Put some Spring in your step!

It was a long and brutal winter. Had I not, from time-to-time jetted off to LA & FLA, I think I would have melted....well, frozen. 

Now that Spring is (sort of) in the air and the thermostat has risen above 40 (wahoo) while the sun has shined for more than two days in a row in southwestern Connecticut, we can be cautiously optimistic about what is to come...namely, Spring!

While the styles have been around, taunting us since last Fall, we can finally look at the amazing shoes that are for sale with some real interest. 

Now, these are sort of amazing because if you look at the platform, it's actually a mis-matched espadrille. I would totally wear these. The ankle strap intimidates me for a few reasons though. Namely, I feel like it looks like noose from which my limp foot (post breaking my ankle from wearing these), would hang.

I like these so much that I almost didn't post them (I dont want them to sell out). If I were a lady who lunches, I would want these because they, without question, would one-up everyone else's shoes. You could be wearing the simplest of simple outfits and these ever-so-subtly amazing shoes would just be like, wow, omg, amazing. Sorry, my words are not really flowing. Im thinking about my credit card balance. (Prada)

These are shoes I own. I purchased them last year (yes, we wear flats sometimes) and within 2 weeks both of my style-savy older sisters had purchased them too. Rarely were the three of us together without our matching shoes. It was cute and totally weird. Anyway, they are WITHOUT QUESTION, the most amazing flats one can buy. The sole is rubber so they just feel SO good when you are walking around.

Mine are a little shot after a summer of too-much wear. The question is...do I buy another pair? They aren't totally ruined and I dont think their damage is cobbler-able...but to spend the money again? Err...it seems sort of wrong. (Jimmy Choo)

What do you think? What shoes make you want to SPRING to the stores? Shameless, I know.
