you need to know it

May 10th, 2008

I was shoe shopping yesterday and caught myself at thinking shoes were more than just footwear for me. Shoes are part of my personality, meaning I choose this or that style depending on what I feel like this or that day.

I can be a bitchy vixen one day and pick some peep toe high heels or pointy shoes, or I can feel like a little girl and pick flats or t-straps, or strappy sandals for a walk round the town. So what mood are you in now?

One must always know what kinds of shoes are the in things now. Just four words: bright colors and patent leather. All top trend things suit these requirements this summer. In women’s shoes, the style of the season is still the platform, but slingbacks and wedges are on their way back to our closet shelves.

I wonder if there’s a girl who doesn’t like bright colors, even if talking about shoes. Brights look very refreshing and light-minded. Women need some light-minded stuff, especially in summer. So be ready to welcome orange, yellow, pink, citrus green, blue, and red sling backs, cup-toes, flats and wedges. In fact, every color of the rainbow is well represented this season.

Brights will work with denim, whites, blacks, light neutrals, or any print that has the same color in it. But if you’re still seriously color-shy, you’d better avoid this trend, as Desiree Stimpert and other shoe experts say.

Slingback shoes are always popular with girls and they always look great – let it be a party with friends or a glam event or red carpet posturing.

Sexy and easy to wear, sling-backs are a natural match for skirts and dresses.

Wedge shoes are back! Wedge heels make you look cute. Don’t you love them?

Another new thing about footwear this summer is hole-ridden shoes. They’re as lovely and cute as all cut-out uppers. “Hask” shoes won’t bore you this summer. Just be hot, girl!

High heels, chunky heels, wooden heels – this season is definitely about the extreme heel. I wonder if it’s about “Gwyneth effect”. Remember her sky-high heels on the Iron Man promotion tour?

Architectural high heels are also posh this season.

Platform shoes are still hot this year, so hey don’t throw away your last season shoes they’re still in!

Floral and geometric prints like circles, squares and other patterns are big print trends this season. But when choosing them to wear be sure to make the rest of your outfit pretty simple not to look ridiculous. But generally, print shoes are an easy way to add interest and SATC glamour to your look.

Metallic shoes are another must-have trend. Natural metallics like silver and gold can be found in many collections this summer, I prefer Gucci metallic shoes.

Don’t forget about strappy shoes in many diverse variations: ankle straps, t-straps, cross-straps, and strappy Mary Janes. Dolce and Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli, thank you for the idea.

P.S. my yesterday’s shopping spree was a success. By the way, I’m a bitchy vixen today. You shouldn’t be afraid to show off the Carrie Bradshaw that is hiding inside you!
