Friday Shoe Day: Spring-tastic!

For everyone pining away for Spring I will bring you all the colors of Spring that you can't wait to see. I've brought you shoes in every color (practicaly) and I want you to be open about the colors. Don't think, "What could I wear with that orange shoe?" Think, "That could look cute with a eyelet sundress and sunglasses...or in my case, a pair of jeans and a hoodie.
Onward:

May as well dive right in and go straight for the orange shoe. This design is by NA NA and her name is "Pryor." She is made of soft supple leather and has the cutest lightest ribbon weaving in and out and finishing with a slight bow. So perfect for your feet, it's such a happy shoe. It's not super intense, yes I do realize that it is orange but it's not like neon orange. You could get these now and it could be like a little bit of "Spring crack" for your sense's. All you have to do to realize that the snow and rain will end is to look to your feet adorned with this yummy orange flat. Then think of all the ways to wear it: t-shirt and jeans, bermudas and a white button down, a fun circle skirt with a neutral tee, spring dress, with your swim suit etc. You CAN make an orange show work...especially if you're a beaver fan and it works even better if you live in Corvallis, every girl you see will want these. Pryor is only $70.

Onto my most expensive shoe...and it's not even a shoe it's a sandal that hardly covers any part of your foot. I only chose this sandal because it really is ready for spring and summer weather and it had all the colors of the rainbow...and it was ridiculously priced. This is "Anette" by Cynthia Vincent. Honestly I've already mentioned why I like it, it's super colorful and so nicely adorned with all the jewels it's a sandal that could really make any foot look rich. Of course since it's not covering much of your foot at all...you probably should only wear this if you have cute feet...no bunions, cracked heels or weird shaped toes...sorry, usually I don't discriminate against feet but this sandal will point out every flaw your feet have. Anette is $235.
When I first saw this show I loved it! I love the color...for those of you who don't know my favorite color is green and I love this green it is so bright and fun and shiny. Plus the cut outs are hot right now. I first thought, honestly, what could I wear these with? Flats are pretty easy to pair, even if they are a bright color but, this is a semi dress shoe, what with the heel and all and it is a unique color. It's got the laser cut details, it's 100% metallic leather, and even the 3 1/2" heel is covered in leather; it also has the gold contrast for a semi color blocking feel(color blocking is in too). So these are the outfits I made up in my head: a camel colored pencil skirt with a white button up, spring dresses in these colors: pink, turquoise, camel, black, lilac and white, also would look cute poking out underneath some trouser cut jeans...dark wash. There you have it, also I was so way off saying that Anette was the most expensive, Jean-Michel Cazabat over did himself with "Oria" and she's a stunning $525. That's almost rent.

This next shoe is by Rampage and her name is "Ophelia." Me-ow! I love it. Ophelia is in this stuning shade of cobalt blue and it's breath taking...it's definetly the color I wish the sky was right about now...sigh. Ophelia is done up in this crinkle patent and stuning bow, I love that it looks like it was made to be there...ok that sounds stupid, of course it was made to be there but some bows look like they were glued on, this one looks so purposeful, I love it. These baby's are only $50! I was tempted to buy them but they are already out of my size...which is shocking, obviously more people in the world have giant feet than I thought, they're out in size 7 too! You better get on the ball if you want these cobalt beauties, they come in red and black too.



Last but not least my lemon drop dream. This is "Buttercup" by Mia. Isn't she super retro, love it. Now this is a bright shoe, a sunshine yellow that has me dreaming of days of yore (anyone ever seen that Friends episode?). Anyway, Buttercup has these fab button details and this patent glow, ahhh, warm weather, I can almost feel the sunshine. Again, this shoe can go with whatever, so cute, love the peep toe, this little lady can not wait for warmer weather and neither can I...I think we were made for one another...Buttercup is only $70. Unfortunetly I'm not the only one craving a little buttercup, she's already sold out in my size (yet another sad face) but she does come in black, boo on rain.


Well I hope it's gotten a little warmer where you're at...even if it's in your head. Happy Spring shopping...even if it's online while you drink hot cocoa, I invite you to feel the the spirit of the new spring arrivals all over the internet...no purchase necessary.

those orange ones are my favorite! And seriously...why are those shoes $200 bucks when I could glue some cheap jewels on a shoestring and it would look exactly the same?! The most ridiculous thing I have ever seen....honestly.

Excellent choices for the week. We had a bit of sunshine here today, and these shoes really topped off my desire for a nice pedicure and new pair of sandals.

I'm going to recommend reading Fantasy Shoe Friday on my blog. I think I've already told you how much Jason enjoys it, so I have a feeling SAHMs all over would as well. I fully think your shoe posts should be picked up by a major fashion magazine, so maybe this will help! (What, I never told you that I have an in at Vogue?)
