Spring and Summer Shoe Trends for 2013

can you say

SHOE-A-HOLIC

do you know what a shoe-a-holic is...

I'm pretty sure you do because I'm also pretty sure you are one. That's why you reading this, right. Come on. Admit it now. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. In fact, you should be proud!

I know I am.

And that is why I have looked out for, and now present to you, the shoe trends for the beloved warm seasons.

So let's start wiiiith my personal favorite:

1) The Ankle Strap

My favorite simply because there is just something about that strap around the ankle that makes any shoe that has it more feminine!

I am inlove with these Altuzarra Fantasy Print Ankle Strap Pumps

2) The Pump

Now this is the kind of shoe that can be worn with pretty much any type of outfit. All you have to do is match the colours. It's comfortable (usually, because the heel tends to be lower than our beloved platforms), petite, cute and makes the outfit stylish!

3) The Wedge

Nothing new or surprising with this one. Afterall, it has been around since, forever. I must admit that I have never really been a fan of wedges. but I know many of you are!

This wedge is by Michael Kors and it has a clear heel, which incorporates another Spring|Summer fashion trend, which is peek-a-boo.

4) The Slingback

Another detail that adds a touch of feminine to a shoe is a slingback. Although i often struggle to find a fitting pair since I have such tiny heels. More than half the time the slingbacks are loose around the back.

5) Open-toe

This I feel is almost a MUST during the hot seasons. Of course there are exceptions but ya, our little toes do need to breath in the heat haha.

6) Kitty Heels!!

I love my high heels but they have made such cute little designs with these kitty heels that I know I wouldn't be able to resist them.

8) The Flat

Yes yes. As much as I would love to be able to go evERYwHere in heels, let's face it, we need to wear flats once in a while. So anything with a really flat heel will do :D

9) The Espadrille

You may not recognize the name, but you will definitely recognize the shoe!

Basically it's a sandal with a sole made of rope or rubber and a cloth upper part.
