Spring And Summer Shoe Edit

(Via Sunny Gu)

Today's post is inspired by Mother's Day. We girls have the "big shoes" of our own Moms that we must fill.  I hope that you all had a lovely day whatever you did. But now that the weather has warmed up for most of us, it is time to put the boots away (unless they are open toe booties) get a pedicure and a pretty pair of  new Spring shoes.

All Budgets

JENNI KAYNE

Leather Flats 

Metallic is huge for Spring and Summer. It just becomes a shiny neutral. That golden touch certainly elevates a white flat.

Forward By Elyse Walker

Goshdarn Open Toe Sandals
I can't get by in the warmer months without a shiny black sandal. It becomes my "go to" shoe. Love the metal chain detail. Click to see a great zipper in back, too.

Spring: It's In The Bag And Has Lots of Personality!

Bags, bags, bags, and more bags.  How do you choose this season? The one standout style on the runways at Spring 2014 fashion week was - personality!  The florals, feathers, chains, prints, patterns, neons, cork and clutches all made a statement.  This is not the year for your basic everyday bag.  Even that can be embellished.  One thing is for sure, the bags have shrunk and smaller is in.  What isn't small is the price tags. Ouch!  Do click on the Goodnight Macaroon Bag below, as that is a budget buy. Clutches are (and always have been to me) are the it bag, though totes exist - they pop with color or pattern.
