"My Shoe Is Your Shoe"

Andy Warhol once said, "Beauty is shoe, shoe beauty." He knew exactly the sentiments of women all over the world. Before the Campbell Soup Cans and Marilyn Monroes, Warhol created shoe illustration ads for 

I. Miller, a shoe store on 5th Ave. during the 1950s. He epitomized the whimsical and glamorous in all things shoe.

Three decades later, Warhol revisited his subject of shoes with 

an added sparkle of diamonds, a girl's other best friend.

Thumbing through Warhol's fun collection of drawings and quotes in Shoes, Shoes, Shoes, got me thinking about Spring, and how on earth to dress my feet this season, and then I came up with:

Top 10 Shoe Trends for Spring

The Updated Gladiator Shoe: Now with a solid panel and less straps, how chic and multi-seasonal does this look! This shoe would be very cute with a charming sundress or fashionable shorts, whatever you choose, let your legs be bare and let your feet scream fierce! 

80's Purple, $189.

The Cut-out Flat: Oh-so-versatile, the noir webbing is very fun and adds an instant edge to your outfit. Dolce Vita, $79.99.

The Stiletto: Of course you can go higher. I just loved that these were a royal blue suede. Such a hard combo to come by! Endless.com, $99.22

The Pewter Shoe: Not silver, not gold, but pewter-gun metal-chrome. This is an excellent shoe for the eye-popping accent to your outfit. By wearing something subdued and having this pewter shoe be the focal point, I'd have to say congratulations, you've just stepped into the future of fashion. Pixiemarket, $122.

The Neon Flat: Don't these just brighten up your day? It's super cute, flirty, and a great addition to skinnies, ruffly skirts, highwaisted shorts, and spring/summer frocks. 

 Forever 21, $18.80.

The Over the Knee Boot: It was seen on plenty of the runways for NY Fashion Week, make it Spring by choosing this boot in a light brown/tan color or gray, then pairing it with a colorful/floral top and for the bottoms: something short. Urban Outfitters, $174.99.

The Cut-out Wedge: Shoe designers have been trying to update the wedge and what better way than to make it lighter while adding a forward design. This shoe designer is Dior.

Neiman Marcus, about a $G.

The Wooden Platform: The natural element of wood is very grounding to all of your Spring wardrobe. The earthy tone complements the flowers blooming around you, and the colorful suede takes it up a notch. As you've noticed, suede is rampant this season and this cypress platform is so feminine, a perfect match 

with a tulip or pencil skirt. Urban Outfitters, $79.99.

The T-Strap Flat: Retro-chic and perfect for an afternoon at the park

 or shopping in SoHo. Amazon, $99.95

The Studded Heel: "Shoe of the evening, beautiful shoe"

--Andy Warhol. Not sure if he was thinking about a shoe like this, but times certainly have changed, Andy. Mix this rockstar heel with an elegant black dress for that soiree of yours, and expect jaws to drop. Aldo, $125.
