These Pour la Victoire sandals have a pop of pink-orange patent leather alongside beige leather. My favorite detail is the orange topstitching along the back!

Espadrilles! I’m so glad these are in style this season. I love the look of them and believe it or not, they are super comfortable too. The wedge makes them easy to walk in, so you get the height of a high heel, but the comfort of… well, an espadrille! I won’t say they’re as comfy as sneakers (that would just be a lie), but as far as high heels go, they are as comfy as it gets. Check out this pair of Prada espadrilles…

These Alexandra Neel t-strap sandals aren’t shy about being girly with the giant BOW along the top of the foot! The designer IS a former ballerina, after all. Dark brown luxurious leather covers this entire sandal so your feet will feel like they are in heaven! A peep toe and ankle strap add some more girliness to these.

How about some glittery Christian Louboutins to top it all off today? Mmmm, yeah, I think that sounds good!

No introduction needed for these. They’re sparkly, they’re strappy, and they have THE red sole. What more could a girl ask for? (Maybe a plane ticket to Paris so I can show everyone that I know how to roll with the locals in my Louboutins? Kiddinggg.)

I’d like to say that putting these Mochino sandals on your feet will automatically make you a great salsa dancer, but I’m pretty sure that’s called false advertising. Or lying. But if you ARE a salsa dancer, these will make you look even hotter! And if you’ve never danced a day in your life, these sandals will at least make you LOOK like you know what you’re doing. Until you step onto the dance floor. Then you’re on your own!

Make a bold statement in these Casadei heels! Choose from turquoise or red – both colors will add bold style to your shoe collection.

These Sigerson Morrison gladiators soooo make me want to escape to the beach. I’m thinking Hawaii has got to be nice this time of year. Yeah… wishful thinking!

These sandals have a tiny bit of a wedge, so they’re a little dressier than a flat sandal. The flecks of gold add a touch of luxury to the blank slate of white leather! These gladiators belong somewhere warm, sunny, and sandy. Pack them up for your next trip to warmer weather!

Two things I love: 1) flats and 2) wrap around sandals. So naturally, I have fallen pretty hard for these Costume National sandals! The lace up details along the foot remind me a little of gladiator sandals, but the ankle wrap gives these a whole new look. I’m liking the navy blue color a lot, too. It’s a refreshing change from the usual black or brown!

Seriously, how cute are these?? They’re kinda just your basic flat patent leather sandal, but Alexander McQueen has added the tiniest detail that makes ALL the difference! I mean, it’s basically a piece of tulle all folded up into a ruffle, then placed on top of the t-strap. Why didn’t I think of that?!

Whoa, baby!!! Check out these Rene Caovilla heels! You see that twisty thing that looks a little like a slinky? (The little gold pallettes overlap like scales and make it look slightly snake-like too, but let’s not go there). Yeah, anyway, that’s the part that wraps around your ankle! I’ve always loved shoes with some type of ankle strap or tie, but these take it to a WHOLE ‘nother level! Other details like the perfectly sculpted heel and Italian leather sole round it all out to give this shoe a perfect 10 in my wanna-be-expert opinion.

When it comes to clothing, I tend to jump the gun at the first sight of warm weather. I check weather.com like it’s my job. If I see any chance of warm weather approaching, I get SO excited because it means I can FINALLY whip out my spring clothes! Problem is, once I step outside in my aforementioned spring clothes, I realize I’ve gotten carried away once again. Just because 50 degrees is a whole lot warmer than 35 degrees doesn’t mean it’s actually WARM!!! I do this every single spring. When will I ever learn??

In any case, these Sigerson Morrison sandals would be perfect for me on a 60 degree day. That is until I went outside and realized my toes were going to freeze. Anyway, these have some great tie-details around the ankle cuff along with a zipper for easy removal. Skinny leather straps at the ankle and toes top it all off.

Sizes: 6.5, 7 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5

The original price was $575, but they’re on sale for $258.75 at theOutnet.com now!

As you can probably tell, I’ve been obsessed with Giuseppe Zanotti footwear these days. But there is a method to my madness! And that is because he makes awesome shoes of course! Seriously though, they’re leather, they’re Italian, they’re on top of the latest fashion – how can you NOT love anything labeled “Giuseppe Zanotti”!?

Moving along…

These gladiator sandals are in fact labeled with the aforementioned Giuseppe Zanotti name, therefore they rock. Automatically. This cannot be said of every designer that we feature on here, but there are a select few! These feature chunky brass buckles, thick leather straps across the foot, and a hip ankle strap. Here are some more details:

Leather upper
Triple buckle closure
