Get Shoe-Cuffed

The selection of shoe styles to choose from this season is oh-so-appetizing.  As promised, another week, another spring shoe trend! Last weeks trend highlight :: nude shoes. This week :: cuffed! 

I love the Tulua wedge by DV by Dolce Vita. This single style incorporates so many trendy details for spring :: stacked wedge, cuffed ankle, nude in color and back zipper to name a few. Then, DV sassed it up with a double-laced feature and revealing geometric cutouts. 


In one word: intriguing. It's one thing to have adjustable buckles on a shoe, but it's completely clever to have your buckle look like an actual belt. The N.Y.L.A Pura sandal executed the buckle wrap as if it was actually your genius that decided to wrap your belt around your shoe. The color blocking adds additional dimension for exceptional foot flare. 


Jessica Simpson's Adreana platform sandal has a stacked-cuff design. The look is secure with adjustable buckles and a zipper closure to support the double cuffed ankle straps. 

The Carson style by Michael Kors is incredibly sexy and svelt. Suede fabric stretches from the toe buckle to the cuff buckle for a classy look. The mixture of matte and shine adds a sophisticated level of texture. The shoe is almost like a tease -- from behind it looks like a strappy and skin-exposed fashion statement, until the front is revealed with classy, yet enticing, coverage. 

Consider the 'cuffed pump' your springtime boot. The Misty style by Dolce Vita wraps your ankles and kisses your toes with a luscious leather. The cuff is made functional with a zipper closure as an easy off/on mechanism.
