Givenchy Fisherman Wedge

Filed under: Shoes

Spring doesn't seem to be making its way anytime soon but that doesn't mean we can't start window shopping for sexy spring heels. Givenchy's Fisherman Wedges ($1190) have a sporty and casual feel but could easily be dressed up with a lace top and slim fitting jeans or with a navy blue belted shirt dress. The Fisherman Wedges are adorned with multiple leather straps throughout the body, platform sole and wedge adding texture and visual interest. Additional features include an adjustable ankle strap and a back zip.

Lanvin Patent Leather Wedges

Perhaps it's the excitement and Oscar buzz over Black Swan, but Lanvin's Patent Wedges ($1280) completely reminds me of the movie. I can just imagine Natalie Portman's character wearing these to show her femme fatale side. They are seductively gorgeous and have an air of powerfulness with shimmering patent leather, a nude colored silk ribbon ankle tie which beautifully breaks up all the black, and 1 1/2" platform that instantly forces you to take notice. A subtle detail that speaks volumes is the angled detail on Lanvin's 5 1/2" wooden wedge heels. Wear with wide leg pants for a conservative look or with a body hugging dress to show off your femme fatale side.

Lanvin Denim Pom Pom Espadrille And Other Summer Denim Shoes

There is an everlasting and classic appeal to denim that is undeniable. It's easy to wear and matches anything that you already own. You can dress it up with heels and bold jewelry or wear casually with a pair of flats or sneakers. Denim is also versatile and has a wide range of uses. We've seen denim used for shirts, jackets, vests, jumpsuits, dresses, bags and of course, shorts. At one point in my life I've worn denim in every which way you can imagine. But I can't say that I've ever worn or wanted to wear denim shoes before - until I came across Lanvin's Pom Pom Espadrille ($319). They have the comfort of a flat sole with a slight cushion mixed with a quirky but ultra cute denim pom pom at the vamp. They are a unexpected and fun alternative to ballet flats that can be paired with a maxi dress, shorts, or even a little romper. See below for other denim shoes that will carry you throughout the seasons.

The Kooba footwear collection, which hit stores this month, is comfortable and chic, encapsulating the effortless glamour which first enchanted us. The Brazil-made collection of wedges and flats incorporates details like python-printed leather, studs and intricate buckles and runs $225 to $385. As for the future, a fall collection is already in the works and will include season-friendly styles like boots and clogs.

Shoes like the Kooba Mae (above, $295) are available from Kooba.com, Zappos.com and Endless.com, as well as many of the boutiques where you already shop Kooba.

Georgette Ghingam Check Wedges

I am not too sure what to make of these Wedges by Georgette Ghingam. The black and white checkerboard print gives a sense of elegance while the pink embroidered flowers adds a more lighthearted and girly appeal - but is this wearable? A wedge for the summer is a given. Wedges are everywhere and is one of the "it" shoes for the season, but the print almost seems distracting as opposed to enticing. Perhaps the pink flowers are a little overboard? The Ghingam wedges are made of fabric with black leather trim and the heel measures at 3.15". Price: $207.

Miu Miu Baroque Wedges

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

Miu Miu's Baroque Wedges sit right on the line that separates a good idea from an over-the-top one. Adding some ornamentation to the heel of a wedge sandal is a good idea, since it breaks up the monotony of the otherwise plain space. A design adds something to an overall look, almost like jewelry for your feet. Choosing a heavy baroque carving, however, was not such a good choice. It looks overwhelming on the shoes and they would have to be balanced with a heavy-looking top, not paired with a light dress. Price: $635.

Miu Miu Peony Wedges

Filed under: Shoes

Another fun summer shoe, Miu Miu's Peony Wedges are similar in concept to the Coach Mattie Wedges. Just like the Coach pair, these wedges have a floral pattern to add interest to their 5-inch platform heels, though the earthy tones of the peonies are considerably more demure than the bright blooms of the other pair. The soft tan-colored leather straps will hold the sandals securely in place during all summer activities, and they fasten with a gold buckle. Price: $395.
