[excerpt] Warmer weather is upon us, and this is cause for celebration. What better way to celebrate than to buy yourself some new shoes! In a funk? Buy some shoes! On a diet? Buy some shoes! Turning 39 again? Buy some shoes! Shoes, shoes, shoes -- there's no time to lose! And no excuse not to. But if you're anxious about wearing platforms and peep toes and flats, don't get your laces in a knot. We'll tell you what looks great and how to wear it.
Espadrilles/Wedges
You may think wearing wedge-soled shoes would be a recipe for a broken leg. In fact, wedge heels and espadrilles are super safe because your entire foot is supported. (Although we're not suggesting you run down a flight of stairs in them!) We also love wedges because, for those of us who are "vertically challenged," they add height. This funky footwear item should top the list of your "must haves" in balmy weather. Any shoe store or Website that is even remotely fashionable will have a variety of colors and fabric for you to choose from. The featured ankle strap wedge by Miss Sixty ($109) is available at LoveMyShoes.com. Also check out ShopBop.com.
