among the leaders in putting out exquisite shoes that not only look good, but are constructed from the highest quality materials. If you haven’t yet dipped your toes into the water in regards to buying your first pair of designer shoes, you can’t go wrong with either of these companies. Of course, there are design companies all over the world that create wonderful pieces of footwear, but starting with a brand like Gucci or Prada, is a great place to start. Add some elegance to your shoe collection with a brilliant pair of designer shoes today. You won’t believe how great you’ll look and feel in a pair of high-end designer shoes.

Here are some shoe care tips that every woman should know.

• Polish your leather shoes on a regular basis. Keeping your leather shoes polished not only makes them look good, it also protects them from drying out and cracking. Polish is like a shield for your leather shoes, to keep them looking great and to protect them from premature aging.
• Be sure to weatherproof all of your suede shoes. Suede is delicate and can be difficult to clean. If you are at all unsure of how to best clean and protect you suede shoes, take them to a professional to get them cleaned and treated. Suede shoes are so beautiful that you don’t want to take any chances. The few bucks that you will spend taking them to a pro is definitely worth it.
• For your every day shoes; your walking shoes, tennis shoes, etc., be sure to keep them clean by washing them regularly. Some of your canvas shoes can be thrown in the washing machine. Other styles may need to be hand washed. A good idea is to rotate your shoes that you wear on a regular basis. That will help you to get some extra mileage out of them.

You spend a lot of time and money finding the right shoes. Be sure to take care of every pair to get the most out of all your efforts. You never know when that one pair of shoes that you haven’t put on in a while will be the perfect choice for the outfit you are wearing. Take steps to ensure that all your shoes are ready to be worn in cases like this. There’s nothing worse than pulling out the perfect pair only to find them cracked and damaged from lack of care.
