Spring Shoe Trend : Stone Embellished

Spring has barely been here and we have already covered 5 different shoe trends for the season: Nude, Caged, Cuffed, Studded and Ghillie Tie. Now, another week, another trend : Stone-Embellished. Take this look hand-in-hand with springs Tribal Trend that I highlighted a few weeks back and make a 360 statement. 


Nine West style 'Livlovlif" Sandal is embellished with turquoise and red stones with metal studded tribal enhancements.


The 'Earth' Wedge style by Castillo is a great statement sandal. The chunky stones make the thong of this style pop with fresh color.


'Trezure' by Steve Madden is full of texture! Snake-embossed leather material stretched over the stacked platform heel and decorated with stones and studs.


The Vince Camuto Emily Platform style demonstrates a more neutral stone vibe. The earthtone hues make this shoe more versatile while mixing in other shoe trends :: caged and cuffed.


BCBG does rhineSTONES. This flat is nude, monochromatic and simple. Yes, simple. Even with the stone embellishment, it's not over done and it's a great way to add a a little sass to a basic ensemble.

I love the combination of clementine coral, espresso and speckled eggshell white stones in Linea Paolo's Janelyn Sandal.  The wedge is classic, the straps are simple and their choice of stone makes for a great statement.
