Stepping Into Spring In Mesh Shoes

{ 3.1 Phillip Lim }

On this first day of spring, I present one of the hottest shoe trends of the season ~ the mesh shoe. It's the ballet flat that is all the rage, but mesh can be found in every type of shoe. This footwear edit is clearly chic with a style for every budget.

Spring Shoe Trend:  The Micro Heel

Kitten Heels That Are Purr-fect For Fall

{ Via: Bergdorf Goodman }

Two things I love: a kitten heel and a slingback. They are both trending this season. Lucky me. Today's post features the "kitten heel," and if we are lucky some of them will be have a sling strap. Pick a pair of these polished pumps!

Sam Edelman Fitzgerald Heels

Perfect pointy toe heels that you can actually walk in. Afforable, too.

Anthropologie

Bibi Lou Robyn Heels

Loving this black and mustard motif. It will really add a pop oof pattern and color to black and grey. But there are several  other shades. Under $200

Anthropologie

Manza Kitten Heel

This shoe had me at that little gold heel. And then there is that under $100 price. The finishing touch is that this little pump also comes in wide sizes. 

Macy's

The Dimes Kitten Heel Boot 

Made with a cloud like padding, these kittens purr with sleek style.

With the look of a spectator, these retro inspired heels have a modern appeal. I think they are quite chic.

Anyone else looking forward to wearing boots again? A quiet weekend ahead for us, and I am not complaining. Let's wrap up the week with these lovely links.

Speaking of Boots.....a friend of mine, Candice, brought to my attention these Charles David Mesh Booties. They are sexy and perfect for a night out on the town.

As I have mentioned before, I love the Varley  brand for cool lounge and activewear. Picked up this little dress for lounging when it gets cooler. Love the zippers! I plan to wear it with leggings. Now half price at Zappos.

so far.

Nordstrom has some beautiful buys on skincare, makeup, and fragrance. There's lots of Clinique!
