Shoes are no exception when it comes to the spring animal print trend. One of the most popular skins, (and my favorite) is python. When you think of python, you may think rock and roll. Yes, python is a bit edgy, but this season think pretty and chic! You can still rock these shoes with your skinny jeans and leather jacket, or you can wear them with a pencil skirt or feminine dress. The great thing about wearing snakeskin is they’ll add a bit of flavor to any outfit. These are a few I found, that are really hot:

MICHAEL Michael Kors Sycamore Sandal, $135.00 at Michael Kors

Bettye Muller Python-Print Sandal, $295.00 at Neiman Marcus

Shoe enthusiasts know how hard it can be to find footwear that is sexy, practical, and affordable. Luckily, the swoon inducing creations by Dolce Vita have all of these aspects well covered.

Think in black & white this summer with bold prints and stripes. Black & white is always a classic, but this season it’s definitely hot! From shorts to shoes, we’re spotting this trend all over the place. This color combo is one of my absolute favorites because it’s so chic and sophisticated and almost impossible to get wrong. To add a splash of color, I like to add a few colored bangle bracelets or a red, bright plum or aqua handbag.

Only a tiny shred of sheer willpower is keeping me from ordering these babies online right this minute. I love the minimalist wood heel and the nude color is spot on for spring and beyond. Loeffler Randall “Esther” Wood Heel Pump, $450.00.

A great update to the gladiator sandal with some added height and a simple, earthy cork wedge and nice crisscross t-strap detailing. Nine West Getby Platform Sandal Wedge, $78.95.

Kitten heels are also making a tiny comeback, and this little pair is so dainty and sweet with the bow and peep toe. Great for a summer wedding or an outdoor dinner date. Kate Spade Lora Sandal, $285.00.

Super simple thong sandals with an understated gold Tory Burch emblem for wearing to the beach and beyond. Tory Burch Thin Rubber Flip Flop, $45.00.

I couldn’t resist throwing in a pair of moccasins (they’re nude-ish colored right?) and they are a great hippie twist on this trend. These pair well with any casual, boho-chic outfit and are super comfy. Deerskin Thunderbird Moccasin, $45.95.

I’m a great lover of shoes. Not only because they serve a very important purpose, but many times because of their sheer beauty. Some shoes are definite objects of art, and you can tell designers have gotten their inspiration from the art world. Not only are they creating functional footwear, but are also true artists themselves. Here are a few of my favorite ‘artful shoes’.

Where do I shop when all else fails where I’m assured to find some fantastic, stylish clothing? Topshop of course. I was first turned on to the British high street shop when I lived in England. My English boyfriend described them as a stylish and edgy Banana Republic, but a bit more cutting edge than any US mainstream store. If you’re not familiar with Topshop, check them out. Here are a few recent finds from over the pond:
