Trend Forecast: SHOES! Creative Direction for Spring '11

Building a shoe collection takes time and effort, and a little foresight.  Let me save you the time and provide the foresight and show you what Spring '11 is all about!

Look for: Texture, sequines, studs, fridge. Look for: Crochet, Wood- lots of it. Look for: Chunky, the chunkier the better, and always High and mighty ;)


Ash- pair with jeggings & tall chunky socks or opaque tights & skirt.

Marc by Marc Jacobs- suitable with entire wardrobe (...except swimsuit)

Rough Justice- brilliant; pair with bright red dress & brown leather  jacket.

Baby Phat- eases the transition from winter to spring; beggs for a rich fur coat (bonus points if worn with studded back pockets on denim jeans)

Report- pair with leggings or body conscience attire!
 
L.A.M.B- Note to self: exotic and flamboyant shoes are never hidden.
 
Diba- Either roll up your chinos or pair with Lyrca leggings

Betsey Johnson- Perfect with wide bottom denim or a classic white button down dress- Walk the line between classic and edgy.

Juicy Couture- Pair with all black and a gold flecked cardigan.

Rosegold by House of Harlow- Ripped denim or equalluy substantial materals make  feminine footwear "pop."

 Bloch- How interesting! Let the flat do the talking and pair with a  demure pallette.

Calleen Cordero- Feminine apparel is taken more seriously with studed Combats.

Calvin Klein Jeans- Be creative, just don't pair with ALL denim.

Luxury Rebel- perfect with a lavender or nude colored dress.

Rock & Republic- Watch The Breakfast Club, draw inspiration.

Camilla Skovgaard- The structure is reminicent of bones, and in an ivory color! Pair with plenty of gold jewelry that draws the eye up and down your sillohette.

Keds, believe it or not...
