And of course when I say Nine West, I also mean Rachel by Rachel Roy, Sam & Libby, Brian Atwood, Mootisies Tootsies, Jones New York, Bandolino, Easy Spirit, Joan & David, Circa Joan & David, Nine & Co., Nine West Vintage America, Boutique 9, Enzo Angiolini and AK Anne Klein - I'm exhausted just typing it all never mind looking at it all!
Here's what you'll be seeing next season:
Lots of sparkle - I absolutely adore the pink platform peep toed ones here!
Snake prints in bright colours!
Brights that make me want to sail away on a yacht!
Pinks
Blues and greens.
And so much beautiful orange - I'm a sucker for orange shoes!
Metallics - including another pair of peep toes to die for!
Colour blocking is still around and I love this bright blue with the black!
It's not spring without Nautical!
And check out the New Nudes - I love the pearly finish!
And of course Black & White
I am especially loving these romantic looking white lace ones!
One thing I really noticed for spring were all the cool details on the shoes - from an intricate wedge;
to a studded stiletto;
to a jeweled heel!
There are also some new things in the world of sneakers - Easy Spirit has a line of super lightweight and comfortable shoes coming in the spring - e360 -which feature: a stretch upper & sock lining to hug the foot for a custom-like fit; a gel cushion system; and a flexible and durable one-piece molded Elon outsole.As well, Nine West is introducing their own line of fashion sneakers - I must admit, I'm loving the gold metallic ones! They also have their first fragrance coming in the spring - Love Fury - stay tuned for more info on that.
And if you've ever wondered if there is an artist out there who paints pictures of shoes, the answer is yes, Mark Schwartz who was on hand with some art he had done exclusively for Nine West - I don't have any shots of that - this one is from his website at http://highheeledart.blogspot.com - and it just amuses me as I've always said that I would eat shoes if I could!
I can't deny that looking at beautiful spring shoes has me ready to skip winter altogether and go straight to spring!
