Summer Shoe Roundup: Trends We Liked

summer-trends-08.jpg

This Summer has seen an interesting fusion of new, old, and completely different. I think many of you will agree, some of the sensibility of shoe design has gone out of the window (see our post tomorrow on "Trends We Loathe"), but for the most part, this Summer's collections provided a breath of fresh air to a few tried and true designs.

Here are a few of the new trends we liked over the past few months:

  • Cage Heels: Our favorite trend from this Summer. We love the way these look with a pair of tights or scoop.
  • Super High Heels: Some may disagree with us on this trend, but we think the Super-high trend was dead-on. What a better way to show-off your summer tan and the hours spent in the gym!
  • Gladiator Sandals: Probably one of the trends that was close to being over-done...seems like everyone was "modding" existing sandals with straps and ties to achieve the look. With that said, the range of options well suited the bargain shopper to the distinctive diva's with deep pockets.
  • Pointy Toe Heels: Yes, this trend made the list...just as we were about to add it to the "loathe" list, we remembered how extremely versatile this style is (we still have a pair of Prada pumps for back in the day). Over the years, it seems like the pointy-toe remains just on the fringe of high-fashion acceptability.

3 Flats We Like

After recovering from our recent exploits wearing the latest skyscraper heels, we like to ease into a comfy pair of flats that still retain a little flair for our diva-like-tastes.

We hit the local boutiques and found the Ferragamo Varina, Car Shoe Shantung, and Kate Spade Pebbles were top of our list.

Ankle Boots With A Different Twist

Boots, boots, boots...it must be that time of year again! From peep toes to leather-trimmed cutouts to slingback styling, this year's ankle boot collection dare to be a little different from years past. Wear them with an opaque tight or under slacks for an instantly updated look.

We love these three stylish choices from Manolo Blahnik, Sigerson Morrison and Tory Burch:
