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.
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.
The selection of trends this spring for shoes is like an endless candy buffet! We have gone through the line-up: Nude, Cuffed, Caged and now..Studs! Yes, the studs continue into spring and are making a remarkable impression! With so many trends, there are so many great ways to play up each look and even incorporate multiple trends into a solo shoe!
What a fabulous combo of all things spring trend! We have cuffed, caged, studs and tribe-vibe! The Nine West Imeila Sandal has it all packed into one hot style!
I always feature a splurge style and this Ash 'Lovely' Wedge is definitely my studded splurge for spring! Suede straps marry well with the leather wrapped wedge and antiqued brass hardware.
No matter what goes on in her social life, her stylish life seems to be boding well! Jessica Simpson's Ninja Wedge Sandals has a slightly stacked wedge with criss-cross detailing and antiqued hardware... the perfect boho chic look!
Michael makes my list again! The Astor sandal is both sporty and casual. The leather and suede combo gives a retro matte and shine look atop a stacked wooden platform. Then, it's deliberately finished with the perfect touch of studs outlining the visible threading.
Steve Madden also does a twist to a classic look by adding studs around the platform and on the heel of this Tobbi Pump.
My choice for studded flat: Boutique 9 Glory Sandals. The studded applique is youthful, yet sophisticated and really pops against the sueded background.
Turquoise is the season of the color. However, keep in mind the turquoise family also expands into the blues. The blue trend is leaking hues from bright cobalt's and southwestern turquoise's to indigo navy's and baby pastels. The different shades aren't shy so, mock the marbled blues you see in an oceans tints by mixing different hues to make bold blue statements.
BCBG did a great job incorporating a monochromatic mixture of blues with this Printed Draped Tank. The entire look reminds me of ocean waves with its gradient colors and movement in its fishtail hemline.
Stella & Dot's Cortez Turquoise & Suede Necklace is a great narration of statement! A radiant shade of turquoise from the tropical sea colors stones that dangle on an espresso waxed cord. The look is finished with wooden rings and a chocolate sueded tie closure.
Dip your feet into cobalt blue with Steve Madden's 'Loyyall' platform pump. Use this shoe as the statement to your outfit and really make it pop by wearing it with a black cocktail dress so all the attention goes to your toes! Then, finish accessorizing with the same cobalt hue.
The dark ink navy paired with a croc-embossed design on this Gianni Bini Gretchen Satchel is contemporary and sophisticated. The deep indigo color makes this handbag versatile.
The softer, more muted side of blues are great to use as neutrals to pair with bolder blues! Forever21's Modern Slip Dress would look fabulous finished with ink navy shoes and handbag. Or, if there is a chill in the air, cover up with a dark navy cardigan. Keep in mind, just because the lace is black, doesn't mean to accessorize with black. This is your chance to add depth of color and really play into the mismatching fun of the blue trend.
