Wedge it!

I recently had quite an inspiring shopping trip to New Orleans. All the colors of spring and summer were out in full effect - plus the smells of great food being cooked and sounds of New Orleans Jazz music all around - who wouldn't have a truly amazing shopping experience.

One thing that I kept seeing over and over again was the over-the-top fun summer shoes. Tons of bright colors and embellishments of feathers and flowers made my feet want to jump for joy. It's finally time to say goodbye to the boots and say hello to sandals.

If embellishments aren't your thing, at least venture out with a bright colored wedge this season. Nothing says summer like an Espadrille in a bright color. Plus, the tall wedge will always help elongate the legs, so mix it will all kinds of outfits...dresses, shorts, jeans. You don't have to wear the same color outfit and shoe. Mix it up so that your shoes do all the talking!
