Enjoy Spring’s most fabulous trend with the versatility of a nude colored pump.  Neutral pumps are perfect for Spring and Summer because they will go with everything!   The nude shade also elongates the leg for a very attractive look, as seen here on Taylor Swift.   Taylor is wearing the gorgeous Stuart Weitzman Friller pumps available at Jildor Shoes! that were recently featured in the May issue of InStyle magazine.  I love the way this blushed tone of beige looks with her floral print dress…..so cheerful, so Spring! This pump will look great however you decide to wear it.

The simplicity of the neutral shade of this pump lends itself well to the details of this sweet pump! The leather upper partially covers the wooden platform and is styled in a peep toe design and adorned with a knotted bow. The 1 inch platform reduces the relative heel height of this 4-1/2 inch heel significantly, also making it comfortable to wear.

You can pre-order the Stuart Weitzman Friller Pumps in this Adobe color (shown below on the top left) at Jildor Shoes until March 15th and receive it in May!   Zappos, as well as Endless, also has this style in several other colors and available now in Bone, Walnut, and Black!  So adorable, this pump is sure to be your ‘go to’ dress heel for your Spring and Summer outfits.

Launched in 1986, Stuart Weitzman has been making shoes that “make women feel good”.  With a commitment to craftsmanship and quality, Stuart Weitzman shoes have a loyal following of shoe lovers. While his shoes are a bit of an investment, you can be sure that you will have a well-made shoe that will not fall apart in one season!

Wedge sandals are going to be very popular this Spring. One of my favorite wedges is this covered Wedge Sandal by Dolce Vita. Styled with crisscross leather straps and the only hardware is the back zipper entry for a clean continuous sleek look of gorgeous pebble leather and sexy cutouts.

The Dolce Vita Pela is also available in black or light gray. Other colors, including dark gray and silver, are available here, but sizes are somewhat limited.

The Dolce Vita Raleigh Wedge Sandals is a lower wedge (at 2-1/2 inches) with edgy appeal. It has not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 buckles across the top….and they are all for design. This wedge sandal has a back zipper entry so you need never worry about adjusting the buckles every time you wear them.

Shown here in Silver, the Dolce Vita Raleigh Sandal is also available in black, brown, or light grey.

Launched in 2001, California-based Dolce Vita has fast become a favorite of shoe lovers everywhere.   Their chic looks are effortlessly stylish and this has earned them a loyal following.

Dolce Vita has some great styles this season that will get you started for Spring.  Click here to see more available styles by Dolce Vita.

        

These Olla Platform Sandals by Rachel Roy will mix beautifully with all your casual wardrobe favorites this Spring- from dresses and skirts to jeans.  The Olla Sandal features a boho-chic studded upper and a chunky platform with 4-1/2 inch heel and 1-1/2 inch platform.

What I like most about this sandal is the partially leather covered heel and the hardware decor on the heel.  The ankle strap is adjustable with velcro closure. Well-made to fit comfortably, these sandals are lined with leather. These sandals are also available in black, but I love the rich chocolate brown leather.

These sandals are part of Rachel Roy’s more affordable contemporary line ‘Rachel Rachel Roy’. Until recently, her collection was sold exclusively to Macy’s but now you can buy directly from her website, RachelRoy.com.

Since the debut of her collection in 2005, I’ve been a fan of Rachel Roy’s classic and sophisticated designs. You can see her Fall 2010 Ready to Wear collection here.

        

This cold weather has me browsing the online shoe stores for new shoes and dreaming about wearing strappy sandals and open toe shoes. If you are ready for warmer weather where you are, I highly recommend checking out the new Spring shoes that are out now. Start planning early the shoes you will need to add to your collection this Spring.

L.A.M.B. Shoes by Gwen Stefani are always so chick and sexy. Be prepared to walk on stilts because the heels are quite high, but you’ll get a bit of help with the nearly 1 inch platform on these new L.A.M.B. Shoes.

The L.A.M.B. Vail Platform Pump has stacked angular-shaped cutouts and overlays in suede and smooth leather atop a partially gold metallic heel and a basket-weave platform. I just love the contrasting textures on this sandal! Available in black/grey or in this black/red/natural style as shown in the image above.

The L.A.M.B. Verdu also incorporates a mix of textures, with mesh lace trimmed with leather. This sandal is also available in black, but I think these colors and the mesh lace are perfect for Spring and Summer!

Gwen Stefani is widely recognized for her eclectic personal style and natural elegance. Her shoe collection is born out of her love of fashion and design and is a reflection of her personal style and creativity.

        

Jeffrey Campbell is fast becoming one of my favorite shoe designers for keeping his line innovative and exciting. My fav shoe from his latest collection is the Charlie clog.  This clog has classic lines as you would expect from any traditional clog.  The brass tack detailing very much reminds me of my old clogs from the 70s (if any of you are old enough to remember those).  However, there are also some updated design features that make these clogs a show stopper today.   The strap is convertible and can be worn behind the ankle for support as well as a unique style (see picture below). I also like that the strap is substantial and seems to fit in proportion with the overall style of the clog.  The high wooden platform combined with the gorgeous leather make this clog a must-have.   It’s no wonder these clogs are so popular and selling out.   If you’ve been shopping for the recently sold out black clogs, they are back in supply.  You can find the Charlie Clog in good supply at Jildor in Black or Tan leather.

These clogs would transition well into Spring and could be worn with just about anything casual from dresses to jeans.

Frye Riding Boots are not only a classic boot but they are currently a popular style among boots trends this season. With all of the sky high heels and platforms, they are also a comfortable alternative to looking chic during Fall and Winter. Riding boots typically have a 1 inch or less heel, making them super comfy, yet stylish at the same time.

Here are some of the latest riding boot styles by Frye…

The Frye Paige Tall Riding Boot features a traditional, timeless silhouette with chic lines defined by a top stitched leather overlay on the front. Shown here in black, the Paige Riding Boot is also available in brown, dark brown, or tan.

The Frye Paige Clovertab Cuff Riding Boot features vintage leather with prominent clovertab hardware laid across a suede insert.  Shown here in fawn, the Paige Clovertab Boot is also available in black or cognac.

The Frye Melissa Button Riding Boot features classic styling with buttons at the top of the shaft.   Shown here in fawn, the Melissa Button Boot is also available in cognac, dark brown, bordeaux, or black.

The Frye Dorado Riding Boots have buckle detailing and a 1 inch heel.   Shown here in black, the Dorado Riding Boots are also available in bordeaux, dark brown, or spice.

The Frye Shirley Riding Boot has hand-antiqued leather and buckle detailing at the top of the shaft and ankle.  The top of the shaft can be folded down or worn straight up.  Shown here in red-brown, the Shirley Riding Boot is also available in dark grey, black, or bordeaux.

Established in 1863, the Frye Company is the oldest shoe company in America. This long history has given them a reputation for making finely crafted, fashionable boots using the finest leathers and quality hardware.

Frye Riding Boots range from $300 – $500, but they are a worthy investment because they will last for years, looking better as the leather ages. You’ll want to care properly for your investment by using saddle soap are a good leather conditioner. This will ensure that your riding boots look great for many years.

Riding boots are meant to be sleek and form fitting, so make sure that your riding boots fit snuggly against your leg. If you find your leather riding boots to fit a bit too snuggly around your leg, try taking them to a cobbler to have the leather stretched.

If you only have one pair of riding boots among your boot collection, black or brown boots will have the most versatility among your Fall and Winter wardrobe pieces. You can wear your riding boots with leggings or with pants tucked inside. They can also be worn with dresses or skirts. Be sure that the hem line is above the top of the boot and, for a polished look, wear tights in the same color as your boots to keep the lines of your outfit.

        

The Fall collection by New York-based Farylrobin shoes combines gorgeous leathers with just the right heel heights to keep you feeling confident and stylish. I love the retro styling of these new dress pumps by Farylrobin.

The two tone upper is striking in black with its snake-embossed leather trim and the tie-front on these pumps is very popular right now. The heel is leather-wrapped and is a very reasonable 3 ½ inches. There is also a ¾ inch hidden platform. This Farylrobin Versailles pump also has a leather lined upper and a cushioned footbed for added comfort. The stiched overlay details, toe seams, and lace closure give this design the finishing touches for a lovely pump! The Versailles Pump is available at Online Shoes

        

These fierce boots by Cynthia Vincent will certainly take your look up a few notches. The Cynthia Vincent Kala boot features sexy fish bone style cut-outs, a hidden platform, and a conical heel. The rear zipper at the heel is placed well, and does not interfere with sexy lines and cut-outs on the front and sides of these boots.

The gray color of the Kala boot is perfect in that it doesn’t detract from the daring femininity but instead makes it subtle and mysterious. These boots would look fabulous paired with gray tights.

Cynthia Vincent only recently expanded her clothing line to include footwear in 2005. In that short time, her shoe collections have gained a reputation for unique styling that is feminine and sophisticated.
